Off to a good start
Jul. 20th, 2009 07:47 pmSo far, my Birthday Vacation Extravaganza is turning out well on all counts. My weekend was full of nerds, but they're my kind of people, so it was good. Also, managed to clean the dust off of most of the house, so I can appreciate my fixed walls and ceiling without wheezing. Stayed up late last night, and slept in this morning - and did *not*, for the first time in a while, dream about work. Hooray!
Today, slept in, then got up and mowed - okay, it doesn't sound fun, but it needed to be done, and now the lawn looks nice. Also herbicided another section of the "garden", so that should be cleared out soon. One of the tomato plants has a flower on it! I think it's too late in the season to expect an actual tomato, but it's a good sign. Then I went to the dentist. Yes, I really know how to have a vacation. It wasn't too bad, though, and there's only three...maybe four...appointments left! Tonight, I plan to do such exciting things like, do laundry, read the Sunday NYT, and watch Torchwood.
Also, I have to pack, for my exciting vacation! It's only Rehoboth Beach for a couple of days, but I am looking forward to it. On the way, I'll stopping off to see my mom, having lunch and picking up a birthday gift (which, given that she works in a vintage furniture place, *may* be vintage furniture, which is awesome). On the way back, I may partake in the fabulous Outlet Shopping I am told is nearby. In between those two things, I will go to the beach, sit around and read, and generally do a whole lot of nothing. Doesn't it sound good? Mmmmm, solitude.
And when I come back, I still have a few days left before work. This vacation thing is awesome; I should do it more often!
