Thanks, Thanksgiving – I needed that
Thanksgiving itself and the run up to it were frenzied and exhausting as usual, what with trying to squeeze a whole week’s worth of work in to three days, and cramming in baking a pie and making vegetarian dishes, but the last three days have been wonderful.
For three glorious days I went almost nowhere and did almost nothing. I had some plans for Friday that fell through, and while I was bummed about that at first, it turned out to be for the best. In fact, it was great to be completely obligation-free. I hung out with John and Seamus. We took Seamus for a nice hike in the woods. We tried a new Chinese restaurant and flipped through guidebooks and made plans for our trip to Europe. I read a couple of books. I slept in and took naps. I watched a little TV. I had plenty of spare time to fit in my workouts. I’m very pleased to say that after the last few days I’m feeling more relaxed and refreshed than I’ve felt in months.
Of course, tomorrow morning it is back to work and the usual grind. But hey, I had three great days. And actually Thanksgiving, while long and tiring, was pretty nice too, so let’s make it four great days. Even better, I have a bunch of vacation days I have to use up by the end of the year, so December is going to be chock full of opportunities for me to relax. I’d say the last few days are proof that I’m more than ready for some time off.
But enough about me. How was your Thanksgiving weekend?

My weekend was long. Lots of people passing through AVL, actually had to do some real work. Thankfully! I've got Mon and Tue off.
Whee!
