The "OMG I'm going to blow" feeling? I feel that way now. We get Dr. B home for a couple of weeks and deal with all the urgencies and emergencies and I'm taking a "staycation" myself. I may even read a few books myself. :) I suspect the various enterprises can do without me, since (and I wouldn't have believed it) they survived without you. Could it be we ARE capable of signing off for a couple weeks? I think we all should try it this year. You know how you felt before? The “OMG I’m going to blow” feeling?

The challenge will be doing this on a weekend or a single "mental health day" during the week, or a week-long vacation in the future. I also plan on having Dr. Becker "mentor" me in how to do this when he gets back from his 5 weeks in Europe, LOL. I just hope I don't have to get a slot on a couple of TV shows first.

I hate leaving my dogs, so I prefer to stay home. I need your tips on staying away from work when you're "staycationing" at home, though. I can't seem to do it! Sounds perfect, Christie!

Now to work on that life/work balance thing - here's hoping changing the office makes a positive difference. Yes, we missed you, but I love your productive reading/Gleeing/relaxing.
