Takin' it easy

Well I’ve done it, I’ve requested a week off work for vacation. (The request was approved).

I can’t remember the last time I took a vacation that wasn’t just the week surrounding Christmas or something. Typically I take a day here and there as needed to stay sane, and then take enough time around Christmas / New Years that I can take my time with the family and what not.

But, right now I need more than a day here and there to stay sane, and not having taken an honest vacation in a long time (like approaching EVER) … I promised myself a while ago that I would take a vacation and GO SOMEWHERE.

I have succeeded in only half of that promise. I have taken a week off. I’m not however going anywhere. I would love to travel and go see things that are on ‘my list’ … but I’m too disorganized right now to feel good about doing that. So, I’m gonna take a week and relax, and get done alot of things that I’ve been dying to get done but never have the time to do during the work week. I’m gonna catch up with myself so to speak.

I still have a few weeks to get through before my vacation starts, but at least its scheduled.

ah …. I feel so much better already.
