To my fellow Americans, Happy Independence Day! And happy Thursday to everybody else.

When my husband made the move from self-employment back to “let somebody else get an ulcer” employment, it was 98% good. Health insurance is nice. Not having to chase jobs is nice. But that 2%? We’re still trying to adjust to him not being the boss when it comes to time off. No more four day weekends all summer for the Stacey family anymore. The other drawback—not being able to reschedule his vacation time on a dime just because the month of June tried to kill me.

So off to camp for a week and a half. I’ll be working, which isn’t bad. There are fewer distractions (no phones, I have to walk across the campground for wi-fi and no errands that always need to be run), it’s my low-stress happy place, and the air conditioning is awesome. So I might pop up with pics now and then, but I’ll continue to be scarce until the 15th. Then I probably won’t shut up for two weeks, LOL.
