Jonesing for a vacay...

This week...ugh...what can I say about this week? It started with me not feeling well and is ending with me being pressed by an enormous amount of work related stress. Yesterday, I thought my head was going to explode.

I realize that, in life, we cannot control what happens 24/7. What we can control is our reaction to it. Yesterday, I swear, the planets seemed to have aligned against me but I held it together and managed to get through the day without actually acting on my homicidal thoughts. I was brain dead by the end of it but...hopeful that today would be better.

What's fueling these feelings of overwhelming fright or flight (which I have thus far been successful in keeping at bay) is the fact that I am jonesing for a vacation in a major way. I want to get on a plane, take off for at least three weeks, and fly to sunny Karlstad to see my father in law and hang out in the beautiful Swedish landscape. I want it bad and I want it now.

Now, I know that this will happen and, probably, within the next few months but right at this moment those few months seem like eons. I am impatient and hate waiting. I also hate having to deal with all this day to day idiocy and, trust me, yesterday idiocy was running rampant here.

I want my vacay. I want it now. I want my time off, with pay, on a plane, in Sweden, in the sun, and happiness and joy, joy, joy. And I don't want to be here right now!!
