So maybe it was more like, really really really great.

I've been in the grind for so long that I'd sort of forgotten what I was missing. I knew I was burned out, but was kind of numb to it. Now it's really hitting me, it's not nearly as much fun being home! There's work, and bills, and chores, and stress and bedtimes. I want to be on vacation again.

That is all.

Yep it's so true! I travel a couple of times a year just to keep myself sane. I have a difficult and stressful job and it's the only way I can keep myself balanced. Coming back is always hard - I took a 15 day trip once and was depressed for three weeks after. So now I go for 7-10 days max. LOL I'm glad you got some R&R!
