take a break from 43things

a getaway to somewhere fun…

Her parents and sisters family live there…a place to stay and the use of one of their cars…so much to do, so little time…

Neither of us like to throw our money away gamble much…Vegas is the King of places to watch people though…Fremont Street downtown is one very good place to go…a small example of the diversions to see

Hours I’m leaving for Sin City…for every action there is an equal reaction they say…

December 26th to very late December 30th…

No computer or internet…

But Las Vegas with a side trip to Tucson Az.

Plants and adventure awaits…

stayed away…

I miss you guys. Reading the feeds periodically. Wishing I could tarry and post and vent and interact more.

Still…
and miles to go before I sleep,
and miles to go before I sleep.

Like, tonight. :-(

I was away from 43T most of the weekend, which was hard, and made me realize it’s my main pleasure and hook into the Internet, which keeps me stuck to my computer, which in turn keeps me from doing all kinds of stuff that I whine about not having time to do.

Another way to put is that despite (because of?) the social outlet and a way to connect with people I love all over the world, it’s sort of like a mind-numbing drug that distracts me from the necessary things in my immediate world that are hard, and on which I don’t really want to focus.

My boss said she would support me in being away from the computer/internet a few mornings a week so I can get through writing tasks. I think this goal will help that approach to work.

I’ll miss keeping up with you all, so if anyone needs me, PM me and I’ll be there!

Ciao for now…

this is what i’ve accomplished:
1. i joined linkup… now to actually “do” something off of it will take planning… but small steps, small steps

2. i cooked a huge batch of roast veggies (beet, butternut squash, onion, garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, tomatoes)

3. i made a failed batch of tiramisu (too much hubris; didn’t bother to follow the recipe; it became too runny; but i froze it; and now it looks funny but tastes good.

4. Did a huge grocery shop

5. finally returned that darn can of primer, from back when i was contemplating painting my room. Blessings upon the kind hardware store guy who took it back and returned my cash!!!!!! I could have kissed him. As it is, he has a loyal customer who will go out of her way to give him business.

for at least a couple of days. i might come on, just to see my goals, but damn. i have spent way too much time cheering and reading rather than getting out there and doing.

see you soon!

A few days turned into a few weeks, but I’m back anyway.

Oh, and I cut my hair again.

And I think it would be too much to say that I was missed… but oh well, I’m back anyway.

and yes I’m ok, I just need time.

Love you guys!
