OK, if you know that part of Hemingway, maybe you really DO know the Paxmeister!
As the Mouse Woman would attest, I am a creature of habit, AKA OCD. So, I have two weeks of vacation! Most of you would say "Oh joy!!!", but for me, it is, ironically, a bother.
Why do I feel like this when I get out of my "routine"? It IS this routine that helps me maintain a main-stream existance in life. W/O it, I flounder, am subject to panic attacks and depersonalization. Wierd, huh?
Anywho.....off I go. I will wake at 5:30 AM every day and feel guilty for not getting out of bed. I will try to stay up past 10:30 W/O slipping into a "zone". I won't want to eat or excersise because I will have gotten out of my pattern.
Is this too much or what? Anyone else this crazy? It's only a bleeding vacation!
Help me MightyMouse!!!!!!!!!!

Pax,
how's the vacation going?
maybe you can let yourself follow a typical morning routine anyways.
and remember, it's okay to let yourself have 'fun' and enjoy life. you don't need to be 'productive' all the time. why were we created if not to enjoy?

Actually, I have been doing much better than I expected. I have been trying to keep busy, and have actually picked up a 1300+ page Tom Clancy book I have been "trying to read" for the past three years, and gotten through another 300 pages!
I have been spending time with my 7 year old daughter, which has been fun.
Only last night did I have some work-related dreams that caused me to toss and turn the rest of the night worrying about the sh*t that I will walk into Monday. But that's still a few days away!
Thanks for checking in on me!
