Vacation Buzz Update
As of this morning, we have been back from Kauai for as long as the time we were there; two weeks. So how are we doing?
Suzanne has a persistent cough which she had prior to the trip, during the trip, and now after the trip. It seems to have taken a turn for the worse, so she visited the doctor on Friday. This weekend she’ll be taking lots of drugs to kill it off. Given the length of time this has lingered, the doctor has prescribed some serious stuff. So her vacation buzz has to be pretty low right now.
Me, well I managed to keep stress-free this week even though one of my buddies at work is out on vacation (in Hawaii!). Trails that used to lead to his desk were now leading to mine. But I managed to fight off the discontinuity of my work life. At the end of the week, I was working on a massive change which involved almost 100 of our source files. So I guess I’m thinking fairly clearly. So my vacation buzz is not dipping as dramatically as Suzanne’s.
I chose the accompanying picture because I had forgotten to post it to Flickr. You’ll note in the bottom right that there is a finger intruding into the picture. We’re sad to say that almost every picture not taken by us on the hiking trip has a finger or a camera strap in it. I’m not real adept at magically fixing these, so we’ll have to live with them until I figure something out.
Let’s see, only sixty more weeks (or so) until our next long vacation. Now that’s a vacation buzz-kill.
