I’m in the middle of a vacation week. I’m not really doing anything with it, other than taking care of some miscellaneous stuff and just trying to relax. This is my first vacation this year, and also really my first time taking a full calendar week vacation in… quite some time. I took a full week off last year, but that was when I got COVID. And the last few years before that, I’d only really taken long weekends, essentially.
So this is kind of a nice break. Of course, I scheduled some car stuff on Monday, and some dental work for Friday, so Tuesday through Thursday are really my only 100% free days. Today is Wednesday, and I had some ideas in my head about maybe going over to Duke Farms for a walk. But, when I got out of bed, I discovered that we had no water. And it’s a town-wide thing, due to a water main break on Rt 206, near Duke Farms. So they’ve closed for the day. And I also had some ideas in my head about making myself a fancy breakfast, but I didn’t want to do that without running water, so I had a bowl of Cheerios instead, with some instant coffee made with bottled water.
So now I’m not sure what I should do with myself today. I have a few little chores I could do. And maybe I could find a park that’s in the other direction from 206 to go for a walk. Or I could just sit around and continue reading Towers of Midnight. Yeah, I think I’m probably going to do that.
