Awesome idea to take a week. You deserve it! I'm sure you will feel much better after. I find that bubble baths and movies are good quick fixer uppers for me. 
I do them at least once a week if not more. Sideways was a great movie. Pervs 'R Us

Mikee - The sprint tris are a great way to start. If you like to bike and swim you can do them. Check out the Couch to Tri training program. It looks pretty reasonable. Matter of fact the Osprey Sprint Triathlon here in Maryland that Dana did I saw a lot of beginners, seniors, kids, all sizes of people taking there time and having fun. SWIM .5 Miles - BIKE 15.2 Miles - RUN 3.1 Miles.. very reasonable. Some people just walked the run portion. The hard part is swimming in the open water. Nothing really can prepare you for that even if you swim in open water. You get kicked a lot from other people around you and just need to watch your space and make sure if you are a better swimmer to try to get ahead as much as possible and away from the slow or crazy swimmers. I noticed some people even just got up and water ran at the end. Another good thing to practice if you want to take it more seriously is the transitions. Going from water to bike you need to make a quick change. Lots of people have shoes hooked into their pedals and it can be a pain to get out of a wet suit if you are wearing one. Its good to dump a ton of powder in their so it comes off more easily. You also need to get use to the dead legs when you dismount the bike and start to run/walk. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for your legs to come back to life after the swim and the bike.

Thanks Mike. It's been rough, I mean, it could be worse, but you know it seems like a bunch of stuff hit at once. 
Well two glasses of white zinfandel later.... I watched Sideways tonight!
MAN I HATED THE ENDING!!! I hate being left hanging like that! Curses!
I wanted to see him get his woman!
I LOVED the fact that for once there was full frontal male nudity! YES! Ok, I am a perv, can't help it. And he was actually big enough to see...woo hooo! 
It was a quirky little movie, but I did learn a few things about wines, and wine tasting. I know if I lived out there I would be a total drunk everyday! I love wine. I wish I had the opportunity to learn more about it.
At any rate, yes the DIESEL will roar again! I have no doubt!
