What About Me
What About Me?

Just a short morning thought. It’s been a weird vacation. On the one hand, we’re enjoying our down time, while on the other hand we’re ready to be back home. Three weeks may be too long, but we had a reason to drive and it’s three days each way. That’s a week!

There are too many irons in the fire at the homestead that need our attention, but the desire to stay where we are vacating is very real.

While we were here, we had an unscheduled down time in the down time. Yesterday. Nothing planned. Then a stomach bug popped on the horizon. We were glad nothing was going on! We think it was a food borne issue, since we both ate the same thing. My bride got over it more quickly.

You know it’s bad when you don’t even want coffee. Hmmm. I’m brewing a cup right now. It’s 4 a.m., I’m mended and ready for a new day.

Down time, on the down time.

There’s no one to call and report sick time. It’s just us. Taking care of each other. Far from the comforts of home, but in a comforting place. Recovering just in time. No more down time, on the down time. It may be unscheduled, but I’m glad we were in a safe place.
