It’s the day before I’m due to head home for a few days and I’m working late in the office again. Though the washing is done the bag isn’t packed. My flight leaves at 6.50am. I won’t be getting a lot of sleep.
I’ve been here before. By default the day before you go on holiday is usually quite busy. By a similar default when I normally fly home I’m usually already quite tired. Sweden is where I spend most of my holiday days every year and therefore I’m normally in need of just that. A holiday. My love for early morning flights doesn’t help with the tiredness but I’m weighing up the extra hours I get back home against my sleep and so far I still value the extra hours more and try to make up some lost sleep with having a nap on the plane.
Time always comes as a cost and right now when my allocation of spare time is a little less than normal the time I have with friends and family is becoming even more valuable and something I happily give up a little bit more sleep for. One day I’ll get on that early morning flight with a bit more than 4 hours sleep though.
Tomorrow – Day 173 | Tomorrow can be completely different from today
