Today, it’s back to work. I know I’ll be flooded with emails, and I have a few things to catch up on. It will be a busy day. In fact, I expect it to be a busy week. I will only be in the office three days before I go to New York City for work on Thursday and Friday. Our next traveling show will be in New York in June, and we are going down to assess the exhibit space. While I’d rather stay on vacation, I’m actually looking forward to a busy and exciting week ahead.

Because I had to work Saturday, I am off today. Usually we take a day off before we work on the Saturday, but last week was so busy, I didn’t have a day I could take off. Therefore, I am off today. I’ve got a lot to do around my apartment, so it will be a busy day. I have a lot to do because I am leaving this Sunday going to Alabama for a week. I knew I had to take some time off in April and again in May because I had some leave time I either had to take or I’d lose it. So for April, I am going home, and in May, I’m taking a trip to Texas to see my best friend. Neither will be an actual vacation for pure pleasure, though I know I will find pleasure in visiting both my family and my best friend. I had originally planned to stay in Vermont for my week in April, but my mother wanted me to come home, so I decided I’d fly to Alabama.

I’ll be open and honest about this. I did a lot of writing and revising yesterday at work, and when it came time to write a blog post, I was tired of writing. I promise there will be a more substantial blog post tomorrow, but today is just slim pickings.

I’ll be alone at work today. Everyone else has the day off. It won’t be too bad. I can get some stuff done that I’ve been wanting to get done without any interruptions. Sometimes it’s nice to be there by myself. I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s schedule or have someone interrupt me from my own work. It should just be a quiet day.
