Samey

Didn't expect to be saying this, and certainly not so soon, but I'm getting a bit fed up of the sickly taste of peanut butter cups every morning...

We did our first Christmassy weekend stuff last week and it all went well, so it's just rinse and repeat today and tomorrow and hopefully we'll see more happy families and cheerful children. The week has been a strange one. Aside from the yuletide fun and games we actually have very little to do at the moment, and I have to say it is very nice, although feeling a little weird. I'm so used to being flat-out busy that it's hard for me to switch off a bit and be paid for doing a lot less; but I'm getting used to it! I've already managed to watch a large portion of my Christmas viewing essentials, I have done ALL of my festive shopping, and I've managed to learn a couple more card tricks by watching tutorials on YouTube. And, by the way, when I say I have done ALL my festive shopping, I mean I have done ALL my festive shopping! I used to roll my eyes at people that got everything done ahead of time, claiming that I need the pressure of a deadline and the thrill of the last-minute rush before I could make any choices, but I have to say it feels great to have it all done and dusted, and my only task gift-wise now is wrapping, which I must confess I am not a fan of. But I'm determined to get ahead with that too, so I'm having all my ordered gifts delivered to work and I'm going to spend a day or two next week and just get it all done in my office.
Right - best I better get on with it. Families are imminent onsite. Go, Rory, GO!!!
