As Good As A Holiday
In fact, it was a holiday. France for one week, Italy for two, and it was all a sensational blast. I have never been to Europe, or really traveled as an adult, but I think I might have a taste for it now. It is a very cool sensation to walk through other countries and just soak it all in. Not to mention, you don’t have to work. That’s a bonus like it’s Christmas every morning I woke up.
I managed to read four books, buy some comics in another language, eat plenty of food and see some awe-inspiring sites. But most importantly, I got to relax. I didn’t think about work while I was away, and I didn’t do any writing, though I did a hell of a lot of thinking about it and made a few notes so that I can slip straight back into the groove upon my return.
It is right now 4 in the morning. I wanted to avoid jetlag so when I left on Saturday morning in Italy I stayed awake until Sunday night in Australia. I then slept very well and had a fine Monday. Then I only slept for three hours Monday night and have been up since 3am this morning and am not really tired. I wonder if this is jetlag, or just my stupid body thinking that it is now only going to sleep on every second night.
Either way…so long as I survive work today. I’ll post more about my trip later in genre themed posts, and I don’t mean my Western adventure and then my tween comedy adventure.
