I know, the title alone is provocative and insane, but I do. I didn’t realize how much I despised it until I came back.
I went to see my sister and niece in Orlando. Visiting them is like my own personal Disney World. We laugh all day and then we laugh some more. It was a three day trip over the weekend that gave me a chance to unwind without my family. A Daddy vacation. I had a great time until my trip home. The train was three hours late, so instead of arriving in South Florida at 5:39pm, I arrived at 8:45pm; tired, hungry and a little pissed off, but mostly tired.
The next day, I was out of it. The exhaustion lasted through the weekend. I pretty much needed a vacation from the actual vacation. And did I do any writing? Not a letter, word, sentence or paragraph. This post is the first thing I’ve written since last Thursday.
I’m not saying this because of the experience with the train, but it’s always like this. Every time I take time off, I come back dazed and confused about what to do next. If I had finished projects before leaving, I could relax and ease into another one refreshed. But I didn’t. Is it procrastination? Well, just a little. I know it’s something I have to work on.
Maybe I need a vacation to work on that.

I can relate to this one! I’m always worn out after vacation, and although I always enjoy it, i never accomplish what I hoped to (like the writing). Glad you enjoyed lots of smiles while you were there though!

LOL …. I don’t hate them but I can relate to the feeling of coming back to fullspeed ahead .

Ha,ha! I tend to over-do-it on vacation. I like my vacations to be very active (hikes, kayaking, cave-tubing…). Of course by the end I’m completely wiped out and in no shape to go back to work. I’ve learned to schedule a couple of rest days after I return from vacation. I give myself at least two days to rest before I go back to work. It is difficult to get back to reality, but I tend to hate work at that time not vacation. 🙂

I usually do that too, but I didn’t have the time so I paid for it.

It’s hard to get back into the swing of things after a vacation! I’m glad you had a good trip, though, while it was happening.

I always have fun there, but trying to get back to work and writing is crazy.

The worst part of vacation is vacation. I hate merging back into reality, and I hate the stress of coming back as well.
