Amazingly, Christmas has now come and gone – and so quickly! We rush forward to the day so much at times and then its here and gone. Hopefully wherever you are, you’ve enjoyed good times with family and friends and have stayed safe and healthy. My daughter and her boyfriend flew south to Cuba on December 24 so we had our family Christmas the night before. Lots of laughs and time to spend with family. It’s always a joy to see the excitement on the young ones’ faces. They now range in age from almost 8 to three and Santa anticipation is still alive and well.
Amid the debris of coloured paper and gift bags, were some amazing toys and goodies for them. But the best form of entertainment ensued when it was discovered that some computer-cleaning gook in a plastic jar made lovely (indelicate) noises when shoved back into its container. I’m not saying who encouraged this activity. Oh yes I am..it was me! Long live Leslie Nielson and his whoopee cushion!
On duty to feed my daughter’s cats and water her plants (I hope that’s the right order) for the next few days, I’ve just returned from making sure Cujo and Ginger are all set for the next 24 hours. And no, that’s not the name of her plants. No doubt they will be glad to see her return New Year’s Day.
Pam managed to book these days between Christmas and New Year as the last of her 2010 vacation days, but yours truly will remain at my post and keep things under control. At least we are closed until Wednesday, so to enjoy a 4 day break is a treat in itself. And the more staff who are taking the time off, the less problems (theoretically) there should be.
Today I’m enjoying some down time with writing and laundry, but as the afternoon wears on, I suspect a nap will be on the agenda as well. The perfect time to curl up with a book and doze off if that happens. Currently I’m reading Dan Brown’s Digital Fortress and am nearly at the end. Next on tap will be the latest Louise Penny instalment – Bury Your Dead - which I’m most anxious to start. My plan tomorrow is to be working on Body Perfect as well. Hence the blog and laundry today, so that tomorrow will hopefully be a clean slate.
2010 is fast winding down – what will 2011 bring us? I didn’t get the crystal ball for Christmas so I have no answer, but really, I don’t think I’d want to know. Sometimes ignorance is truly bliss.
So with one last holiday to go for the year, I wish you all a very Happy New Year – may your troubles be small, your successes recognized and above all – lets be kind to one another.
Cheers!
Liz
