Back from vacation...
...and not quite ready to work.
I've been off for two weeks and now am back in the saddle. Must admit that I was looking forward to the routine of everybody being where they're supposed to be without me having to worry about three meals a day. But I didn't miss the rush-rush-rush of daily life, that relentless push-pull of a hectic schedule.
I've just spent an hour answering email and have barely made a dent.
After almost 30 years of taking vacations from work, I've come to the conclusion that the hardest part is leaving -- getting everything in order -- and returning -- when the tsunami of catch-up awaits.

Yes, vacation is never really vacation - it's often just a means of holding back the inevitable tide of work that awaits!
Found you through James Burnett, btw.
I agree.
Vacations are great -- we can disconnect from the routines and schedules. It is good for the soul.
However, it really is hard to get back to the grind -- specially, when we have had a good time off.
Now, we look forward to our next time off -- it looks like this coming weekend is a 3-day weekend!! Not too soon, either.
Happy New Year!
