Something interesting has happened and I and my SO find ourselves with three days in a row off (actually he is working lunch downtown today and then is off until Monday morning). I really need a break from everything and a chance to take a breather before training for my new job starting on Monday. We were thinking of going down to Nogales to visit my SO's family again (and that still is not off the table) but I am thinking more of Tucson, a city I've always liked and one that does not involve crossing a border. Off season rates still in effect there right now, too.
Just need to get away from the media and if I'm going to be honest, the 85006 for a little bit. Things are so intense now and I just want to focus on being the best I can be with this new opportunity starting Monday. On the one hand, I feel guilty for bailing, but on the other, 12 years ago when I was making very good money at California Pizza Kitchen I used to just take off whenever I could - a few of you who may remember that far back might remember I'd often take off for Tucson for a couple of days and stay at the Roadrunner Hostel. Why should I feel guilty for leaving now when it was OK back then?
At any rate, I'm taking off for a couple of days later today and won't be back until Sunday 8PM-ish......it will be so nice to catch up on sleep and if it's still in business, I know an economical Guatemalan restaurant downtown. Just nice to get away! Rob
