The miracle of a long-enough vacation

[darkemeralds]

I went back to work today, and I was actually almost ready to go back to work! I think the timing was just about perfect. One more day off and I'd've started to be kind of mentally blobby. One day fewer, and I'd have been sad.

Today, I was a little sad and not too mentally blobby, so it wasn't bad. And I didn't get rained on riding in! Which was almost a disappointment because I was wearing my new rainboots.



Mind you, I had to take a sleeping draught last night to force myself back into that "Yes, I sleep at night and work during the day" normal-human schedule that eludes me hour by hour over any quiet vacation period. Ah, the joys and trials of living alone!

During my vacation I rode my bike quite a bit, conquered a really thorny timeline-and-plot problem on the novel, made some overdue improvements to my wardrobe (viz Rainboots!, above), blogged a lot, and spent just the right amount of quality time with friends and family.

Now I'm back and rarin' ta go. On vacation again. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

The fact that the NYT has enough bicycling articles to allow you to say "every time" thrills me no end, and the fact that that guy has, so far, four pages of comments in the form of really great bike questions is just wonderful!

Speaking of which:

I keep planning to mail the hard-copy ones with the not-actually-Christmas-2009-anymore goodies that ended up not being confected.

Oh, now that? That was all over the bike-o-sphere yesterday or the day before, and I've been droolingly thinking about it ever since. Podfic, baby! Porn for all to hear! LOLOLOL
