So I have been working since 2004 pretty non stop in the same job. At one point in my life I would take jobs that were temporary and then I might have a three month break in-between. But after 14 years... I find that every year I fall behind a little in things. You know how it is.. you only have time to do 6 of the 10 things you wanted to do on the weekend.. until after 14 years.. you have about 9 months worth of things you need to do.

So I decided to take a week long vacation.

The truth is I haven't taken one since before 2004. Sure I have taken a day here or there but not an entire week.

My plans are simply to take that week and catch up on my life leisurely. But every single person that inquires as to what I am doing seems to think this is weird and I should be "going" someplace. Going someplace? Right... add on another 18 things for me to do.

How do other people do it? I don't get it. I simply cannot get all my errands done on the weekend. But everyone else seems to be perfectly content with it.
