Thankfully, this was along the lines of how I wanted to spend my week off, so it worked out. (Yes, we went on walks, too.)After the madness at work over the past couple of months, our benevolent bosses decided to close the office for a week, to allow an exhausted staff some much needed R&R. Extremely nice of them, don't you think? (A tear or two may or may not have been shed when we first heard the news.) All I wanted to do was a whole lot of nothing! I didn't want to go on a trip; I didn't want to schedule activities, no. I wanted to rest! In spite of myself, I managed to straighten up the house a little, cook some, meet a couple of friends for lunch, organize my stash, make great progress on Carmelita, and even sew! Yes, you heard me! I did document some of my vacationeering activities, don't worry. I'll post more about them when I'm fully re-acclimated. Re-entry, you know. Gotta take it slow. First thing's first- like getting used to waking up to a 5:15am alarm again. *yawn*
For now I just want to report that I had a splendid time hanging out at home (until last Friday when it turned miserably hot (understatement of the year). Now, it's back to work (and, mercifully, air-conditioned space- at least during the day), back to Blogland, back to "normal" life.

I'm glad to hear that your time off was restful. 5:15 a.m.? Ouch!
That's the life!
Indeed - I hear you have been having quite the heat wave down there. Your vacation sounds wonderful. Just the way it should be. Life as a dog, sans leash. Can't wait for pictures of Carmelita.
A restful vacation - now that sounds nice! :)
What a nice little vacation -- I'm glad you were able to enjoy the slow life for a bit!
Kickin' back with the critter - sounds like the perfect vacation to me! Esp. after all the craziness you've had lately. Glad you were able to relax a bit as we head into autumn.
Hey, your furbaby has the right idea! I'd love to spend a day dozing. I'm glad you are getting a rest.
Glad you got aome much-deserved time off before the heat hit! I had never been so happy to go into the office :)
Every dog I know is a complete bump on a log during the day, while the parents are at work. Dakota is probably all the more so when the weather is so very hot. *uhgh*
I love it when I have the chance to just be a complete bum. I wouldn't do it all the time I have off, but when life is really stressful, it's such a delight to be able to not do ANYTHING.
Can't wait to see your sewing pictures :)
