I write this on my iPad while being on vacation. I’m right in the middle of this much-needed and well-deserved vacation week. My time so far has been spent going to the beach, relaxing, meeting new friends, and enjoying what I’ve got and life in general. [I didn’t track any of my time this week](https://twitter.com/apple%5Fobserver/status/1462780941345169413?s=21&ref=numericcitizen.me). I feel relieved. It wasn’t supposed to be a burden. I feel like if everything is slowing down. Nothing too demanding was on my to-do list. I didn’t read much, something we usually do while on vacation, right? I didn’t write much either, except for this short post—I wouldn’t want to break my publishing streak. I continued working on the next issue of [my newsletter](https://numericcitizen.me/tag/newsletter/). Furthermore, I did spend some time on Twitter and read some of my RSS feeds, just to feel connected a bit. It appears to me that we are in a slow news period.

I feel it would be better not to look too far in front of me, just in case I would start thinking about my return to work or about Christmas and everything that goes with it. I certainly don’t want to accelerate time. I prefer to think about the photos that I’ll process when I return home. Some of them will probably end up in [my Photo Legend Series](https://numericcitizen.me/tag/photo-legend-series/). Meanwhile, let me hit ***publish*** and start thinking about the next post in the Friday Notes series that will mark a year of existence.
