That's what I did last September before your visit and I felt a bit guilty about not being at work but it was SO worth it to get stuff done around the house. Especially when you have so much vacation time to use up! <br /><br />I'm sure we would just talk and talk and talk if we were out for coffee. We'd probably talk lots about my new job and I'd ask you for advice on working in a male dominated environment. We'd talk about running and food. We'd talk about marriage and relationships.<br /><br />We should have a skype coffee date soon to talk about all those things :) Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-44150604465196031452016-03-09T08:16:27.445-06:002016-03-09T08:16:27.445-06:00Oh the last bullet point got me, I wish we could s...Oh the last bullet point got me, I wish we could sit down for coffee because I have had a lot of similar things on my mind! Lately I've been feeling like I just think TOO much. I've always felt like an overthinker, but working from home has definitely exacerbated this. I think running helps me a ton but I'm also thinking I need to go talk to someone about the overthinking/anxiety. Also, six weeks of vacation sounds awesome! Definitely don't feel guilty for taking some time off!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793577490918023099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-73510161777753449162016-03-09T07:06:37.903-06:002016-03-09T07:06:37.903-06:00Wow - six weeks of vacation?

I'd say take those three days and do not feel guilty about it at all! It's your time to use for these exact purposes! My mom also gets around the same time off, and she takes days off all the time to just get stuff done/go to appointments/etc. I wish I could do the same!<br /><br />If we were having coffee, I would probably talk to you about anxiety, too! I feel like it's a subject so many of us can relate to nowadays.Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-80190144081413866752016-03-09T05:16:08.294-06:002016-03-09T05:16:08.294-06:00Have fun with Nora!

If we were having coffee, I would tell you that my big accomplishment for the week was installing a ceiling fan in my bedroom without electrocuting myself! However, now I am having issues with the tub not draining properly....oh the joys of home ownership! It's been raining here so it's been a great opportunity to get some things done around the house.

I am currently scraping together vacation days and overtime hours for my trip home. It's unpleasant to always be on the "zero"-end of your vacation balance :(<br /><br />I am hoping that the physical therapy will help and that you'll be able to go running again soon. <br /><br />I am also very excited for your weekend with Nora (give each other a hug from me :)).

I would tell you that I'm feeling frustrated with how I'll probably have to take work with me to Costa Rica, but that I'm nonetheless so excited to be going on this trip soon!

What a fun gift that was! Don't feel guilty about taking time off for a stay-vacation! It is good to have time to organize and get things done we usually don't have time to do during a normal work routine.<br />I am praying for your hip condition to be completely gone soon! I am sure it is painful to have those tight muscles and tendons worked on - I feel the pain!<br />I would love to visit with you about your serious subjects, so hope you get to do that when Nora is there!

I woke up thinking "it's trip week! YAY!" :) <br /><br />I have a feeling we can relate on the metamorphosis of friendships conversation. I have had similar thoughts lately, too. <br /><br />Apart from that, I would tell you that I'm kind of glad it's a rainy week here as this way I don't feel like I'm missing out on the 60+ degree temps. Yes it is still warm but I'd rather it be warm + rainy than warm + sunny when I'm in the office.

I have a 10K and 10 miler the first 2 weekends in April and as it stands now I'm not sure when I'll be able to run again. I've never dealt with an injury like this before and I'm going to the chiropractor tomorrow afternoon.<br /><br />My schedule was starting to overwhelm me last week but this week cleared some so that I have 2 nights I can fit workouts in, even though it will be upper body strength it will be something. Next week is crazy full again but I've kept the week after fairly open.<br /><br />As for friendships, I only see some of my favorites once or twice a year, if that. Life gets crazy but the most important is knowing that I can reach out at any time, and that goes both ways.Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-48811148326180298992016-03-07T05:44:52.717-06:002016-03-07T05:44:52.717-06:00Wish we really could sit down for coffee!

I've also been thinking about friendship and how important they are to me, and yet how hard it can be to squeeze them in. <br />Kinda on that same note, I'm curious about your social media break. Does it make you feel like you have more time? Sometimes I think I'd have more time for friendships if I stayed off social media, but then I'm like- that's a way I connect with some of my friends. So I don't know. I'd be curious how your experience has been so far! Obviously we've discussed all the comparison stuff!<br />I hope you and Nora have a lot of fun this weekend! It sounds like you have a good plan ready! Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.com
