I didn't win the lottery so...

...I'm back at work after a week-long vacation. A vacation, by the way, that I spent running the kind of errands I can't do the other weeks of the year: going to the doctor, shopping for appliances, visiting accountants etc. etc.
In a way, I'm happy to return to the routine of the 9 to 5, but I'll miss the luxury of taking my time, of not rushing, of not worrying about picking up or dropping off children in their activities.
