Family Life

Yes, OK, so maybe the photo is a little misleading. The sun isn’t shining from a clear blue sky, the grass is covered by a foot of snow, and I’m definitely not out there lying down in shirt sleeves. But the picture captures the essence of where I am: I’m on holiday! A week and a half, to be precise. Back to work on January 2. But ah! The bliss of no fixed schedule!

This morning after breakfast we sat around the table and sang Christmas carols, on a whim. It’s Saturday, when I wouldn’t be going to work anyway, but it felt like a holiday. We had to do the weekly grocery shopping today, and my laptop died this morning, so there were still reminders of normal life. But who cares. I’m on holiday!
