Getting back to the swing of things

I got back from a short vacation on Thursday but it was very hard to get back to the swing of things at work and with school assignments. I went to my cousin's wedding in Minnesota last week and after the wedding in Minneapolis, we drove 4 hours north to my Uncle's cabin by Lake Vermillion. It was an exercise in patience...no internet, no TV, no cellphone signal. All we did was eat and sleep when we were not target shooting, fishing and tubing. The cabin was in a remote area but although I missed technology on our first day in Timbuktu, after a while, I slid into the rustic living like I was born into it.

However, I realized how much I missed the high tech world we live in when we got back to the city. One tends to take for granted what one so easily gets to enjoy as I do with highspeed internet and mobile technology. When we got back to civilization, the first thing I did was check for voicemail and email. Loving rustic life or no, once an internet addict, always an internet addict! LOL!
