Which of course involved unloading the suitcases and duffel bags and putting the clothes and towels away, washing the linens, and going around the house and plugging everything back in. I had considered perhaps doing some yard work since the yard hasn’t been touched for over a week but it’s been raining and that’s my excuse not to.

My neighbor took care of my cat while I was away. I paid him in beer which he greatly appreciated, and at some point I’ll probably make him a thank you card from the cat as well.

Tomorrow it’s back to work.

You don’t get to hear about the vacation itself. It was not dull.

The absolute misery I felt returning to work after a vacation is one of the reasons I stopped taking vacations. I just took the money.

    Sounds like you did but recommendation to everyone else, take an extra day off work after vacation. You need it to unload and care for the house.
