Back on a plane and returning to a daily job I most definitely needed a break from.
I really need to consider actually using some of my vacation time, I can't keep letting it build up like I have for the past several years. Before I know it I'll have a whole year's time saved up… Just the same, I have no idea what I'd do for a vacation - in part the reason why I haven't taken any yet… Sick days either.
In any case, we're on the plane and Duo, thankfully, is taking a 'nap'. I put this in quotes because it'd be more accurate to say that he's sleeping, as I'm almost certain he never got around to doing such last night, but he used 'nap' so I'll quote him on that.
Ugh. It feels like it's been so long that we've been away but it's only been a matter of days. Furthermore, "Ugh' is apparently my new favorite word to type.
Yesterday was quite the full day. We discovered that Lady and Zechs had other obligations, so we let them be and once we got Wufei out of the hotel room we went to a late lunch, followed by a walk down town. We ended up going into a great number of odd shops (odd by my meaning). Some shops were high end things Quatre was piqued by, some were atlas and world-related things that Trowa and Wufei were interested in and the rest were shops nobody really wanted to know what was inside but that Duo forced us into for just that reason. It was truly terrible… Well, no. Not entirely, when he scared the crap out of Quatre in that "Zemgawe Mal" bazaar it was actually hysterical, though I'm not sure if it was because of Quatre's fright or from his overzealous pummeling of the American which followed the fright.
After this we went out to a late dinner which was nice. We all exchanged a little news about our lives, Quatre asked everyone if they had 'someone special', because that's what he always asks anyone when he sees them in person. Not a one of us were very comfortable answering him this question though, and he got a little pouty. Naturally he cheered up when we started talking about each of our work environments and coworkers. Most of this talk seemed to involve me and Duo arguing over exact details, or opinions, of something that occurred at our Preventers office. We also got to hear of Quatre and Trowa's surprise at Duo for taking the position (a few years late). Quatre also told us a little about his new Resource satellite construction plan. Sounds like a big overhaul, but he seems to know what he's doing (for a man who complains that he's not cut out for that type of work he sure handles it well )
Then we all headed back to the hotel. Somehow it was decided that we would sit and talk a while before going to bed, which led us to Quatre's suite (the way the man talks and acts at times makes me forget that he is the CEO of an enormous corporation). I gave up the ghost at 1 am and just curled up on the couch, the same time Trowa decided it was time for his pre-bed shower and was offered to use Quatre's. I have no idea about the nighttime affairs of the other three. My bet is that it has something to do with the fact that Duo is sleeping now.
Also, Trowa couldn't make the flight with us, apparently he has to make a short stop elsewhere with his troupe. A one night thing, then he heads out way. Like pre-planned, we'll wait until the last night before bothering him. We've told him this, so that he doesn't think we completely disregarded him when we don't come the first night.

As nice as it was to be away, there really is nothing like a good sleep in your own bed. I never really appreciated that until this morning. I may need to actually go away on vacation, like I wrote yesterday. It makes this place somehow more attractive. It makes me feel less like I'm forced to stay here, and more like I actually want to be here. It's rather nice.
Today there was no work so Duo and I could readjust from jet lag and settle. I took this opportunity to rearrange my living room furniture and tidy up.
That was all.
Paz Notes:
So apparently I forgot to update last weekend… I have a valid excuse, I SWEAR. It's on my deviantART though… It's called Request- Sitting Comfortably… It may make up for the lack of update… You'll like it, I swear…
And if not… well shit, sorry guys… ;;
At the end of Episode Zero, in the bonus comic Preventer Five, Quatre is approached by Wufei, who needs his help. Quatre literally replies "I was starting to think… This really isn't me" indirectly pointing to the stack of paperwork on his table…
ALSO, CONGRATS CHLOE, she won the contest thing. I'm mostly done with her prize too – I am putting off finishing it for this update, it'll BE DONE by tomorrow the latest. I'm thinking of doing more, but I need to come up with a better game… comments or email suggestions if you got 'em.
