What I Did On My Vacation
Well, even though I am a writer I also have a day job, which I like very much and am very grateful for. However, I have recently been on a two week vacation. So remembering my back to my school days I have decided to share what I did on my vacation.
First I should warn you. I do not travel on my vacations. Why? Because I hate to travel. I don't know why I just do. I do it when I have to and that's it. Please do not try to convince me to like it. Others before you have tried without success. Besides I just watched some documentary on the invasion of the bedbugs and that’s enough to make you want to never leave the house again! (Dramatic shudder)
Anyway my vacations are usually taken up by two things. Manual labor and doctor appointments. It's just easier than trying to navaigate them around work. Of course I was somewhat thwarted when those darn doctors cancelled two of them. Now I'll have to navigate around my job schedule. Curses! Foiled again!
Okay, I did have one thing planned that I was looking forward to, lunch with one of my friends, but then she had to cancel because she had to give blood (those darn doctors again it's a conspiracy!) I couldn't reschedule because I had planned the next few days to paint the railing on my front porch. Why couldn't I reschedule that? Because I hate painting, but it had to be done. If I had put it off I wouldn’t have done it, I know me.
I also did a major vacuum of the house. What that means is that I actually moved furniture out of the way. This was something I did over several days. Why not do it in one? Well there is the danger of straining something, and that would have really messed up my vacation.
Also I did manage to get a few of those doctor’s appointments completed, so maybe there is no medical conspiracy after all. Maybe.
I know I’m not making this sound like much of a vacation, but I did also do a lot of things I like. I took my Mom out to lunch to one of our favorite restaurants. I got to walk, pray and read the Bible in a relaxing manner, and I finally got the plot in my fourth book to finally cooperate, I think.
So it’s back to work on Monday where I get to explain my vacation to my co-workers, and I know what they are going to say.
That I take strange vacations, but you know, I suspect you may too.

Thank you Yvonne for stopping by. I am still getting familiar with the John3:16 network. I'll be honest, right now I'm a little confused, but I'm hoping to understand it better as I go along. Hopefully, I'll get up to speed quickly.

I believe that everyone is entitiled to like what they like and dislike what they dislike. You worked hard for your vacation and it's yours to spend just as you like. I think you did good and I'm sure the railing o the front porch looks really nice and please you everytime you go by.
Keep doing it your way.
