p.s. Fuzzy Sock Day def: I don’t have to go anywhere, make phone calls about mundane business matters (schedule the minivan for new tires and brakes), or answer silly form letters (like IRS tax audit forms and FSA receipt requests).  I put on my fuzzy elmo red socks, eat something frivolous (cocoa krispies for lunch time), and devour a book before cooking dinner.
