Last Day of Summer Vacation

I woke up early to the cat licking my head, the sun shining through the windows, and the sound of traffic outside. I actually turned off the air conditioning and opened the windows last night, and it was nice to have fresh air. I'm off to the gym, then back here to get some stuff done, and then off to work tonight, and hopefully to the Happy Hour late this evening.

You can forget about my earlier whines about being so ready to get back to school. Yeah, it'll be nice to be paid again, but the summer slipped by with me only accomplishing about half of what I set out to do. The week in NC found me enjoying summer vacation a great deal, and a good reminder that a well-planned break is much better than an on-the-seat-of-you-pants vacation. I wish I had engaged in more of them over the last few years, including this summer. I will enjoy getting back to a regular schedule, but can't help to think that I could have done a little better this summer.
