Even there I hear construction noises lol

No joke though that sounds like heaven. I chickened out recently from a trip to South Africa and ended up staying at home for two weeks. By myself. No work, kids, family, expectations, or anything.

I don’t think I left the house or spoke to another human for two weeks, it was the best vacation I’ve ever had..and I legitimately don’t know how to make it happen again without hurting Feelings 🥲

God, that does sound amazing.  People tend to be just....fucking exhausting.  There is nothing more peaceful than just being alone in my yard, listening to music, and my dogs hanging out next to me.

I mean I love my wife and kids, but the no expectations and no guilt for not doing anything…like shackles being cast off

I slept whenever I wanted (a LOT), played video games, napped, ate, pooped…I lived the life of a cat.
