How often do you want to get away from it all?

I rarely think that. Real is real and you have to cope. I just take a deep breath (and maybe a nap) and get on with it.

I very rarely want to be with “it all”.

‘Round here I call that “Thursday”.

Quite often.

At least once a day Monday-Friday. I actually feel that way now. Only 4 hours, 5 minutes, and 32 seconds to go.

Much more often that I actually get away!

All the time. I’m sick of going to work and pretending to be normal, smiling when I’m supposed to, making conversation. Wish it was just my boyfriend and I, on our own little island.

I actually don’t like people all up in my grill very much.

That’s each week in Pachyderm’s life.

Never. I often wish I could be in a condo overlooking the ocean, but I want it all with me.

I pretty much have that now, which is why I work where I do. I work nights, so unless there is a problem I am here by myself anyway. I live in a tiny village of about 350 people.

“It all” is all I have. That describes my life; I am content now to hang out with it all. I can tweak some things that are stressful, I do find.

Very often. I haven’t been able to so much the last couple of years. We used to go for a long weekend every three months – no work – just rest. The last couple of years it’s always been tied to work and this year, we’ve barely got away. I’m feeling it a lot.
