Time Off? What’s That?

Posted on by

This time tomorrow I’ll have landed in London and hopefully, unlike last time, I’ll have slept on the plane. I’m taking my own pillow and earplugs – if you can’t get comfy with your own pillow, there’s something seriously wrong.

It’s time off. Serious time off. A vacation even! I’m usually shaky for about a day into it, still detoxing from last-minute preparations and working to get projects off the desk. This time, my plan was to cut out of work one day early in hopes of detoxing before I get on the plane.

He’s already there. He took the big suitcase, so I’m blessed with lugging a mere carry-on. I’ve rolled my clothes, so I’m able to fit 8 shirts, 2 pairs of jeans, a dress and shoes (obviously not rolling the shoes), a pair of shorts and underthings with room for my makeup bag and hairdryer – oh, and a book. I feel like I’ve already won some kind of contest just getting that stuff in there. Perhaps there’s an award for the most items in a KMart-purchased carry-on?

While I’m gone, I’ve taken the liberty of pulling together a few posts to fill the void. Thanks for reading, and I’ll check in again in June!

    Have a great time, and make sure you take full advantage of the break. You deserve it!

    Thanks, gals. I’m soooo looking forward to landing somewhere where the pace is gloriously slower. LOVE the UK for the unhurried nature, especially Scotland (which sadly we won’t be visiting this time). But a beach, a chair and a book…. and a sweater. Perfect! :))
