These past few days I’ve been trying to think of something really awe inspiring to say about Thanksgiving. I’ve been thinking of all the things I’m thankful for, like supportive friends and health that’s reasonably good, all things considered.
But, the truth is I’m not feeling awe inspiring. What I’ve been most thankful for these past few days was four consecutive days off! It’s been like a little version of heaven. HPSland has been pretty settled, and I actually managed to make it through a 24-hour period without worrying about something associated with work. I’ve slept a lot, and eaten too much, and enjoyed having Ryan around. I went for a nice walk this afternoon in the sun.
I had hoped that after four days off I’d feel rested, but honestly, I feel as fatigued as ever. Oh well, I really did enjoy the mental break if nothing else.
Tomorrow I have to go back. It’s going to be a tough next few weeks. We’re short staffed, as always, and we can’t wiggle around too much with the next deadline because the magazine has to be at an event. I’m dreading the push, the rush, the craziness that I know the next few weeks will bring. It’s just been so, so, so nice to sit in my living room and listen to soothing music and read!
Mr. Boom Boom went away for the holiday so it’s been so wonderfully peaceful! I can’t remember the last time I had four days at home that didn’t involve sickness. I could get used to this.
