I am the only person that gets SO excited for a holiday (and frankly needs the "rest" more than ever), but then at the exact same time almost wishes the week wouldn't come?  This may not make sense...I know; however, when I leave work (or miss it) for even a day, then that means that the following day, is so extremely hectic.  In fact, it's apparent to me the "following" day that it may not have been worth it to take that "sick day" after all.  Hmm. 

So, what am I trying to say?  I am very excited for Thanksgiving.  I am excited to see my family and eat good food. I am even more excited to sleep in and do absolutely nothing, except of course slave over one of the best meals of the year.  Even more than that one of the best "leftover" meals of the year. BUT, I am not excited for the week following Thanksgiving.  Oh, I am so not excited for it, that I dare say I would almost give up next week... However, of course I'm a good American (well sometimes -- when I don't yern to be French) and I know that I'll thoroughly enjoy Thanksgiving. 

Ultimately, I need not worry about the beginning of December, but as I am arranging my life tonight (as to not come into work next week), I realize that it's quite stressful...All I can do is ignore everything and just walk away...Turn everything off (except my computor -- God forbid my Treo didn't sync for me!!), and not look back until I return home.  Though this in theory sounds like it should work, and actually may in some situations, I am not in a normal situation.  I will be facing, once again, this place tomorrow for music practice and then on Sunday (as yes, I work for a church).  However, I will not be scheduling people, and doing "admin" stuff...so, I can pretend that I won't be "seeing" this place until I return from vacation. 

It's what I must do!  Ok.  Here goes nothing.  I'll pretend that all is in order...
