I got to the jul 2 newsletter late, ironically because of a vacation! My struggle always seems to be the part about not being at home. I obsess over what might potentially be going wrong and what disaster we might come home to. I sleep poorly any place else but my own bed, so I just get more tired the longer the trip. Our most recent trip was to see family, which is not exactly a relaxing vacation most times, and I had to get on a five-hour virtual retreat for work as we were driving back. Without the transition time from vacation mode to work mode, the last 30 minutes of the drive undid any good that came from time away.
I confess a bit of jealousy towards those who can unplug more easily than I can, though I don’t know if that’s a normie/preshie difference, or just my own general weirdness.
My husband and I both travel to create our night photography, and then travel to show our work in art festivals. So we take "bizcations" – a mixture of half 'n half work and play. The last time we took a true vacation was our honeymoon along the Cali coast in 2015. I shudder to think how I'd handle a REAL vacation together. Would I be able to not plan all the things? To just sit back and relax? .... I wouldn't mind the experiment, heh!
