What's that word when you don't have to go to work for a couple days?

To echo KC's sentiments in her post, I'm writing my post with the rain in the background. But seriously, what is the deal with all this rain?

Anyway, my post is about the v-word. Before I continue, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER! I'm talking about vacation. Vacation is a very foreign word when you are working in sports. Frankly, it is very rare when you are able to take a couple days off to relax because there are games or community appearances or other obligations that come first. Before today, I couldn't tell you the last time I was on vacation. My real vacation isn't until June so this is kind of the pre-cursor to the real vacay.

The next four days I get to enjoy sometime away from the office. You know, a time to recoop, relax or well at least try too. Surprisingly, it only took a few hours of me not doing anything to think about work and to check my e-mail and even consider doing some things to get me ready for my busy week next week.

I slapped my hand away from my computer and forced myself to go out for lunch and mani/pedis--that of which is nearly impossibly and quite frankly doesn't make any sense to do during the season.
To alleviate my anxiety, I have only been on e-mail once so far and that made me breath a little bit.

I'm going a little bit stir crazy, but that is just what happens when you work non-stop crazy hours and then get a chance to sit down. It's like you feel like the world is spinning around while you are standing still. And as hectic and crazy that spinning is, you still want to be apart of it!

But now, I think I'm gonna go back and "enjoy" this rain that has consumed us lately. There are many cliche quotes and sayings about rain. So to be a cheeseball let me share one of my favorite rain quotes "Rain Rain go away come again another day...."
