In a week and two days, God willing, Melissa, Sarah, and I – and hopefully Grandma Trudy – will be heading to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to visit Hannah. We will be staying at a time share not too far from her apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Our plan is to drive part of the way after church and arrive at the beach on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n
Hannah will be working during the days, so we will have to find ways to occupy ourselves until evenings. Shouldn’t be too hard, I imagine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Usually I am not too keen on spending time sitting on a beach or by a pool, but I am so desperate right now for a vacation that vegetating sounds absolutely wonderful to me.<\/p>\n\n\n
The funny thing is that my “need” for a vacation doesn’t spring from any particular job stress and it certainly isn’t a result of job dissatisfaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
I’m just uptight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
And as I write this tonight, it is helping me put my finger on the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n
Because I have two main jobs and both offer largely flexible hours – and both could easily be fulltime – I never feel like my work is done. I don’t get large chunks of time – like an entire weekend – to turn my attention elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n
Maybe THAT is the appeal of getting out of town for a full week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
I mean, beyond spending time with my oldest daughter and the rest of my family. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
