Vacations

I think I really need one. It seems like I've been tired and disjointed for weeks now. It's not quite at the stage where I can't drag myself into work every day, but it's getting harder and harder to focus. Everyone I know is either away, going away, or moving away, and yet, here I remain. My friend tells me I need to go on vacations now, because I won't enjoy it as much later. Problem is, I waited too long, and now I'm out of spare weeks. This chamber group I'm playing in has two more rehearsals until the concert in two weeks. Then, the next day is the audition I've been working towards for the last 6 months or so. The Monday after that, rehearsals in Columbia start up, then it's Labor Day. If I'm going anywhere, it'll have to be next week, or the last full week in August.

I want to go visit a few people in Pittsburgh, but I have a moving away party this weekend for one of the people going there. My brother is visiting people there this weekend, too, but I just don't think all the logistics would work out. Maybe I'll talk to my mom about going home this weekend.

I want to go to Chicago, too, but I haven't talked to my "med student" friend (even though she's no longer a student) in a few weeks, so I have no idea what her schedule is. That's another thing, it seems like no one even wants to talk to me anymore.

That's all; I seem to be out of stuff to say.

I don't know if you do this, but I can always find reasons why every week "just won't work". There's always something that needs to be attended to, and before I know it, I haven't had any time off.

Do you think going home for the weekend will help you recharge? Will that be enough?

I seriously doubt it will be enough, but I feel like I have to go somewhere and do something soon.
