respoftwWhat is it about the week between Christmas and New Year that seems to last an entire month?
I only worked one day this week. We were supposed to close at 1pm on Monday but the heating and hot water in the office wasn't working so we closed early at 10.30. Unfortunately, I had just sent off instructions to the bank for some money transfers and had to wait around in the freezing office until the bank phoned me back for the security check. Still, I got home by noon so it wasn't too bad. George and I spent the rest of Christmas Eve watching Christmas films and cuddling on the couch which was lovely.
Christmas Day was a day of two halves. I had a relaxing day with George; we opened our presents, visited his parents, cooked and then stuffed our faces with food. It was awesome. Then, I went to my Mum's in the evening where everything was loud and very focussed (as it should be) on my three year old niece.
Present wise, I did pretty good. Mostly skincare products from family (can you tell I'm in my mid-30s and only now realising that I should probably take better care of my skin?) and money. My Mum got my ticket for the Strictly Come Dancing tour in February which will be fun. We usually go every year but missed out on tickets last year. George got me 2 (yes, 2) Nightwing statues. My shelf of Nightwing merch will officially need to expand now. He also got me the Frightened Rabbit cross necklace. Scott Hutchison's death hit me hard and 75% of the proceeds for the cross is going to the mental health charity his family are setting up in his memory which is a really nice idea. The crosses have sold out (George managed to secure one from the actual site thankfully) and are being sold on ebay for stupid money which makes me really mad.
George went back to work on Boxing Day while I was off for the rest of the week. I read somewhere once that the week between Christmas and New Year should be spent doing absolutely nothing and I've really embraced that! With the exception of a trip to the hairdressers on Friday I've barely left the house. I caught up on all the SGA Secret Santa fics (still have one more to read) and watched all four series of Schitt's Creek on Netflix.
I'm back to work on Thursday next week and get to spend Monday/Tuesday with George which will be nice. Wishing you all a happy 2019 when it comes!
Zero writing done. But I have plans for 2019. First up is to finish the personal trainer John fic that has been sitting in my wip folder for months, after that I might go back to Three's Company... I'll be posting my 2019 writing goals soon. Sadly, I didn't accomplish all of my 2018 goals (30k word count, why do you elude me?) but I got most of them so I count that as a win!
