It was nice to be able to do them in an unhurried way (and without having little people barging into the bathroom).
And now I can no longer avoid the leftover work I have from the week. Well, I can avoid most of it til Monday but one thing that was due "this week" which probably meant the business week, but technically, a new week starts tomorrow (except in the other hemisphere where it's already tomorrow).
