I’ll Take That to Go…Please…

Wow…Spring Break is over…it’s back to work…and…I must admit…I’m not ready…even though…we’ll be out for summer in only five weeks…I want more time off…now…

I know…I’m acting like a baby…I should be grateful to have the summer off…should be willing to work these last weeks…without complaining…just to get there…and…of course…I am…I do enjoy my job…

It’s just…I had so much planned for this week…and…most of it…never happened…now…I will add…that after my trip to my daughter’s house…I really only had one extra day off…and…honestly…that day…I was a bit jet lagged…it was an hour and a half flight after all…but in my defense…I did change time zones…geez…

So…why…did I ever believe…that I could get all the spring yard work done…write a novel…okay…work on the Bertha book that’s in progress…spring clean the house…go for long bike rides…shop…and…take it easy…in what amounted to a long weekend…

Beats me…

Bertha…laughs at me…no surprise there…and…says…it’s kind of how I act at a Chinese buffet…when…my eyes…are bigger…than…my plate…and…I keep piling on the food…until…it’s way too much to eat…

Hmmm…interesting…I have been known to do that…but…I’m not sure how that is supposed to make me feel any better…until…she explains…that when I get too much food at a restaurant…I usually ask for a takeout box…bringing the leftovers home…for another time…and…really…it’s the same concept…

I contemplate that for a bit…and…I really like the shift in energy…from…I didn’t get these things done…to…I’m going to save them for another day…

So…here I am…stuffing…Bertha…into a doggy bag…well…she was on my to-do list…that didn’t get done…

I wonder if I should give her the fortune cookie…
