Itching to get away
Ever reach a point when you know you just need to get away from it all for a little while? When you feel like one more little thing might set you off just due to the day to day stress of things? I feel like that right now. This summer has been a mixed bag. It started out pretty great and we had friends come visit for a few days. We fixed up somethings around the house that had been neglected and things were looking pretty good. Then a very important project, as I’ll call it, came up at work and everything has been non-stop stress since then.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind some stress and for the most part I enjoy my job, but there does need to be some balance in there somewhere. I’m not sure exactly why we let it get to this point, but I don’t think I’m alone in this. In a case like this, it’s just part of doing what needs to be done. In addition, we’ve got several trips planned between now and when we get more vacation time, so I’m trying to conserve what I have left. It’s always nice to have a few extra days left over when the holidays roll around.
So, I need to get away, plain and simple. Next trip, New Orleans, the Big Easy, home of great Jazz and even better food. It’s been three years since I’ve been there and I’m anxious to get back for some authentic Cajun and Creole food. Yum! Now that I think about it, it seems like a lot of my vacations and trips are planned around food. Oh well, there are worse things to live for!
