It's always nice to have those cozy stretches of time that seem to almost stand still in the moment. When that time is over, reality really does suck, lol! I had similar feelings as I never get a vacation from work, as I work Weds-Fri every week, all year long. There is no one who can do my job on staff at the small optical shop I work for, so hence, no real vacation for me. During Christmas and New years; well that's the longest stretch of time 6 days for Christmas off then back to work for 2, and 5 for New Year's, that I've had off in over 10 years of working for the doc! I really didn't want to go back, lol!

Yes, we will both get used to the 'old'/new routines, but it still sucks!

Thanks for sharing; take care and have a lovely day! !LADY
