death of my vacation
I can't take another week of vacation. As much as I want to get away, it
just doesn't seem practical any more. There's still a lot to be done at
work before the kids come back for the fall semester.
The worst part about that is once the semester starts, there won't be
anything for me to do again.
They'll have plenty of stuff to do, but my life will be very dull.
Anyway, back on topic. The second week of vacation (I spent the first week
driving between Philly and Wisconsin in June) isn't gonna happen. Why? 1.
Not enough cash on hand. That's what I get for buying two computers and a
Tivo in the past five months. 2. Too much to be done at work. See above.
3. No one to go with me.
It looks like Karen will go somewhere for a long weekend instead. It's her
birthday on August 10, and I almost always celebrate it with her and other
Boston types. I already have that Thursday and Friday off, so I just need
a couple more days the following week and it'll probably be a relaxing fun
time.
But no week-long vacation to the Oregon coast or the Alaska Highway for
me. Oh well, there's always next year.
