After being away from work for two weeks, my co-workers said I look well rested and different. It must be the tan I got from staying under the sun, despite of the fact that I tried my best to walk under the shade.
Of course, they also said, "just wait after a few days at work and everything will be back". Erm.
Surprisingly, I did feel the difference. I wasn't as stressed even though my patients were keeping me on my feet for most of the day and with explaining, re-explaining and doing it all over again in a span of five minutes.
Hopefully, it takes more than two shifts to reverse the effects of a good vacation!

The difference between J and I:
- I turned away when J felt sick in the car and threw up on a paper bag. This is one of my weaknesses, I can't stand hearing someone gag/vomit or see them doing so (so much for being a nurse!). Meanwhile, when it happened to me and I was staring at the toilet because I felt sick to my stomach (literally), he wanted to hold my hair up. Erm.
- I will not pay for first class seats for a 1.5 hour flight while he was ready to swipe his card without hesitation.
- He overpacks while I try to justify every piece of clothing I place in my luggage. In the end, he was smarter since I didn't have anything decent to wear on our last day of the trip
- I am not a fan of roller coasters! I unknowingly agreed to go on a ride that I didn't think would be one and throughout the ride, I was swearing in my head because I couldn't even scream. J on the other hand was laughing and enjoying every minute of it. The picture they take as souvenir said it all, I looked like I was about to have a heart attack.

After a brief two weeks vacation, I am now back to reality. It really isn't so bad. I need the everyday life to enjoy the special things along the way. :D
