Was up until three-ish last night with anxiety over vacation feeling like cheating. I've got a week's worth of time off and I'm going with 'doing tourist things in New York' as my vacation, as I spent more on the move out of Jersey City than I intended. (Yes, tourist things are expensive, but they're not as expensive as plane travel unless you do a LOT of them.) Being at home on a work day when I'm not actively sick feels like I'm playing hooky or cheating or otherwise doing something awfully illegitimate, and that made it hard to sleep.

Woke up this morning at somewhat-earlier-than-get-to-work-o-clock to the tune of HONK HONK HONK for about ten or fifteen minutes from the street below.

Whoever ordered the taxi and then failed to respond, if you don't have a SUPER good reason, I hope your next plane flight involves a cranky baby.

I hope the guilt will subside.

When I was in the army, I sometimes took my "week off" and did nothing more than sit at home and relax.
Annoyed me when my mother had me do chores, though I told her I was on vacation. So what if I didn't go somewhere far from home?

There's is absolutely nothing wrong with sitting around enjoying the sensation of doing nothing. Those are my favourite kinds of vacations, actually. I always feel more drained after a lot of traveling than I did before I left. It's your vacation, you've earned it, and you can spend your days doing whatever you find enjoyable.

Speaking of vacations, should we expect the boys tonight? I'm getting the spare litter box ready as soon as I get home from work, so they won't have to worry about using the Clever Cat unless they want to.

Yeah, I rented a car so I could bring them over- rental starts around eight. I'm hoping to go to martial arts class first, but we'll see how that goes.

Any guilt I may have felt about getting the boys out of my hair for this evaporated when my attempts to sleep through HONK HONK HONK were foiled by *headbutt headbutt headbutt* requests to be fed.

Oh cats.

One of mine puts his paw on your face.

Oooh... martial arts class! That sounds like fun!

Don't feel guilty about bringing the boys. They'll be thoroughly spoiled, and have a great time spending the week hiding from my kids. Just think of it as a vacation for them, too!
