I Need A Vacation

this summer is almost over and today while talking to my parents, it occurred to me that j and i haven't had a "real" vacation in over a year.  and i know, "boo-hoo fucking hoo," some of you are thinking.  "we haven't had a vacation in 5 years ..."  or whatever.

yeah, well, bite me.

i've gone without a vacation years at a time, but this summer, not going away for even a few days, is really weighing on my psyche.  i've taken a few days off here and there, but somehow staying at home, and cleaning the house, or thinking about cleaning the house, just hasn't cut it.  because i'm still me.  and i still live in a house half one-third covered in tyvek (yep!  j's made progress on the house!).  and i still have to think about what to make for dinner, etc.  and i still have to do the dishes, and clean the litter box, etc.

thing is, j can't get any time off this summer and going away by myself just doesn't sound like fun.  so i'm kind of at an impasse.  oh well.  *sigh*
