vacation time!

not yet, but it's coming, soon. i've been so tied up, and tired lately, that i'm really starting to look forward to ten days off or so. the photo here is from the last real vacation i took, which was tremendously odd.

first of all, personally, i was having one of my more serious times with my bipolar. the ubiquitous They had decided it was time to try a new drug, and there's really nowhere better than the middle of the wilderness to go through the side-effects for the first time. my entire nuclear family (myself, adult brother, and divorced parents) all crammed ourselves into an 280 square foot RV, and set sail for Wyoming (state motto: more horses than people!) it was an unusual trip, and i'd make it again in a heartbeat. even if i did have to sleep on the kitchen table.

if you want a really humorous take on it, oddly, in reverse order (from the end of the trip to the beginning) please visit the archives here, and find September 22, 2003. that's where it all begins. ends. whatever.

also, i'm apparently an attention whore, and i have some fantastic photos i want to share.

anyway, i'm back from the week from hell, and getting ready to begin the next one. i've just worked 7 days in a row, and in five more, i get one off. by my reckoning, that equals two days off a month. sigh. but it's all scratch for whatever adventure i'll be taking at the end of August. i'll find a picture of me in my browns, and you'll all get the firsthand experience of laughing until you want to puke. also, you'll be prepared for the nonstop moaning that the christmas season causes. ah, i love the transportation industry.

i want to thank all 5 of my readers for their continued belief in my sanity, and existence. you guys are the collective bomb.
