So, here we are. Post-holidays, everyone except me got some rest, and after a brief bit of work, I’m finally taking a few days “off” to catch up with household chores and sleep more than 5 hours at a time. What’s interesting is that I’ve been going with my foot to the floor basically since late June and I don’t know what to do with myself! I spent 3 hours working on the new search features today, replied to some LibraryThing member emails, and did some quick maintenance stuff on the servers.

What is it going to take for me to simply put things down for a few days? Why can’t I just disconnect? I know that if something goes seriously wrong, I’m going to get a phone call and have to fix it. Perhaps it’s the knowledge that I don’t really get to walk away that keeps me close? I know there are books written about this subject, but I’m too impatient to read them. I always feel like I’m on edge, that something is about to happen, that any relaxation I begin to have is only going to end badly. Either way, I’m going to go play some PlayStation now and try to forget all about books for at least a few hours!

Oh, and I’m going to finish the 12 queued entries I’ve been working on for months :-)
