I might go back on my word but I plan not to open up my laptop over the weekend because I’ve been posting to my blog every day for the last 30 days. I need a break.
At the moment I feel really tired. It’s quite warm here at the moment and I’m going through a stage where I’m not sleeping very well at night – partly due to warm nights and partly due to the moon cycle. Not sure about the moon cycle bit but I’m sure that’s got something to do with it. Plus there’s been the stresses of parenting over the last month that only really started full-on when I started filling in for my boss for a few weeks and when I had extra work to do at home.
And now it’s the Christmas stress of trying to decide what to buy everyone and sorting out what we’re going to do.
It’s not all bad of course. With Christmas comes holidays for me and school holidays for JJ.
Congrats on surviving NaBloPoMo! Do some Christmas shoppiing as your reward.
It’s snowing, sleeting, and blowing here. Warm? What’s that?
Shopping causes the most stress as we work against a budget and a deadline to find perfect presents. There is a nice story by the UK Stress Management Society appearing in today’s issue of eMaxHealth on Christmas Stress and how to cope with it. It’s at http://www.emaxhealth.com/32/8450.html
