I confess: I made the most of my past week of vacation. I slept in, wore pajamas until noon and watched a ton of Netflix. Usually I get pretty antsy if I can’t leave the house, but that was not the case this time around. I’m sure the snow had something to do with it. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had that long a period of designated rest with no obligations interrupting it. It was really good for my soul, but getting up for work tomorrow is going to be difficult. So is remembering to write 2014 instead of 2013. And, of course, I can’t send off 2013 without my usual collection of year end lists. (Here’s 2010, 2011 and 2012, if you’re interested). Enjoy!
