First official vacation

Been at my new job for over a year and a half now, and in my current management position for less than five months. I wanted to wait until I had a good amount of vacation hours saved up before I went, which meant I was going to delay my usual vacation to well past the usual time frame when I took it from my old work. 

So this year, I decided to take it during the first week of autumn, so starting today through the 30th, I will be off and away from work to recharge and refresh before tackling the next part of the year, which is going to involve the holidays.

But what do I plan on doing while on vacation? Honestly, just playing a lot of games, watching a lot movies and cooking and eating a lot of food, for it autumn is the season of the feast, and that is exactly what I intend to do this week. 

An annual tradition of mine is to make a bit pot of beef stew on the first day of autumn, along with a pumpkin cheesecake. The latter of which I've already made, 

The stew will be started early tomorrow morning and left to slow cook all day. 

To entertain me between writing episodes of Last Tail and reading whatever depraved horror novel I can get my hands on will be Trails of Cold Steel. 

I played it in the past on the PS3, and did enjoy it, but being able to play it in portable form is really going to increase that enjoyment.
