Vacation

I can tell that my vacation has kicked in when

*cooking is a joy, rather than a chore
*I start to wonder why I ever thought doing the dishes was a hassle
*I stop reading, not because I have to, but because I need a break
*the number 12:03 doesn't cause a panic in my chest as I turn out the light
*the average number of paragraphs per post goes up dramatically
*I ask the cats to go out to the yard with me, rather than the other way around

What signals the true beginning of YOUR vacation?
