b was off from his job for my entire Fall Break. I spent Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday alternating between doing some catch-up work and playing with him. Sunday evening we packed up Pupzilla and went camping. It rained on us for most of Monday but we didn't care. We lounged around the campsite eating yummy meals and reading trashy novels. Well I read trashy novels, b read Bear Attacks:Their Causes and Avoidance.
Pupzilla spent most of the trip inside the tent snuggled in her sleeping bag. She just doesn't understand our love of camping.
Tuesday morning we packed up early, dropped Pupzilla off to doze on her couch, and headed to our favorite breakfast place. By Tuesday afternoon I was back at home, in front of my computer, working on a paper.
It was the right combination of work and relaxation and it came at exactly the right time. I taught all my classes today and found my students to be in a much better mood as well. How's that for powerful?

I'm glad your break was pleasant, and left you feeling refreshed!
A break when you need one makes all the difference in the world.
Finding the right combination of work and play is one of the most important keys to a deeply satisfying life.
I'm glad you're back and had a good trip. As you can tell, I'm catching up and not reading in order for some reason...ha! But I'm happy to see you again.
I laughed out loud at your faculty meeting comment. Yep. That would suck the zen out of anybody.
