I NEED A VACATION

I AWOKE TIRED OF THE ROUTINE.

WAIT A MINUTE WHY DO I NEED A VACATION?  WHAT DO I NEED TO CHANGE?  WHAT IS MISSING FROM MY LIFE?

READING THE GREEN BOOK INFO ONLINE STARTED ME WONDERING ABOUT THE FAMILY TRIPS I HATED SO MUCH.  WOW, I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I HATED THEM.  BEING ASIAN WAS THE SAME DISCRIMINATION.  FEAR.

THE TRIPS TO HAWAII EVERY 4 YEARS WERE LIKE IMMIGRATING WITH THE PACKED FOOD, BOXES OF STUFF GOING AND COMING.  THE FISHING TRIPS, CAR TRIPS.  NOT FOR THE KIDS.  BEING PACKED LIKE HOT, SWEATY SARDINES.  RIDING FOR HOURS, NO STOPPING.  WERE MOM AND DAD RECHARGING THEIR BATTERIES?  OR JUST PLAYING EGO GAMES.

4 PM-MY NEED FOR DRIVING MYSELF IS A HOLDOVER FROM THEIR EXAMPLE OF RUNNING AWAY.  I CHOOSE TO RUN TOWARD.

I DUTIFULLY DID MY SUNDAY ROUTINE.  I WENT AND PLAYED IN THE THRIFT STORE.  I HAD $5 TO SPEND AND GOT 4 DVDS.  SIMPSON MOVIE, SPIDER PIG.  JOHN GAVE ME TWO NEW DREAM CATCHERS.  I TOOK HIM THE NEWSPAPER TO WRAP GLASSWARE. 

LUNCH WAS DELICIOUS COSTCO POTATO SALAD, OK PRESSED HAM, ROLLS, CESAR SALAD.  I ATE TAKE HOME FOR DINNER.  I CONSIDERED PASSING ON BINGO BUT I WON ONE.  I CONSIDERED GIVING DINNER AND $2 TO JOHN BUT DECIDED NO.
