Planning to Relax

Okay, so I am a planner by nature. I can be spontaneous, but most of the time I have to plan to be spontaneous. Several weeks ago, I reached a melting point. I can always tell when I need a break from work, but once that comes, I normally can't just take time off. So, the debate became, do I take a week of vacation in May and just lay around the apartment, or do I take a week in June and go somewhere? I went back and forth for a couple of weeks, discussing the finer points of the decision with many, many people (most of which probably didn't really care what I did as long as I stopped talking about it). But eventually I had a BRILLIANT idea handed to me...why not do both? I have the vacation time. BUT, I'm also taking a week off in August to go to Florida, so I couldn't really foresee myself taking a week in May, a week in June, and a week in August. So, I considered for another week what I would do. My final decision (if anyone is still reading to find out)....
This Friday starts a five day weekend for me. HOORAY! Relaxing at home.
Yesterday I booked a ticket to Texas in June for a week. HOORAY!
August I will go to Florida. HIP HIP HOORAY!

Let my vacation season begin...

I'm a little jealous...while, in 3 weeks, I will not work for 3 months; grad school is still going on. But I would like a complete break from everything, but that is far from happening.

Good for you!!! I hope you get to just relax! You deserve it! I can't wait for the trip to Florida. It will be so nice for us all to be together!

I was going to ask you today where you were going- too busy with my super fun paperwork to remember I guess! Glad you are getting some much needed time off. If I would have known, I would have brought you in some good books :)If it makes you feel better, I'm taking a week off in August AND September and don't feel a bit guilty!
