There’s a reason for breaks in the school year. It’s needed, natural and (I’m convinced) necessary to survive. We are taught as children that it is okay to not work continuously to not learn more than we need to each year. It’s the reason you don’t learn multiplication in kindergarten – the brain can only handle so much.
After a particularly grueling month, I need a brain break – a refresh, because I can no longer rebound or be myself. My tunnel vision is stuck on the stressful, rather than the relax. My battery has run out of juice and I’m on fumes. Seventy-two hours of sleep with intermittent food and wine breaks sounds just about perfect.
For now, I’ll settle for a massage and a quiet Saturday.
