I have felt like I have been all over the place the last week or so. I am sure that y’all have been thinking the same thing. The holidays are just so busy around here. You add in all of the year-end stuff and it can be a mad house sometimes. Not to mention the flu has been making it rounds here the last week or two. It has been nasty but I have been marching on.
There are days when I wish y’all could see me. I sit at my desk in the middle of the night in my pajamas while everyone is asleep attempting to get all of my work caught up. I have plans to take a couple of days off during Christmas so I am working hard to be able to. I am working on updates for A Lucky Grace which I was having some issues with. I still have plenty to do there but ti is the articles that have been keeping me up.
I have spent days researching and working on articles for everything from SEO Company Mississauga to working on some all about the kids. Add in all the holiday gift guide stuff and let me tell you I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. In fact, I REALLY need to update the guide and I promise y’all I will have that done tomorrow. I have plenty more reviews for you coming in the guide this next week. Actually, the next two weeks now that I think about it.
Specking of the holidays, I have been working on getting some shopping done. Plus my older brother’s family is coming in this next weekend to celebrate with us. So I have to cook and get things ready for that. I also need to buy heat tape for pipes in the next day or so. Remember, I told y’all about the laundry room. I am going to get that taken care of before the cold weather is here for more than a day or so.
I was suppose to make pies but I admit that I purchase some that I can heat up to make things easier. Not to mention I still have to pick up four new air mattresses since I discovered a whole in one of mine. I didn’t bother to check the others. They don’t get used often and I saw them on sale. The ones on sale were much better and larger than the ones I currently have anyway.
Sounds like a ton of stuff doesn’t it? So how do I wind down at the end of each day? I have been listening to some books each night before bed. While I am taking my shower and getting myself ready for bed I listen to a few chapters. I have found that doing that allows me to just lose myself without having to look at my tablet to read. I wind down nicely and fall to sleep much easier. I have time during the weekend I will take a long hot bath. It allows me to lose myself. I don’t think about anything all but relaxing. It is heavenly but I admit that I don’t get those as often as I would like.
What do you do to wind down at the end of each day? What about at the end of the week?
