Current need: Vacation

Life is hectic, work is even busier and I feel like I haven't had a moment to stop in what feels like forever. The best solution; vacation. However, it's going to be a while before I manage to fit one of those in. We're short-staffed at work, projects are tripling, everything was needed yesterday, I should be figuring out where I want to take my career (a blog entry in itself), chores around the house are stacking up, any time off feels too planned. Maybe I just need something spontaneous... Like deciding at midnight to drive to Vegas, road tripping to San Fran or picking a point on a map and just going (bad girl road trip plan, I'll explain later). But maybe that's what I need. I think I am coming to terms with getting inadequate sleep, so I might as well make being tired worth it from something fun/exciting/different. I have been known as a planner for most of my life, which is good most of the time (hey a girl's gotta pay the bills), but I want to make the residual time less-planned. Anyone up for an adventure?

In a semi-related note.... I was taking to some coworkers today, and since we've all been a little over-worked lately he joked about how we are just dying slowly. And then went on about how I should stay with this department because I have lots of life to slowly die away. But I guess there is some solace in dying together. Haha. While I actually love my job most of the time, the last week has especially felt like it's draining the life out of me. But I guess what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger (however dependent on actually surviving) ha.

Well wrapping my rambling up, I want/need a vacation. Maybe 2 days to catch up on home life and 2 days (or so) to do something crazy!
