What I learned from spending a refreshing vacation with my family

Thank you for your continued support.
This is Kashiwamochi.

Although I say this time, it actually happened last year, but I
took advantage of the ``Refreshment Leave System.''

What is the Refreshment Leave System?

I had a refreshing vacation

Due to the effects of COVID-19, it has been difficult to travel around the world, but
I managed to go on a little trip with just my family to the mountains and rivers where there are not many people around.

Since I started working, I haven't really taken a lot of time off in one go, and we have
n't often gone out together as a family, so
this was our first family trip since our current family composition was formed.

I spent the first few days preparing for the trip and taking care of the garden

It had been a long time since I'd had a proper night's sleep, and I
was surprised at how energetic I was in the morning after a good night's sleep.

I visited the mountains and rivers with my family

My daughter and son are trying their hand at draining water for the first time in the mountains and rivers.
They're throwing it from above. It looks like it'll just splash down the drain.

for the whole family to get together and go on a little trip
, so I think they were very satisfied.

*This is being done outside of the state of emergency period

I took care of the garden

I pulled weeds in the garden.
It's been a few years since I moved into my current house, but I
haven't been able to take care of the garden much until now, so I decided to take care of it.

However, I haven't had the time to do that this year, so
the weeds are getting out of hand.
Houttuynia cordata is a real problem.

Other things I did

・I made a Gunpla

・It's been a while since I last played a bunch of console games

I made sweets with my partner

・I read the books that had been piling up

Back to work

Returning to work refreshed,
I was able to see many flaws in my work attitude that I hadn't noticed before.
I realized how important it is to take a break.

summary

Kashiwamochi, a workaholic, has been working for over a week

It was my first experience not being involved in work,

I was a bit nervous and a bit upset, but I think I had a very meaningful time

I realized how important it is to rest my body and how important it is to spend time with my home

I am extremely grateful to the company for giving me this opportunity

We will continue to make it easier for all our colleagues to work

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a refreshing break
