I can’t help it. The vacation countdown has begun. Five more business days, and I’m off the clock for an entire week. Is it wrong that I’m counting down the work hours? I don’t think so.

I did have a pretty sweet family vacation planned, but life switched our plans. That is okay. I’m fortunate to live in one of the most amazing cities in the world, so vacation will still be packed full of fun memories. And I’m a true introvert, so I could literally stay in my house all week long and be super refreshed.

The next five days cannot go by fast enough. I’m trying not to think about my re-entry into work from vacation and simply be present in the moments. It’s a struggle against culture, for sure, but I’m confident I can overcome. I’m really looking forward to the time away.

Really.
