It’s not uncommon to hear friends and colleagues talk about the great vacation they went on, but they were so exhausted when they got back that they needed a vacation from their vacation.
I’m in the same boat after the bridge tournament. So today, i took a mini vacation. Today all i did was:
- Sleep til noon – hey, give me a break, i was driving most of the night!
- Finish reading the last quarter of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, which is overdue at the library.
- Blog
- Write up some bridge hands from the tournament
- Drink coffee
- Catch up on RSS feeds
- Chat online
- Call my mom
- Pet the dog, who i think was happy that we returned to him, but i really can’t tell
I most certainly did not:
- Unpack
- Do laundry
- Return the overdue library book
- Play bridge online
- Cook
- Login to work email – that can just wait until tomorrow
- Clean, even though i have a busy week ahead and Lance’s parents coming to visit this weekend (and i know that doesn’t matter to anyone but me, but it matters, to me, and i still didn’t do it today)
It was my mini-recovering-from-vacation vacation, and i needed it!
