Survive the holidaze okay?
I did myself, thank you very much for
asking. I was actually able to enjoy a very rare three day weekend,
and at one point Monday morning actually realized that I had an hour
and a half with absolutely nothing to do. As far as I can tell, that
was the first time in over a month where I had an hour and a half
with absolutely nothing to do, so for the first 10 or so minutes of
that hour and a half, I just sat around, stunned by the fact. Then
when I realized the clock was ticking and I’d better enjoy that
hour and a half, I got off my butt and did enjoy it.
It was, in fact, one of my favorite
gifts of the weekend!
Other than that, I’m guessing my
holiday weekend was pretty much like yours. I spent some very
enjoyable time with family members, I ate waaaaaaaaay too much, and I
was able to take care of all kinds of crap around my apartment that
hadn’t been taken care of over the past month. Oh, and I was able
to foist the remaining few dozen of the Christmas cookies off on
people willing to give them a good home.
All in all, a win-win weekend, except for wondering if 2016 would claim another victim Friday night (thankfully, Carrie Fisher pulled through), only to find the year wouldn't give up that easily (George Michael...really, 2016??)
Now I know for some of you, the
weekend’s actually an 11 or 12-day break from reality, but not for
all of us. No, some of us have to go back to work today. In fact,
some of us actually have work extra this week because of the fact
that everyone else is gone for the holidays. But that's okay;
they're the ones who stay at work when I'm spending a summer half-day
playing at the beach.
And trust me—I'd much rather be stuck
working between Christmas and New Year's Day than be stuck at work
when it's warm and the sun is out!
Tomorrow...whether or not I continue a
12-year tradition this weekend. I still haven't decided.
