I'm glad you enjoyed your extra week of vacation! I also feel you on that taking a break from social media; I always worry about keeping up with friends I might miss otherwise, but I also hate feeling obligated to give my time to the attention merchants, if that makes sense? Like I *wish* I didn't feel obligated to check as much and trying to separate how much of it is actually about positive social engagement vs a timesink that makes me feel crappy about the other things I 'should' be doing.

Sounds like you have a lot of good stuff lined up! Do you know yet what book(s) you will be reading for the book club?
