I need a break from my break
I’ve been staying away from my office for nearly a week and I still have until next Monday before I return.
You’d think I’d be well rested and full of verve, but my verve is on low. The holidays have sucked every ounce of verve I had saved up. Baking, wrapping, opening, cleaning, making a mess, and then cleaning again, and baking some more can take it out of you.
I still don’t mind–even with my shortage of verve–I LOVE this time of year minus the cold weather. I love my wreath, I love my tree with the handmade tree skirt and angel on top (both made by my grandmother), I love cooking dinner for loads of people, and drinking coffee at night because I it’s not a big deal if I stay up a little later. I have plenty of new books to read.
This weekend, we’ll be dismantling all the decorations I love so much. It will be disheartening for an hour or two, but I’ll bake some chocolate chip cookies to cheer us all up. And then sit down to write my new year’s resolution list which will include eating less chocolate chip cookies.
