"we're on a break"

starting in a few weeks

i'm taking a break from school.

the official term is 'leave of absence'

but i prefer 'sabbatical'.

or 'siesta'.

because even though i don't have much of a choice

(my job will have me traveling more than half the semester)

i can't really say i'm disappointed.

i'm completely over-extended in every way.

and it's impacting my health, marriage, grades....

so next month will be a welcome break.

an opportunity to stop moving quite so fast.

because sometimes you just have to say 'no.'

you know?
