August off

June and July were crazy. Two solid months of Comprehensive Greek. Like I said; crazy. I was planning on taking a class in August but Rebecca suggested I take a break. As she was talking I figured she meant a break from class but I will need to get a job. No. When she said a break she meant just that. Time off to do nothing but refuel the soul. Did I mention my wife rules?

So as of July 26 at 3:15pm I have been on vacation. I will remain on this vacation until September 4.

It's kinda weird. I'm the kind of person who cannot sit still. I must be doing something or I'll start feeling worthless. So I have done my best to fill my time with good stuff. Not just stuff, but the good kind.

I've gone fishing, played tennis, did a week in GA to see family and friends (I need a vacation from that!), gone to the dentist and doctor's office for check-ups, cleaned, and read books that I chose instead ones that were chosen for me. I'm not sure why I need to stay busy, but I do know that my idol mind is the devil's playground. So filling my time with good stuff in turn fills my soul with good stuff and good stuff keeps the bad stuff away.

I have two weeks to go before my August off is complete. I fully understand the abnormality of a thirty four year old having a month off from work responsibilities - my brother made sure to insert his playful jabs of envy.

Time off is good, but the routine, for me, is also good. All in all it's been enjoyable. I recommend everyone taking some time off. I guess I have nothing more to say than that.
