Needing a vacation
The last month has been emotionally draining. The trip back was uneventful but tiring. Today I'm just out-of-sorts exhausted.

I need a vacation.

A vacation in the sense of "vacate".

Maybe a trip east to Ontario to visit friends or going to Eureka...

I need to:

Just hang out, not travel.
Have no obligations nor responsibilities.
Have no expectations.

And there's the rub... visiting friends may come with expectations.

Maybe I should visit the Cotswolds, a place I've never been, and do nothing but walk, take pictures and write. A cottage with a resident cat or dog would do well. A quaint village would suit me fine.

No tourists, no excitement, nowhere to go or be other than just to be.

I may just settle on Missoula. Afterall, I've been on the road for three months out of four. I'm very tired and feeling withdrawn.

Yep. I need to vacate.
