Then don't. It sounds like a little breathing room might be good for you anyways. I sent my wife over to Europe and various other places on vacation (solo) over the years. It was good for her to let everything go every once in a while and have a change. For me in this place a bad day can be really bad. People died bad. Going home is and always was such a weight off my shoulders and it was a change of scene. That is something she never had. She never got to step outside of her life, let everything go. Unless we made it happen. A trip was a way of letting her breathe, let her learn to appreciate what she had, let those who lived in the home she made learn to appreciate her. I don't know if it works for everybody but it worked for us.

You make it sound so easy and I wish it were.
There's the time, money and the willingness for everyone else in this house to pick up the slack...and I know that won't happen.
I did get away for a night back in the summer...it was a tease. But I may broach the subject again. Maybe I'll make my birthday weekend trip a week trip instead.
Such a journey could be made on the cheap. Gas, clean but not fancy hotels, eat decent but not at expensive places. I think willingness was the key word in your response. There are many things I have done that were easy save mustering the will to start the venture in the first place. Seems like that is often the hardest thing, taking the first step. Maybe that is just me.
I'm so friggin agitated with work and a couple of co-workers I can't even think straight.
I literally can't concentrate.... Unrealistic deadlines..... unrealistic technical demands..... Our sales staff are the biggest bunch of whores I've ever seen, tell a customer we can do anything... never bother to deal with silly thing like understanding the details... "Oh, yeah, no problem we can do that."

Well said. Having been on both sides of the equation - in JT6OU's shoes as well as a (carefree) bachelor - I find it incredibly easier to let everything go when I'm a solo act.
Responsibilities, like albatrosses around the neck, weigh one down at times like that.

If I had a gun.......
J/K....
sorta.
Sounds similar to booger eating morons I have to face each day.
I'm thinking you should go someplace warm and tropical after all that cold and snow!
Ahh, don't worry about me. That's why I took up running again
Yeah, sad huh? We were going to head to the mountains for Thanksgiving but we just don't want to spend the money, his job is teetering. Company is for sale and we don't know what is going to come of it.
January is a girls weekend...heading to the mountains for a 10K race and then we have the rest of the weekend to do what we want. Should be a lot of fun!
I might go away by myself for a weekend in March for my birthday but that's pretty far away too. There's an 8K night race in Beaufort SC followed by an oyster roast. There's a B&B I've been wanting to stay in down there so I figured I could make a weekend of it. Might see if one of my friends wants to go.
The "Oyster Roast 8k"; now that would be an interesting event.
