Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I hope all of you have had a chance to wind down your work this week so that it gives you the time and space to be with loved ones. Ahead of my holiday break, I was feeling an immense amount of guilt taking nearly three weeks off. The last time I had close to this much time off was when I was in between jobs. It’s nice now to be fully employed and supported in taking the time off and giving myself that mental break from work.

My routine has definitely taken a huge shift! I haven’t had any caffeine since I’ve been home. I’ve also somehow managed an afternoon nap nearly every day. Basically, I’ve reverted back to child status and I don’t hate it. We’re getting in one more full day of writing today after lunch and wrapping presents tonight, but tomorrow I’m going to stay offline. It’s not like any of you will be on here anyways. 🙂
