yeah, we didn't go

yesterday or today, but we might go tomorrow for one night in the mountains with a stop by to see mini-me. not what you'd call a dream vacation. it's nice to get away and all, but i hate rushing around in an effort to force a bit of relaxation. not that i have a bad attitude or anything.

i did buy a new book yesterday for the vacation reading. it's called in the woods and i don't remember who it's by but i do remember that she's irish and that it's billed as a "promising first novel". it's an irish detective story about some kids who get caught up in a mystery... where...? in the woods, of course. the kids are not the detectives, actual police do the detecting. the kids just get caught up in something going down... where...? in the woods! i'll let you know how it is when i start it. i was going to start it today, but i had bought a magazine also, so i read that today. i am not a fan of magazines, but every once in a while i have to purchase one and remind myself that i am not a fan. all that jumping around from topic to topic makes my head spin. in a world of short attention spans, i am an outsider.

also today i cleaned out the desk, did the filing, all like that. but i don't know where the time went, really. it wasn't one of those fulfilling days off. it was more like every time i looked at my watch another hour had gone by and i was like - hey, what's up with that! so here it is nighttime already, nearly 7pm. you what's the thing that's really throwing me off... it's the not running part. the sitting around waiting to feel better part.
