Up until last year it was a holiday on my work calendar. This year it has been nixed to give us one floating holiday, which we can use to celebrate a birthday, religious observance or whatever we want.
I decided to take my floating holiday today, since I'd already been planning on it and since it is, for me, more of a "Beat the Winter Doldrums Day" than anything else.
With one ice storm melting away and another gearing up for later in the week, I plan to hunker down, to read, write and organize (not too much of the latter, I bet). In other words... to float.
