I interrupt this regularly scheduled Christmas Countdown to bring you some exciting news. I am on two days leave. That’s right. TWO WHOLE DAYS in the middle of the week no less. It’s scandalous really. After working the whole weekend, I was still recovering from my tired and cranky of last week so in a fit of something (pique perhaps?) I decided to use up some carer’s leave. It’s not that I won’t be doing work things but I will no feel obligation to spend the whole day at the computer. I might get some Christmas shopping done. I might go out to lunch. And coffee. I might actually get to fold and put away three weeks of washing. I might get out my Christmas decorations. I might do lots of things. Or I might have a nap, lie on the lounge and do some reading. Who knows? So far I have had a sleep-in and eaten breakfast. If my life was a Facebook game I’m sure that would get me past the first level.
