Home Sweet Chch

Coming back to life post-holiday was a rocky transition.  E-mails to catch up on, groceries to buy, heaps of laundry, etc. etc.  Life without the computer seemed so much simpler, and I didn't have a worry in the world, or a pressure to be on top of things.  It was comforting driving into Chch and having everything seem familiar, and finally feeling like a place in NZ was my home.  That was nice.  But as soon as I was back, I found myself stressed, and even suffering a bit of cabin fever in the flat.  I have two additional days off before going back to work, and already, the challenge I set forth for myself, learning to relax, is taking effect.  Part of me wants to get back to work right away to shake off this feeling, while the other longs to be back on holiday.  I need to regroup, and gear up for 2009!
