When the cat's away the mice will play.

Being away from work for just one day is so much work!(at least for a teacher, or this teacher). First you have to prepare to be absent with lesson plans that make sense to someone who just walks in with no knowledge of your class or students. Then when you get back, you have to sift thru what happened while you were gone. And now I'm going to be out again tomorrow for a workshop...sigh.
