I can't believe I am on vacation

[avrelia]

Seriously. Just sitting here and pondering whether I should check my work email. I know it will make me unhappy and worried, so I hold on, but the thought that I should check it and maybe call the office keeps nagging me. I want the working stuff to flow smoothly without me, and I know pretty well that I can stay worried about it for the whole two weeks of vacation. and I just want to rest. the last weeks were downright crazy, and I don't think I functioned as a sane person over that time. Oh well. I am lazy enough to talk myself into not doing anything, but I still will worry...

on to the less worrisome: husband is on vacation as well, and we are planning some holiday travel south of the border. For several days hotels are booked, but we are giving ourselves licence to do what we please and see what the fancy strikes us, with the idea to return sometime before New Year.

I am finally sending my holiday cards - I had to energy to write them during the last weeks and spent this weekend frantically trying to write something different to everyone. Pity I didn't have any cards from Russia left, so they wouldn't be as weird as usual.

I've got a card from the_royal_anna on Friday! yay!

and here is my holiday stocking. It's a very sad, almost empty stocking...
