Vacation Check-In

As a self-acknowledged Sabbath-challenged individual, and in hopes of encouraging any sisters and brothers who might also be relaxation-impaired, I’m checking in.  It seems clear that reading a work-related book can in fact be energizing and gardening can be work. It depends.

Vacation Fails:

• Read The Triple-Soy Decaf-Latte Era: How Business and Organization are Fundamentally Transforming by Alpesh Bhatt (Actually I loved this book like candy.  And I read it outside on a beach towel.)
• Ran two different Home Depot Errands.  (But now our toilet seat has no crack in it.  This beats a summer drink with a little umbrella if you ask me.)
• Shopped for clothes.  Hate. This. So. Much.

Vacation Successes:

• Saw a movie in an actual movie theatre.
• Got a pedicure.
• Made teriyaki turkey burgers involving more than ten ingredients. (Actually this felt like work but they were delicious.)

True confessions: spending some of this vacation at a conference.
