I just realized it last night. That I don’t actually have to meet any deadlines right now or do anything except sleep in and hang out with friends. I think this is what a vacation is, right?
Yesterday -e- and I went out to Sauvie’s Island, picked blueberries, ate a peach straight from the tree, picked flowers and then headed back into town. I had tea with Judy Straalsund, of Tapestry Theater and then went from there to the Fireside Room where I met up with a bunch of old writer buddies.
I got work done, but not in the way that feels like working. Stories that I wanted to edit, got edited. It was nice and relaxing.
In the evening, we headed over to the Barley Mill and it was lovely to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Karen, Joyce, Carol, Aimee, Kai and Evan .
Today consists of hanging out with more friends.

That sounds like a very good definition of a vacation, as far as I’m concerned 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful time!
It was lovely.
Yay to your unexpected leisure time.
Geez, you know Judy too? We took Tim True’s Shakespeare scene study class last spring and worked on a scene from Henry VI, part 2 together.
