Where did the summer go?
It occurs to me ,when I stop for a minute, that we spend way too much time looking forward to the next thing. The whole work to live not live to work thing.....anyway.......
I have a lot more responsibility with my job than in the past and it weighs on me. It's been a year in this role (already) and just when I think I've got it down I realize all that I still don't know. It's not a complaint, I really like what I do. I just never could have imagined the level of concentration and commitment it would take to do it. I'm beat.....
I have a 3 day weekend. Yesterday was spent doing nothing but crashing on the couch and making some food with Wifey working a closing shift. We'll actually have two days off together this weekend so that's a plus. Our Sunday's (our only reg. day off together) over the summer have been great. We usually relax by the pool, today I'm not sure the weather will cooperate.
We've started talking about time off for the upcoming year. It'll pretty much run the same way as before, a week off in March and a week off in November. We both get more time than in past years so we should have long weekends peppered in as well. I'll probably need a break around my birthday.
We're thinking of taking a Carnival cruise, something we haven't done. We've been reluctant to go on that line only because they appear at times to be a little low end. I guess that's not really true especially on longer itineraries. We'll see. They are heading to some places we haven't been so that's a plus - stay tuned.
Yard work and side projects have taken a long hiatus......a few months of upcoming cooler weather seem to somewhat coincide with a slower work schedule. We'll see what that brings.
