Time off from work is a glorious thing, and I finagled a whopping 3 weeks off from work this summer. Believe you me, I am cherishing every single second. Here is what I have done on my vacation:
- Spent quality time with quality friends
- Roller bladed
- Helped a few friends rake in a ton of dough
- Watched the sunset over Lake Superior (Michigan!)
- Saw the night sky with more stars than I have ever seen, including shooting stars (Michigan!)
- Stayed up late and then slept in.
- Read some good books (Handmaid's Tale!)
- Brushed the cats and got enough fur to make a million pillows (ya know, if I were to make pillows out of my cats' fur)
- Became laboriously addicted to Words With Friends
- Honed my vocabulary skills (see above number 9)
- Learned what "Jimp" meant (to jizz in your pants) from above #9
- Pined for things I do not have, but relished in what I do have.
- Took an entire day off from life by not answering my phone (it only rang once anyway),not talking to anyone (other than 4 words uttered to my cat), and having no responsibility.
- Went into a bat cave (Michigan). Well, kind of a bat cave, more like an old mine shaft.
- Gave thanks for good health (mine and others).
- Thought about work, but only fleetingly
- Walked the beach of Lake Superior, both in Duluth and in Michigan
- Hiked the dogs nearly every day (except on my day off from life day).
- Went frog catching (but stopped after scaring the poor little critters so did not catch one)
- Got eaten alive by mosquitoes.
- Had an adventure for my tummy in which I tried Tofu and Mock Duck.
And the best part is, my vacation is not over yet. I still have 2 weeks to go!! There will likely be a part 2 of what I did on my vacation/staycation as I inch closer to heading back to the real world.
