Last year was ridiculously busy. My day job, once manageable with moments of stress became all stress with moments of manageability. This year I'm all about the work-life balance. I've asked for assistance, I set limits, and when I was told I had to take vacation or I'd start losing my vacation hours, I gladly booked a long weekend at Orcas Island. You can't help but relax and enjoy life with your funny husband and a view like this.
