Tomorrow we’re leaving town for a short and well-deserved vacation to Catalina Island. It’s on my list of things to do before we leave LA (someday). Actually tomorrow we’ll be spending the night in Long Beach, which is peaceful and laid back compared to LA. From Long Beach we catch the boat to Catalina on Sunday morning. We’re taking our bikes along so we’ll be exploring both Long Beach and Catalina by bicycle. We also plan to take a few tours, hopefully one of the casino in Avalon, go horseback riding, and possibly go kayaking if the weather warms up a little. Mostly we’re going to relax and get away from the daily grind.

It’s Spring Break and I’ve felt burnout settling in, ever so pervasively (oooh, that’s a big word for me!). So I’ve been working one day and feeling guilty about not working the next day. Only a little guilty though. I’ve completed a tremendous amount of work this quarter and am only a little behind, not enough to get me into the panic mode.

I’m off to make margaritas (this time Dave is helping me!) and relax for the evening.
