Oh joy, oh rapture

desperanceI am free. I am home. Home!
I was scheduled to be at this time just half an hour into a two-hour session with students; but the university had miscalculated my hours and overscheduled me. I am willing to show willing, but not that willing: not for two hours of unpaid contact time. So I have come home. I did walk past the pub and think "I could go in there and get a bottle of wine and take out the laptop and redeem this afternoon" - but no, I came home.
And am sitting here with a glass of wine and a vaguely vague expression on my mind. Don't quite know what to do with this unmetered time: I could get sloshed and veg out, or I could try to knock the novel on from its gear-slipping stuckness, or I could work on the Big SF Idea, or read my f-list and actually respond to a few of my friends, or do something to promote the Lit & Phil appeal, or...
I dunno. But I am free and home, and I do not have to go back to the university till next week. Or ever, if I win the lottery and allow it to change me, such that I go back on my word and break my contract and walk out on my friends and leave good people in the lurch and become selfish and indulge myself. Oh, please...?
