This may bore you...

Despite some meetings on Friday, this evening, and a trip to London this week, I am actually officially on vacation. I am really regretting saying yes to this London trip as it is going to eat 3+ days out of my vacation...especially since the past two days have been pretty relaxing.

I am always torn between taking a vacation someplace fun and doing lots of things during it versus the type of vacation I am on this time which involves hanging out with Alan, the cats, and friends back at home. I think that sometimes vacation, which in my mind is supposed to be relaxing, ends up taking more energy than expected so am always thankful for days off doing absolutely nothing. Don't get me wrong, I totally love vacations out exploring new places! I also just love, and with age, have come to appreciate vacations packed with absolutely nothing to do. It gives me time to decompress.

Anyway, Friday and yesterday involved lots of nothing...which was great for me but not really worthy of blog posts. Friday I had some meetings at our local office and then lunch with a friend. Friday evening I took a nap and then was up watching American television...woohoo...excitement, I know! Yesterday was even less structured...Alan returned from an all-nighter at the fire station so took a nap until about 11:30 am. We then headed out for lunch and some shopping. We were back at home by 5pm - just in time for another evening nap for me.

Last night I did learn how to make sloppy toms (sloppy joes with turkey instead of beef). Alan is teaching me how to cook some simple things since I am hopeless in the kitchen. After dinner we grabbed some frozen yogurt (something I cannot get in Singapore) and settled in to watch the Wings/Pens hockey game.

Perfection for days off!
