Easter break

My daughter has suggested that we make the most of a long weekend and go away for Easter. She thinks I am becoming too obsessed by minor detail and a visit to my brother's on the Isle of Wight might give me some perspective. I couldn't see what she was getting at so she rolled off a long list of recent events. She said she first became concerned when she caught me using white correction fluid to cover up small chips on the skirting board paintwork. She didn't say anything at the time but then became more alarmed when she found me working out the distance covered and time it took for a piece of recycling to go from the kitchen to the recycle box outside our block of flats. It takes on average 84 hours for a 20 metre journey. During busy periods it takes 24 hours longer. Then when my team leader suggested I was wasting time counting paper clips and post it notes my daughter decided to take action. The train tickets have been booked, four and a half hours to travel 246 miles to Southampton and we have a ferry to negotiate, which I have calculated will take another 95 minutes including waiting and boarding time. I think the break will do me good.
