not the usual kind i used to take - multi-day stays by the beach, although i could use some of that too. more of multi-day of no work and just puttering about in my place, slowly flowing from one unhurried activity to the next like maple syrup. sleeping for long hours and eating at odd hours. experimenting with recipes and enjoying some time-tested ones. watching movies and reading the last few unread books in my library. buying new books and selling old ones i would never read again. cleaning up my hard drives and making sense of my data disks. planning very carefully for the fish business with L and V. working out more often. re-acquainting myself with the malls.
spending lots of time with jacob.
i will muster up the courage to request for leaves next week. it's just a teensy bit awkward these days because, well, it's my old-new boss, and work has been really unbelievably loaded lately. but i need this and i want this.
the situation at work regarding the young ones in the team has not yet been fully resolved. but it has been teaching me a lot of things about myself and my work and how i want to live my day-to-day life. in a certain way it has been significantly instrumental in motivating me to pursue a different way of working, and has driven me to enough frustration to gather up that courage to spin away...
i'm making a new blog, by the way. i believe my cooking self feels confident enough to do its own spinning off. please check out the bubbling little cauldron soon.
