Checking In

*Just wanted everybody to know that my summer vacation is going quite well. This week has been restful so far. After taking the wife to the train I go back to bed. I get up around ten and then I water the plants and exercise. Then I shower. Afterwards, it is time for lunch. I have started working on my DVD courses that I am doing for salary

oh,not practicing your sprinting?

No need! I should win without problem. Also, you have not given me proper motivation by figuring out a suitable wager.

It depends. I actually worked the first few summers of my teaching career. But the money gained never really added up enough to make it worth it. Most teachers have some vacation, maybe they take a class or two if they need them for certification requirements and salary advancement, and there usually is a meeting or two they get paid to attend. Actually, I have three days of meetings coming up (Friday, Monday, and Tuesday). But overall, I read books and just take life at a much slower pace. It's nice. Shop when the stores are empty, meet some friends for lunch, etc.. It is like being retired for two months.

It's such a joy! This is my first week of doing less and back home. I wish we were closer so we could do lunch:) I did join the gym yesterday so I'm hoping to actually start going. But if I just walk to it most days I get 2 miles in even if I don't go in the door!

I try to exercise early in the day. This helps me justify my lazy attitude for the rest of the day. LOL. We will have to do a phone lunch (or breakfast in your case) someday.

There a part of me that thinks that would be cool. Another part think I'd end up depressed and then find 50 projects to work on and become obsessed with. But I think I'd like to try it for a month. Hmmm. Dressage and jumping everyday for a month. Ok, works for me.

Glad you're having fun and give a big hug to your lovely lady.
