1. apparently the confines of an office have kept me safe from many illnesses and accidents... since i've been home i've been sick twice and have countless bruises and cuts from all of my projects and clutziness. who knew having a job actually prevented problems...?
2. Bridger is a great companion cuz she only wants to cuddle and has no interest in making me clean or get dressed :)
3. i need a schedule... some people thrive on being schedule-less, and honestly, i find not having a schedule very relaxing in a sense. it's not what you're thinking - i am not a big slob who sits around all day (plus i always follow the rules of "being a perfect house wife" and put something nice on, clean up the house and freshen up 'fore rynryn comes home), i am actually too productive. well, ok, maybe not too productive, it's just that without a schedule, i can't stop, i see projects everywhere and feel absolutely compelled to complete them immediately. who am i?? not sure if it's cuz i've just never had this much time off or if this is what adult-kelly is like, but boy, i am tiiiiiiiiired! granted i've been sick and it's been crappy weather out, but i've only done 2 fun vacationy things, which has got to stop! or start? an example of what i've completed: fixed broken wood on deck, planted mini garden and flowers, cleaned entire house, 15 load of laundry (no i am not exaggerating), decorated our upstairs, oil changed, grocery and house shoppin, yard work, removing wall paper border in guest bedroom, sorted through all clothing and shoes to give away, cleaned laundry room, etc etc. i could go on, but i'm even boring myself...
4. do not, under any circumstances, try to watch all 4 scream movies in one day. it is a feat mere humans cannot possibly complete. 'cept nate and i. that's right yo.
5. it becomes more and more clear to me as i get older that i am truly an outgoing introvert. i absolutely love people, but i need to be alone to recharge. that has been one of the absolute best parts of this time off. i feel very rejuvenated and alive, ready to start a new job... i know some people don't need time alone, at least not for that reason, but it calms my heart and soul...
6. sleeping in is over-rated
7. vacation is a lot less fun alone
8. my feather extensions have loosened and i'll be honest, i'm slightly tempted to steal a few from the bird's nest next to our bedroom window...
9. eating whatever you want on vacation mainly leads to boredom (and weight gain... not sayin, just sayin)
10. we live in a society that is over-worked , always busy and cannot seem to take a second to care for themselves, their belongings or loved ones. if we had a couple of weeks off (required) a year, well, i just cannot imagine what the population would be like. why can't we be more like europe where they take month-long "holidays"?
in conclusion - i haven't really used my brain much in the past 1.5 weeks, so you can pretty much breeze through most of what i said and forget it :)
