Glorious VACATION!
Ahh… a glorious vacation away from the daily hustle and bustle of what would normally be a day full of phone calls, emails, or meetings. Don’t get me wrong. I love what I do in the office but it’s just so nice to catch up on my reading, spend the day at home and do some organizing that’s been bugging me for months now: organizing our growing DVD collection, organizing the files in my external hard drive… basically things that I usually fore go on a usual working day.
I had a very very pleasant Christmas with my family. We didn’t really catch up on much really but just being around them gives me a feeling of comfort only families can do. Sure, we’ve had our squabbles and our petty bad feelings toward each other… What family doesn’t have any of those? But around Christmas, forgiveness is always abundant. Many things are forgotten and all is forgiven (until the next round, that is.).
My husband had to go to work today but it’s still okay. It’s just the production department that came in and it’s actually fun for him. Though having us in the back of our heads isn’t really entirely relaxing (he checks up on us here at home), he was still able to cook dinner when he got home. A clear indicator that he wasn’t so stressed at work.
I thought I was going to get sick, too. But thankfully, I didn’t do anything that’s particularly taxing and I got to sleep. Sleep… I’ve forgotten how sweet it could be. During working weeks, I normally take sleep for granted and because I have nothing to worry about the next day, my dreams nowadays are sweet and not filled with usual dreams about work (though I get my great ideas during the time before I wake up… I just hope I remember them half of the time).
I know I’ll be rejuvenated by the time we start work on the January 5. It’ll be a new year and it’ll be time to roll up my sleeves and get down to business. But for the meantime, I have a week to enjoy this glorious vacation to do whatever I please, to catch up with my reading, to dream sweet dreams. I hope you’re all enjoying your vacations as much as I am!
