Ah yes, time for some relaxation... As I mentioned before, I am officially on vacation from work! I think... no, I know that I've needed some time off for a while now, and now that I have it, I just hope that it doesn't go too fast.
One funny thing I've noticed leading up to this time off is that whenever I mentioned I would be on vacation, the first thing people would ask me is "Where are you going?" Well, that's not entirely accurate... my second cousin had asked me "Where are WE going?" But in either case, I would just say "nowhere". I guess the assumption is that if you say you're on vacation from work, taking vacation time, etc., people assume that you're going somewhere. Maybe it's just because of the common expression "going on vacation", which entails actually packing up and leaving for some place a bit more exciting than what is offered in the friendly confines of one's home. But who cares? I'm not wanting to think too hard about the intricacies of the English language, because I'm on vacation!
So, what am I planning to do during my time off? Well, for the most part, absolutely nothing! Although that's not an accurate statement, since vegging out is, technically, something. Obviously, tonight is the standard MtG at Huddle House late night, although my normal waitress is supposed to not be there. :( But from what I understand, another one of my favourites will be there, so hopefully, she will be the one to wait on us.
Over the weekend, I plan on getting some house cleaning done, so I can have the extra time to relax next week, instead of having to worry about getting the house all spotless. You see, my brother and his family is coming in from North Carolina either Tuesday or Wednesday for the Thanksgiving holiday, and my brother will be crashing at my place during his stay. So I need to get the house cleaned, but I don't want to spend all my time off working on it, when I could be putting that time to better use, namely, sleeping in.
Wednesday, a group of us (not sure of the size yet) will be going to a Wheeling Nailers hockey game. Somehow, my aunt had won tickets to the game in a radio call-in contest, but she's not sure how many she won. It's either two or four. So, she had told us if it's just the two tickets, she's going to give them to me and my brother, since she's not that big of a hockey fan. However, if it is the four tickets, she's going to go along with us, in addition to one TBD person.
But other than the Thanksgiving holiday and all that entails, that's pretty much all I've officially got planned for my vacation time. I'm sure that in my spare time, a lot of writing, video game playing, and sleeping, will be in order. But I badly needed this time off to just recouperate from the daily stresses of life.
