Thoughts, opinions and daily ramblings …

I’m into day 4 of my vacation and here’s what I’ve learned:

1.  I absolutely NEEDED the time off from work.  Sometimes you need to just step back and decompress.

2.   Cleaning one room shouldn’t take all day.  Ok, I didn’t start at 8:00 but I did end around 4:00, with some breaks here and there.  And in my defense I went through all the cabinets and cleaned, it’s not like I was just surface cleaning.

3.   Naps are wonderful.  I already knew this but it’s worth noting

4.   A lot of people take this week off from work.  I took the kids ice skating yesterday and the place was packed.

5.   Ice skating at 40 isn’t so bad after all.  I might have felt differently had I fallen but it turns out that ice skating is just like riding a bike, you don’t forget.

6.   At 40 one does tend to forget where they park.  Actually, this has been going on for years but now the panic sets in when I can’t find the car.

7.   By day 4, which is today, laziness sets in.  Aside from some grocery shopping, I haven’t moved from my seat or my laptop since I got up this morning.

8.   I could never work from home all day, every day.  Not only would I go crazy, I would weigh 500lbs.

9.   I’m starting Weight Watchers for the New Year!  I’ve been home for the past 6 days!  Ok, it started long before that but this is what I’m using as my excuse.

10.  Come Tuesday, I’ll be ready to go back to work.
