Quiet in Day to Day

For the first time in a long time, it’s the evening, and it’s completely quiet. Like the middle of the night quiet. I feel like time stopped. I could live with this. I know it won’t last long. This is very heavenly to me, right now. My own thoughts started to come to a stop, too.

I really could live with this kind of quiet for the rest of my life.

And my vacation can’t come fast enough. I’m so burnt out on everything to do with it right now. I need a break. I will come back without this pressure in my head, and start over again. I have 3 weeks a year for the next 3 years. Then it gets bumped up to 4. So many years I didn’t even get paid vacation for even one week. But 3 weeks still doesn’t feel enough to keep me from wanting to run away.

It’s 3 weeks until vacation time. I will see the friend I haven’t seen in years. I’ll be away from this godforsaken area. And of course, not going in to work helps.

Until then, I must just enjoy my nights off.
