awkward pauses

No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.
- Elbert Hubbard

Getting up and out to work today was harder than ever. Mondays are always hard, but this morning marked the end of my longest official vacation of the year (2 full days off for Thanksgiving)...

My voice oddly disappeared on Friday morning. But as frustrating as it was, not talking for a couple days was an interesting exercise. I got to thinking about how I insist on having no secrets (of my own at least), and decided that though I plan to stick with the policy, perhaps I should consider voluntarily bearing all to only a select group of people...(It's still a challenge not divulging some of these things on this blog...)
