I went back to work.
Asusming my head doesn't explode sometime next week, this means that my work schedule over these three weeks will have been the following: four days no work, followed by one day work, then another four days of no work, followed by twelve straight days at work. I'd call the Mike Hyun rule on myself, except that I don't seem to mind -- those two days off last were a lot of fun, and the work this weekend is with a particular goal in mind, one that's actually pretty motivating. Come back with your shield or on it, as they used to say.
