I have had a few days to relax and recharge my batteries a little. Vacation is necessary, not a luxury, and it brings so much value to every day you are out of your routine, it can't be measured.

I was running out of steam for about a month before my vacation, and the last week before my vacation was so busy and spent working on catching myself up before leaving the office. People may have thought I was crazy, but I wasn't, just in need of some time off!

When you go through your daily routine, week after week, life just seems stressful. It's hard to escape it when you are doing the same thing day in and day out. Taking some time off even just an afternoon or one day, can help bring your view of life back to a positive one.

I only have about 15 hours left of my time off... so I better go enjoy it! I still have podcasts to listen to and TV shows that I have not gotten to see yet!
