Very much agreed that work shouldn't be your life, and that hitting NYC for New Year's sounds like a fun thing to do and something to look forward to. (Hmm. I need to set up some fun things for myself later in the year, too. I've got D*C in a couple of weeks, and in October I'm taking a few three-day weekends for no particular reason, though there's going to be a new tattoo happening on one and maybe a trip to TRF on another weekend.)
One thing that makes me wary, though, is putting off dealing with Horace for too much longer. Like, past the August deadline is only a few weeks, so might as well work around that, but make sure you get it out of the way before the December rush sets in. You want to be completely recovered by New Year's, even if they have to go full-incision -- hell, you'd probably appreciate having your digestion in full working order by Thanksgiving. And October usually has some sort of interesting things going on you might hate missing -- try for September.
