My Beloved and I are technically on vacation, although we don’t fly out til Sunday afternoon. But we are definitely on vacation!
I had to postpone my hair appointment a few weeks ago and was downright unkempt when Sizzle (the pseudonym of my fantabulous stylist) saw me. She was the consummate professional and didn’t show her horror. I now have a chic short bob and feel much more summery.
The Dog Days are here, so the short cut was quite welcome. As is the insalata caprese chilling in the fridge – made with home-grown tomatoes and basil picked from the front yard! Vacation indulgence or everyday summer weeknight?
It was especially nice to be able to take this vacation after all the turmoil at Pyrite U – which continues to just disappoint and frustrate. Well, sometimes it takes getting out of a bad place before you even truly realize that you were in a bad place to begin with. I worked hard this week to tidy things up – I mean, I want them to miss me at the new job, but I am just so pleased to work somewhere that recognizes the importance of work/life and that quitting time is, in fact, quitting time.
And – for the next two weeks – it’s quitting time.
