Back to the Grindstone

I've been on vacation this past week. I made the mistake of taking 5 days off, starting last Friday. This means I have to go back to work on a Friday. Because of my job, I feel I need to be in the office during month-end close of the financial books. That starts tomorrow, so I am headed back.

I didn't do a whole lot on vacation. We stayed at home, and just kicked around the house mostly. We did some shopping, went to visit Austin, did some more shopping, read a book, joined the local library and generally relaxed.

It may sound boring, but this is the first week long vacation I have taken in 3 years. I was excited to do nothing, and find that to be a reasonable payoff for the hours and stress of my job during the other 51 weeks of the year.

Now, I just need to figure out how to make doing nothing a paying job, so I can feel good about accomplishing something when I take a vacation.
