Back from vacation, back to reality

jon_chaissonNote to future self: It's probably for the best that I don't plan traveling vacations to coincide with weekend conventions, as it's becoming commonplace for me to miss the last day due to exhaustion. It's better if I just use those vacations for a full week somewhere, and instead grab single days for those cons. [I don't feel too guilty as I only had one panel today, but it was at 9:30 am and I just didn't have the energy for it.]
The vacation itself was uneventful but relaxing, as we spent most of it just hanging out in Cambridge MA and later hanging with my family. The only real downside was that it was extremely chilly the first few days and we delicate Californians couldn't handle it. Heh.
Checked the work PC just for any updates and to clean out the personal inbox (around 150 items), and thankfully there weren't any broken systems (that I know of) and nothing caught on fire. I'm expecting the boxes I usually work in to be a bit of a mess as they usually are when I go away, but the backup I trained the other day was really good at e-cleaning up after himself, so hopefully it'll be relatively orgranized.
So. Did I get any writing done? Nope. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I did start yet another quick read of Diwa & Kaffi, mainly to prep myself for the con reading (and I'm happy to say I am yet to get sick of my own book, so that's a good sign). I'm hoping to get back on the horse and bring everything back up to speed today, starting with the blog entries and other things. I'm still worried about my current Possible New Projects, as I'm sort of dithering between being interested in them and not being able to find a story anywhere (read: being too damn lazy to look for them in the first place), but I'm not too worried. As long as I'm working on it to some degree, that's what really matters.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
