On the End of a Season

Ah, Summer. We hardly knew ye.

Work's been busy lately, with a couple of biggish projects nearing their completion and all the attendant pressure that goes with that.

I was sitting at my desk last week, staring bug-eyed at a computer, and suddenly realized that I hadn't had a vacation this year, really. I mean, I did take time off for the wedding, and I went home for the reunion, but I haven't yet taken any time to just get away and lay on a beach, or something like that.

And now summer has passed, and it looks like there's not going to be much chance of that happening before the chill of Autumn sneaks under the door jamb.

In so many ways – some of them good, some of them not-so-good – this has been a pretty eventful (read: stressful) year, and I think it might be wise to schedule some down time.

I just don't know when I'm going to do it!
