Soul, Blues, Beer And Hiding

2008-10-12 - 1:49 a.m.

Once I stopped trying to force myself to be productive, I had a good day. I know it is crunch time on this mobilization, but there isn't a whole lot left I can do. Monday and maybe tomorrow will be full of last-minute preparations, but today was a day for Ian and I to breathe a little bit. We still worked most of the day, but we actually didn't do a whole lot. Once we stopped forcing the issue, we just walked around some. We ate out for lunch and dinner and drank quite a few beers watching the baseball game tonight. I don't have a whole lot else to say about it. I'm glad things are wrapping up. I'm looking forward to being home, but am also well aware that this kind of break has put some things mostly out of my mind, and I know that they will come crashing back when I return. Also, the work I'm doing here is a lot more interesting than the work I'll be asked to do back at the office. I'm in a weird place. I want a steady, stable life so badly. But I've become more and more dependent on running away from the only routine I have.
