marcicat | like Christmas without the stress

According to this handy website, the last time Juy 4th was on a Wednesday was back in 2007. (Honestly, I’d been hoping it would be longer ago than that, because it would have sounded way more impressive.) ((Also, 2007 wasn’t a great year for me — broke my foot, quit my job, totally wasn’t eligible for anything like “holiday pay” for stuff like Independence Day.))

But! This year I am loving the timing. Fourth of July is a low-stress holiday (no presents, and we get pizza for dinner!), plus the whole Wednesday thing means the WHOLE WEEK is basically accepted as a write-off at work. So far, so good.

Last but not least, and thanks to wikimedia commons: because freedom!
