So on Thursday I am leaving for a bunch of meetings and then glorious vacation! I won’t be back home until the 28th of July and I’m trying to focus on the positive.

I’m trying to think about how nice it will be to sleep in my own bed after so long in strange rooms.

I’m trying to think about how much the flowers will have grown while I’m away - maybe we’ll even have raspberries.

I’m trying to think about how happy the dog will be to see me again.

In reality though, I like home. I like my apartment, I like my morning routine, I like BBQ’s with friends.

I really like vacations too, sleeping in, eating in strange restaurants, getting lost in new cities. But that all seems so far off, there’s so much to do between now and then.

Boy will those long days of no obligations be great though!
