There's a difference between being busy and being purposeful. I've been very busy here, and not very purposeful. And without a sense of self-directed purpose I feel superfluous, listless. I've learned this at various times in my life. Maybe I'll start to remember it one of these days.

Enjoy the vacation/break. It's a vacation/break.
