Time of the Season
It's that time of the year when you'd rather be thinking about the beginning of something than the end of something:
being excited about planning next semester's classes rather than actually, you know, grading the papers from this one, even though you loved this semester's classes.
thinking ahead to seeing family at Christmas instead of finishing up the Christmas shopping.
actually being at MLA instead of finishing up the paper for it.
the projects you've got lined up for next semester instead of finishing the ones for this semester.

HA!
All of that is 100% true.
And I'm stuck at home with a sick kid but not any of the next semester stuff I wish I were working on or ought to be working on either... (Somehow I packed up my external harddrive but never actually put it in my bag.)
Being stuck at home with a sick kid means a dispensation from all work. That's what the universe is telling you by making you leave the harddrive behind.
For those of us on the market:
research neighborhoods to live in if we got the offer rather than preparing for the interview!
