You know what? Being on vacation is just weird.
Example?
I just slept until 8:00am. WhatWhatWhat???
I did not set my alarm for 5:00am, or 5:30am, or even a super late 6:00am. No, I set it for 8:00am! After that, amazingly, I didn’t still wake up at 5:00! Well, I did, but then I just rolled over and went back to sleep.
Like I said, being on vacation is just weird. Weird, I tells ya!

How did you spend your first couple of hours on vacation?
After getting very little sleep last night, shortly after checking into the Disney World Resort I took a 90 minute nap…
…and somehow feel more exhausted than I did before.
It’s good to be traveling.
I’m ready, you ready Mr Airplane?
It is official… I am on vacation.
Oh glorious glory, I am on vacation.
Six business days without having to go to work and do business. Ecstasy at its finest.
In less then 48 hours I will be in Florida where it is not 24 degrees out. It is just too amazing to be real. Warmth in January. Pretty please.
It is about 7:30am. My work day starts at 9:00am. My vacation kicks off 8.5 hours later at 5:30pm.
It is going to be a long day. A really… really… long… day.
After that? I have to pack. I have to make a stash of protein bars to get me through the first couple of days in Florida. I have to figure out the camera situation… charge up the Z5 and put on the 40mm lens, fill up a bag with rolls of film, load a roll into Dad’s Pentax K1000. I’ve decided that Dad’s camera is coming with me this time. Normally I would take my Nikon FG-20, but this time I think I want to take the camera that hurled me down the film rabbit hole a few years ago. Yeah. I am weird.
Anyway. Yesterday I bitched about how the Bruins suck now. Last night they beat Ottawa and jumped three places in the standings. Not only are they back in a playoff spot, but they above the wild card spots and back into third in the division. What a world, huh? We’ll see how long this lasts. The standings are pretty tight these days.
Okay. Time to get the ball rolling on this Friday. Vacation is less than 10 hours away.
Yup. It’s time. What time? Too-close-to-vacation-to-concentrate-on-anything-else time.
One work day left. At 5:30pm tomorrow (about 21 hours from now) I will punch out of work and be on vacation for more than a week. I’m on PTO all of next week and the following Monday. Six business days.
I just have to get through that one final work day and then I will be out out out and I can’t wait. Also, I can’t focus on anything else. The flight to Florida is Sunday before dawn. At this moment in time, on Thursday night, I am literally watching Disney travel videos on YouTube. This one is about finding hidden perks when staying at the resorts.
Let’s go now. I mean, the hell with responsibilities, let’s just leave now!
One week from today we will be in Disney World again.
Five work days to go…
Six days until we’re on vacation…
Seven days until we’re in Florida.
Oh yeah, and it’s snowing out and we could get eight inches of the shit tonight. Yippee. It’s gonna be a loooong week.
It is just about 2:30pm on Friday January 17th. One week from today I will be post-lunch on the last work day before vacation. How am I going to focus on the real world over the intervening week? The Vacation is becoming an all consuming obsession. Partly because I really want to go, but also because it stops me from stressing about the end of American society on Monday next week.
The first full day of vacation is eight days away. The Florida/Disney World return is nine days away. I can’t wait to go. I can do without the upcoming shit hitting the fan on Monday the 20th though.
It is Monday again. Blah.
I have two full work weeks (counting today) left before we go on vacation. Today is the start of what I expect will be a long two weeks. It’s weird how we just got through the holidays and their frequent days off, and yet after just one full week back at work I am already stressing out and needing to go away again. Does this mean I’m kinda spoiled rotten?
Yes. Yes it does.
Here’s a moody looking cat to lighten the moody:
Happy Monday, everyone. Blah, blah.
