me = overwhelmed.
From a relationship perspective, I had the best holiday vacation ever. I spent some time with MIS and it was relaxing and wonderful (and the Christmas gifts were beautiful!). The pace was slow, the people were fantastic, and in a lot of ways, I’ve never felt better. (I also spent some time with my family, which for the most part, was pretty decent!)
Then I came back to DC. Instantly, I feel like my blood pressure has gone through the roof. I haven’t been sleeping well at all, I’m exhausted, and I just feel extremely uptight. Yesterday was my first day back to work. It wasn’t awful, but it took a little adjustment. I feel snippy, and I don’t like being snippy. I don’t want to open my mouth and say something that I don’t mean.
I know vacation is SUPPOSED to be relaxing, but that doesn’t mean necessarily mean that coming back should be almost overwhelming.

It gets easier, but those first few days back suck big time.

Vacations always seem like a wicked taunt to me to show me what I could be doing instead of what I have to do to be able to afford to do the vacation in the first place.
