Me, last year: Let's not take all my notes with me. Let's just leave them at the office and try to have a proper Xmas break. Also, let's already put some clean, dry, professional clothes in your office, because January might be wet and you might be groggy on the first day and tired and not wanting to carry so much stuff.

Me, this morning: Oof, too much snow to ride my bike. I'll walk, instead. Good thing I don't have to carry all my notes and dry clothes, but have everything waiting for me in my office. Thank you, Anna-of-the-past.

The lock on my office door: hahahhahahhahaha you think I'm going to open for you? Nah.
