So Tired

After spending a long weekend in Vegas, I’m feeling the effects of staying out too late and having way too much fun. Getting up this morning and returning to work was quite difficult and has been a real hardship. Plus, it definitely isn’t easy to switch the brain from vacation mode to work mode. But…I’m working on it and it’s slowly coming back to me. It would’ve made things better if I had a vacation to recover from my Vegas vacation…because I could really use that extra time to recuperate right about now. But alas, here I am.

The weeks and months leading up to Vegas were mildly torturous for me. It sure seemed like I waited for Vegas for what seemed like forever and by the time Friday rolled around, I was happy that it was finally time to go. I spent the last few months (the past two months for sure) anticipating the trip and thinking about all the cool things that I was going to be able to do. I had my bags packed a good two weeks before I left and was just chomping at the bit ready to head to the airport on Friday morning. I mean, I had my restaurant reservations made, my show tickets booked, and even my outfits picked out long before I headed to Vegas…but I guess that’s not a surprise to anyone. I was ready to go and there was no way I was missing my trip to Vegas.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Vegas, but I was pleasantly surprised that I had such a good time. I had some good food, saw some awesome shows, and enjoyed some late-night excitement…and hell, just enjoyed getting away to recharge my batteries for a little while. I was in Vegas for about four days, which was plenty of time to accomplish the things that I had set out to do/see on this visit, but it did lead me to things that I would like to experience the next time I find myself in Vegas. While walking the strip, I saw plenty of restaurants that I would’ve liked to try, a few shows that I wouldn’t mind seeing, and some hotels that I didn’t explore as thoroughly as I would’ve liked. So I guess I’ll just have to schedule another trip to Vegas and tackle those things at some later point.

With all that said, I could really use some time to rest after all the excitement I had over the weekend. As you can imagine, I’m going to use my upcoming long weekend to rest and relax. Hopefully, I’ll be as good as new next week.
