Vacation started to feel like vacation after a few days
Current mood:
okay
Hard to believe I’ve been away for over a week. Here’s the run-down–
- Ran away from the office, packed in a scatter, and threw everything in the car.
- Stopped in Richmond, VA to meet an associate I met at a conference to meet his team who do similar work (only seem to get more done.) Had dinner with his family, shared code with the team.
- Arrived in Charlotte, NC just in time to hang out with Heather’s co-workers. Felt good to dance.
- Did a little too much work from NC, but that’s the price I paid for not getting it all done before I left
- Had a great Thanksgiving meal with friends. Smoked the turkey — came out perfect, as did everything.
- Spent the day after Thanksgiving turning board games into drinking games.
- Bought a ticket to the Bahamas — going in mid-December just because I can.
- Spent too much time in my favorite bead store
- Survived a trip to Barnes and Noble
- Went to my first NFL game
- Went to my favorite dive for dinner of fried pickles and a burger that had chili, cheese, and cole slaw — yes, on the burger
- Went back to the bead store for more
- Trying to figure out what to do with all the beads, silver, and my new silver hammer and steel mini anvil
- Leaving tomorrow to go to Norfolk, Va to see Heather, who left this morning on a business trip
- Taking my time Wed. to get to Atlantic City to see Jason and Angela.
- Returning home Sunday
Then it’s 2 weeks of work, then more time off. I could actually survive the year!
