Vacation - Quitting one job and getting another, realizing that your wife is right and you should take a week off between the two because you don't want to take the toxic attitude with you from the old to the new, not having any money but saying, "Screw it, let's just credit card it because I need to flush 2 1/2 years of professional poison out of my system."
My bank statement says I can't afford this but my soul says I can't afford not to. The last time I took more than a day off to go away and wasn't seeing family was 5 years ago for my honeymoon. Oh, and my wife deserves this more than I ever will, she's the best.
