The miracle of a long-enough vacation
I went back to work today, and I was actually almost ready to go back to work! I think the timing was just about perfect. One more day off and I'd've started to be kind of mentally blobby. One day fewer, and I'd have been sad.
Today, I was a little sad and not too mentally blobby, so it wasn't bad. And I didn't get rained on riding in! Which was almost a disappointment because I was wearing my new rainboots.
Mind you, I had to take a sleeping draught last night to force myself back into that "Yes, I sleep at night and work during the day" normal-human schedule that eludes me hour by hour over any quiet vacation period. Ah, the joys and trials of living alone!
During my vacation I rode my bike quite a bit, conquered a really thorny timeline-and-plot problem on the novel, made some overdue improvements to my wardrobe (viz Rainboots!, above), blogged a lot, and spent just the right amount of quality time with friends and family.
Now I'm back and rarin' ta go. On vacation again. Maybe in a couple of weeks.
