The Pensieve of Forgotten Topics

Day four of... God, I don't even remember how many days in a row I'll be working before I get a day off. I've been going in and out of work for so long now, I've lost all sense of time and day. Four days ago (Tuesday) I was under the impression it was Friday. Two days ago (Thursday) I thought it was Tuesday. Last night I believed it was 2230 when it was merely 2045.

Honestly, I need a break. Mind you, I'm not talking about a mere two days off - I'm talking about a week-long hiatus from life, the universe and everything.

And I'm not talking about a "Hey, Josh, did you disappear again or something?" moment - I'm talking about a much-needed vacation. Such a vacation will allow me more time to work on my personal projects, catch up with friends I haven't seen in a while and give me more time to clear my head so I can actually post 1,000+ entries this month without making it look like I'm just pulling words out of my ass.

Now, if I were to have things go my way, I'd go buy some isolated house in an undisclosed location and just live in it in semi-isolation for an extended period of time - kind of like Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Life doesn't work like that, though - you don't just get to do what you want. Most things nowadays have to be obtained through work.
