We’re back from a week-long vacation at a condo on Amelia Island, and I learned a few things about myself:
- I care deeply about how a vacation rental unit is decorated
- Cleaning a poorly decorated space is highly unsatisfying
- I like my big, fancy mattress with crisp white sheets
- I don’t really like painted decals on my pedi – my toes felt “cluttered”
- My hairstyle is better suited for the north and less humidity – don’t even try hairspray (makes it worse)
- I prefer to eat in rather than dine out
- I need some alone time – more than 5 minutes, please
- There really isn’t anything good on TV
- I don’t view my work as work when it has momentum
- I am capable of just checking in online just two times per day – the world did not stop (whew!)
- I find it difficult to maintain a relaxed balance between crazy-busy and napping – perhaps I need more practice
- I love my family
Technically, we’re still on vacation since Monday is a holiday. After I get all the unpacking and laundry done, pay bills, clean the house and go to the grocery store, maybe I’ll be able to squeak in some quiet, productive “me” time. Or not.
