what have the last three months entailed that you weren't able to take that time?
incidentally, the last few months have been the first time in ages i *have* spent time on healing my emotional and physical wounds. my therapist magically cured my gastritis, at least for now.
I'm sleepy, my coffee is too hot to drink, my return check that I was relying on isn't going to be here for weeks due to circumstances out of my control, my cat hates my dog and I keep accidentally turning sticky keys on because I'm too tired to function.
oh. the paying gig i was kinda relying on this weekend looks like it's not coming through. nor has the check for the last one yet arrived. i feel you there.
after a year of cohabiting though, my cat and my dog have stopped their "godzilla vs. king kong in super-miniature 3-D!" wars. Now they just chase each other around the house with no regard for what they're knocking down *for fun*.
On the emotional side, death and heartbreak in an epic 1-2 punch. On the physical side, I work out to an occasionally reckless degree 6 days of the week.
I just need to get away to a positive environment for a bit and heal. Just have nowhere to go.
nam: sometimes it's good enough to just take time off work an sit around your house, or sit around a friend's house. or, with all that working, maybe you have enuogh money to just go to the country or the beach for a week or so.
Eh, sitting around my place just makes me depressed. So taking time off from work to do nothing would be extremely counter productive.

I've taken no time for the past 3 months to allow my wounds, physical and emotional, to heal. I need a vacation. I just have nowhere to go.
