Welcome back to the real world, welcome back to life. After 10 days of unplugged, unconnected detachment from the world of work and routines, from news and other online distractions, a return to reality was inevitable. A Disney family vacation can certainly be enjoyable (and it was), but one thing it is not is restful. But a good time was indeed had by all. And it was good to get away from the normal stresses of life. But now it is back to the grind. Back to incessant email traffic, and demands upon my time and schedule. Back to the early morning get-ready-for-school rush, followed by the clean-the-bucket-adventure-because-the-kid-who-rode-all-sorts-of-crazy-rides-at-Disney-without-trouble-gets-car-sick-on-the-way-to-school-his-first-day-back, and the fill-in-for-your-boss-in-a-meeting-after-being-out-of-the-loop-for-10-days demand. I've been back at work for 4 hours and I already want to go back home and take a nap/read a book.
So, yes, reality can be icky. But I'll do what I can to make the best of it, and reorient my attitude regarding the mundane. It may take a little bit to get back into a regular writing habit, but once I catch up on some work, hopefully I'll be able to post more regularly.
