Feeling Fab

It's amazing what a little break can do for a person. Leigh and I were only gone one week, but it went by nice and slowly as we'd hoped. Now we're back and work and doing 90% better than before we left! Leigh has lost her voice and is still catching up on her sleep from our night flight home, but nothing that is really going to hold her back. In fact, Leigh returned to work yesterday and got an award! That's right, she was hired permanently only a few weeks ago, promptly went on vacation and then was given an award on her first day back. This can only mean one of two things: (1) her company is a magical place or (2) she has successfully hypnotized her superiors and can look forward to many more, frequent recognitions of her efforts including frequent raises, free cars, and a puppy. I certainly hope it's the latter because I'd really love a puppy! I'm feeling amazing as well. I took yesterday off to get our apartment/lives back in order including washing some really smelly camping clothes and am now back at work without the crazy workload I was expecting. I'm even dressed to the nines in a new top I bought in Honolulu and my cute black pants. Also, this morning I came into work, picked up a few files, and got down to it without much ado. Before my vacation I was Madame Procrastinator and had zero love for my work. Just another testament to taking time for yourself and living your life to the fullest: it leaves you more willing and able to do your work well. Now I'm happy to do my work and am making extracurricular plans for this week, something I didn't have the motivating to do for nearly a month! On Friday alone I have on my calendar a morning CLE, a French conversation group after work and a party that night. Crazy day, but I think I might just be in the mood for it! Later this month I'm looking forward to a fundraiser for a new farmer's market in town and in just over 3 weeks I'm going to Fairbanks for the Bar Convention! What a great way to kick start Spring/Summer!
