I’m sad to say I am off for only one more day. I am one with one on one, one, eleven. Rather apropos wouldn’t you say?
I almost feel guilty for feeling so good. Note I said almost… It does feel good to feel good however. And I feel rested and rejuvenated. I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I felt rested… I guess that just goes to show you what two weeks of getting more than six hours of sleep each night will do for one.
It’s been a great two weeks and after tomorrow we are back to our normal schedules. Oh, how I am going to miss my time off. Of course, someone has to pay the bills so it’s back to work like it or not.
It’s been the best Christmas break in three years. Of course I have had my moments and missed my sweet Lisa but overall it’s been pretty darn enjoyable. Even the rain that has been falling most of the day has not dampened my spirits.
We have had many good meals with wonderful friends. We have stayed up late most nights and been slow to rise each morning. Most days have been productive but overall stress free. I feel more balanced than I have in a long time. I was able to find a balance between working in the shop and around the farm with taking some time out to play and just enjoy my time off. That’s a triumph for me, as I tend to be so all-or-nothing with so many things in my life.
As with a lot of things over the past two weeks, I have broken with tradition and I am not taking down the Christmas tree this weekend. Matt said it’s too depressing taking down the tree and I agreed. There’s just something about coming home to a warmly lit Christmas tree. It makes the house feel warm and comforting. So, we decided we would leave it up until next weekend.
Maybe next weekend we’ll have a late New Years celebration with little bonfire down near the barn. We can toss the tree on it for a grand finale. Who knows, I might even drink a beer!
