Out of office

the last day of work before a vacation is the absolute best. for me, it's usually a really busy day filled with last minute meetings and finalizing reports/budgets/tracking documents but inside, i'm slowing down my mind and getting ready to turn on "vacation mode." so much excitement, rest and relaxation ahead and it doesn't matter if it's a two week break or a three day weekend. it's just so nice to get away from it all.

likewise, the last day of vacation is kind of the worst. knowing that it's all coming to a close and that you don't get to do it again for months is just so sad. it's kind of like the "sunday night funk" when your brain is already creeping back into work mode no matter how hard you try to keep your task list at bay.

still, on this last day of vacation i refused to think about tomorrow. i refused to worry about what happened while i was gone; the drama, the closed business, the discrepancies, the overflowing inbox and meeting requests. instead, i spent one last day with my honey doing nothing special - a trip to best buy, impromptu lunch, lazy walk and afternoon bbq.

it was perfection.
