A well deserved vacation

I'm on vacation this week. This is the first vacation I've had in quite a few years, and it's been great. I've been working on the house during my downtime, doing some painting and other general work that I've been wanting to get taken care of since we moved in on March 3rd.

So, why has it been so long since my last vacation? Well, as most people are aware, it's been quite a few years since I worked at the TV station. My last vacation was taken during my tenure there. The other jobs that I've had in between now and then haven't lasted long enough to allow me to save up any time to actually take off. Not to mention that one of the places I worked drove me extremely hard, having put in a significant amount of time during my stay there. Even if I had stayed, I doubt I would've ever have gotten a real vacation at any point in time.

The ties that bind, I guess...

So, back to my current vacation. This week, I've been painting and doing some organization to the house. Thus far, I have gotten the living room painted, in addition to the main dividing wall between the living room and dining room. I still have the dining room and kitchen to go, but I don't know if I'm going to have it all done before my vacation is up.

I'm going to try to take some time to myself at some point during this week.

Well, that's all I have for now.
