I am on VACATION

Renting a house about an hour north of home. For awhile I was afraid it might not happen because of the Bay Area fires -- for awhile there was a mandatory evacuation zone less than a mile away -- but the situation started getting better yesterday and continues to improve today. The air quality is definitely better here than it was at home (at least most of the time, and when the wind shifts it's pretty easy to close up all the windows). I plan to spend a fair amount of time relaxing and reading, playing games, and I might even get some writing done. I do have to spend Thursday doing dayjob work, but I factored that in to all my plans. It's beautiful here, and I can already tell that the change of scenery is doing my mental state a world of good.
