Phew.

I always take some time off around this time of year. I never have anything planned, but it just seems like a decent time to take some time for myself. The kids are back at school, so it's quieter during the day. The weather's usually decent and all-in-all well worth taking a week off work.

But I've been side-tracked this summer. Work's been super busy. Family stuff has occupied my time outside of work and I just haven't gotten around to asking my boss for a week off. I'll do that this afternoon though. Not next week - I have work commitments that I can't avoid. But the week after, for sure.

And I've also fired KfW2 a quick message demanding that we do "something" soon. Hopefully that'll kick off a conversation or, even better, actual arrangements.
