back to work

Gearing up to go back to work. Why did it have to get so cold right before I am supposed to go back? I feel entropy of the warm couch. The dishes gathered around the sink watch me evilly. My suitcase still lies open from my trip. I've got to get ready to go back - it's like balancing a checkbook, being ready for work is part of the equation. Am I shallow if what I really want is a whole closet full of new clothes? At least a pair of new pants would be nice. All I ask for is a pair of pants that can go in the washer and don't really need to be ironed that much.
