Today I’ve sort of come to a stop. The flu has abated, but I am in that energyless washed out post flu stage. So be it.<\/p>\n
So I’ve made up my mind that I’ve bought enough presents (and if people think they haven’t got enough, well tough), sent enough cards, not baked enough (but I’m hoping the girls might take over on that one), or cleaned enough, but that’s it. It’s enough.<\/p>\n
I need to have some recovery time that is guilt free and this is the Christmas gift I’m giving to myself. I’m going to do a mammoth online food shop, set the kids to work, make hubbie pick up anything last minute in town and for the next couple of days I’m putting everything on hold.<\/p>\n
I might knit a little, or sew, or read…but only if I want to. Mostly I’m thinking I’m going to sleep, drink tea, take eucalyptus or lavender baths and recover. I would like to be in a fit state to enjoy Christmas.<\/p>\n
So that’s it. There may be a rebellion, but as I shall in all probability be asleep, I don’t really care \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
