A little R and R....

So, I got 5 days of vacation to spend between Oct 06 and March 07, so I took 1 on "Black Friday", and the other 4 I took the 4 proceeding days after Christmas, to build a series of 10 straight days off from work. Apparently, from all the away messages, most of the office had the same idea.

Any way, I was completely stressed out, and the vacation came to slow and went to fast, but it was a great time.

It is an unbelievable feeling to sleep until 8am on a Wednesday.

I spent most of the week eating whatever I wanted and playing AOE 3 with various of my relatives, mostly my brother. It was pretty cool.

So now comes the most depressing day, December 26th, and the most depressing few weeks of the year. Could there be a bigger let down? What other time of year can you say follows such an extensive good time? I could say the day after my wedding was a pretty big let down, but it wasnt, because we were boarding for a cruise to the Bahamas. I cant think of anything else.

........the good news though, there is now 363 days until next Christmas and counting!
