I am officially on my break!

[mistressofmuses]

Don't have to be back at work until next Wednesday. Nine whole days!

Still need to really figure out The Plan.

Tomorrow is supposed to be our hottest day yet - maybe near 100. We also have an appointment we have to go to (which I'll ask for good vibes for. It's not health related or anything, but it's a thing that could potentially be really helpful for us!)
We might try to take the dogs to one of the county parks that has a nice shallow creek area they can wade in without too much of a walk to get to.

We've got a couple ideas about what we'd like to do - Leadville, which has lots of interesting rocks; florissant fossil beds national monument... - but haven't sorted out an exact plan on what days might work. Might hit the gardens and/or butterfly pavilion again, since we can do so very cheaply, and Taylor wants to go with. Also want to get together with them for a night to hang out. Plus there are so many more state parks!

I really want to make sure we don't waste the time off, while also not being stuck scheduled to death. It's a fine balance.

I managed not to check out on the last two workdays, and it actually hasn't sunk in that I have more than a whole week off... I'm excited.

I'm very excited for a break.

And thank you! Appointment was nudged to tomorrow, but I've got my fingers crossed.

Yay!!!

Definitely hydrate and take extra water if you go out today! Sending good thoughts for the appointment.

I hear you on the fine balance! Good luck with planning.

Yes - we brought lots of powerade and stayed in the shade as much as we could! It was warm, but we (probably wisely) didn't do anything too physical.

And thank you for the good thoughts - the appointment was nudged to tomorrow, but hopefully it goes well.

Definitely hoping for a mix of relaxing and doing things.

Thank you! The appointment was moved to tomorrow, but I've got my fingers crossed it ultimately leads to good news.

And thank you! I'm excited to have a string of days to do stuff!

Sending you all the good vibes and amazing luck for your appointment! I'm so happy you're getting a well-deserved break.

Thank you! The appointment really just ended up yielding paperwork for now, but hopefully it'll be a help in the end.

And I am *so* glad to have a break.
