I'm back

[emlykate]

I took a bit of a break for LJ-land last week, and had 6 pages of friends entries to catch up on this morning when I finally came back to the real world. To make a long story short, last week was ucky, and I was grouchy, and it's likely better not posted about as it would only be one big ugly rant. Then, I got to run away, and I went to Myrtle Beach to vacation with the family. I left Saturday morning (the 13th), drove the whole way (just under 11 hours) and stayed until Wednesday afternoon (the 17th). I was figuring it out, it's my first "real" (as in not a trip home to visit the family) vacation in 7 years. I was a lazy bum, spent a lot of time at the beach or the pool, ate too much and spent time with my family that was not overshadowed by some huge family event that we were all partaking in. Now, I'm sunburned, have shot the diet to hell and back, and am a bit deeper into financial hell. On the plus side, I'm relaxed, I'm looking forward to going back to work, and I'm excited to get back into the swing of things. That's what vacations are supposed to do.
