It doesn't feel like it would be that long since my summer vacation, but it has indeed been almost four months already. No wonder I have felt a bit exhausted lately.
Luckily the next long weekend isn't too far away. We have our independence day coming up in two weeks and as it will be on Tuesday it's easy to take the Monday off to get a nice four day weekend.
That small break should be enough to get through the rest of the year. That is until Christmas when I'm going to have the rest of the year off. That does mean that after that I've spent all my vacation days until the end of march when our next vacation season starts.
For the next 4-5 months of the year the situation is a bit better. There are more public holidays giving those refreshing long weekends to get through the spring time in anticipation of the longer summer vacation.
