Candyce was away in San Diego all weekend with her family, so I was all alone here in Phoenix. There’s always countless things for me to accomplish in life, but there comes a point in your week where you just have to relax. I stayed at work until eight on Friday, then came home and stayed busy online until I fell asleep at midnight.

Yesterday afternoon I went to my friend’s pool party. I thought I’d just swing by for an hour in the afternoon, and I ended up staying until after midnight. It’s been a long time since I’ve cut loose and just had a good time.

In all the conversations we had at the party, I had little to talk about other than the projects in my life. It was cool to share about my passions and what I’m up to, but I had way too much to talk about. I had trouble just chilling out. I have to calm down and remember to have fun.

I cannot say it enough: it is so good to not travel. The past four years of my life has been an endless blur of work and traveling.
