Tom and I had a great time in Louisiana. The crawfish boil was so much fun and a lot more festive and fancy than I ever thought a crawfish boil could be. I feel so lucky to have not only Tom in my life but also his wonderful family. They have always treated me kindly and warmly and have made me feel completely accepted. Of course, Tom is a wonderful guy, and it only makes sense that he comes from a wonderful family.
It was nice, too, to be away from work for four days. I go back tomorrow, but I feel so much more refreshed and happy than I've felt in a long time. These past couple of months were so ridiculously and stupidly stressful because of a build up of so many little, tiny things that could have been easily brushed off if I had allowed myself the space and time to decompress. It's such common sense to take breaks and allow yourself to relax, but it seems so hard to actually give ourselves that much. How silly.
