Well I fly back into Seattle later today. I’ve had a real blast in SF. My two hosts E and S (with their friend A) have been incredibly warm and generous letting me interrupt their lives for the past week. The last couple of days I’ve lived in San Francisco (rather than being a tourist). I’ve done some “touristy” things but to a large extent I’ve gotten to see a large part of the city I wouldn’t normally see. I wish I could take the best parts of SF back to Seattle with me.

I’ve forgotten what a vacation can feel like… I feel more relaxed, more ready to face the world again. I’ve forgotten what a carefree me feels like. It feels good and I wish I could hold on to that feeling a little longer.

I’m dreading the thought of going back into the office with its demands, its pressures. Hopefully this time off has given me the spark to get over my current slump.
