Vacation break?

Can you have a vacation break? It feels like I have had one the last couple of days. Yesterday I spent organizing my stuff, checking my finances, answering some job e-mails, went food shopping and so on. Today I went on a 45 min jog in the morning and the rest of the day I have spent cleaning. You see; my sister and I have different opinions about what is clean and since I will stay here for a month I decided to do some cleaning. I’m not even halfway through, so I will continue tomorrow.

All these things are not very exciting things to do and definitely not vacation stuff. But I have a feeling that I need to take this kind of “vacation day off” once in a while during my long vacation. With too many new experiences every day I think my brain will go on into overload mood.

I have found a gym nearby. It is just across the street and is called “Supreme Court”. Funny name! I checked it out the other day and tomorrow I will try to negotiate a good price for us: my brother, my nephew and I. We will spend the next 3 weeks here, so it would be good to have a good gym nearby.

I might be in for a disappointment here in California. I was planning to have another trip to Yosemite – one of my favorite hiking places on earth, but today when I checked for hotel rooms I couldn’t find anything available. I know I should have booked this earlier, but since my brother didn’t book their tickets until late, I didn’t dare to book it. I will be so sad if I can’t go there.

Tomorrow will be another day of cleaning and maybe some shopping. It all depends on how much more time I need for the cleaning. Anyhow - the plan is to have it all ready by Wednesday when my brother and nephew arrive. Then I can start to have vacation again – with my whole family. :-)
