today was the first day of the year. after getting three hours of sleep last night because of my sick dog and waking up without my voice, i worked 11 hrs today and was able to sleep from midnight until 2am when my foster dog woke me up while he was having a seizure. i took him into the clinic and i couldn't believe my eyes. they were in the middle of surgery at 230am. it was a mess in there. petey was okay, but i ended up staying until 6am and i've never worked at such a pace.
i am now under the firm impression that i need a vacation.
There are as many explanations for acute wanderlust as there are travelers who suffer from it. But common to them all is the desire to break through the protective bubble that surrounds ordinary tourists as they move from one homogenous, CNN-wired hotel to another.
