I did finally take a wee vacation!
I planned a girls getaway for the long weekend with my friend Tiffany, who invited some of her girls and I, mine. In the end, there were seven ladies and we rented a house in Dillon Beach. It’s a tiny oceanside town about an hour and a half north.
And it was lovely. Sharon, Allison and I got there on Friday night, made a spaghetti dinner and stayed up far too late talking. Beautiful on Saturday. We drank mimosas in the morning and went for a long walk on the beach. Cold, but sunny and clear water and waves. Then Tiffany turned up with her friends Tara, Heather and Alicia. We played games, drank more, made dinner, and danced around the living room. On Sunday I got a massage at Osmosis spa with Allison, which was really fantastic and then we got and ate about a billion loaves of possibly the best food stuff I have ever let pass my lips. The word “bread” doesn’t do it justice. There was napping and movie watching in the afternoon and more games.
If I could just get my apartment cleaned up from its current gross-o state, I would be in a sublime state of relaxedness and readiness to go to work tomorrow. So almost, but not quite! And all in all, it was just so good to take some time off and go away and just be.
