It's a a very chilly morning here in the Valley of the Sun.. only 35.. and I'm snuggled under the covers, not wanting to get up. One of the more difficult things about Christmas being on a weekend is that I've had the whole weekend off. Which can be a nice thing, but when you're a working girl, that means weekends are normally spent doing the usual chores that need to get done in order to get through another work week.
I decided to reflect on things - or maybe things decided for me. I'm not a people person, and when I'm busy with a normal week, sans holidays and such, it works for me. I'm bombarded with people all day long at work; when I get home and have a few hours to myself, the last thing I want is more people. Granted, those would be people of my own choosing, not forced upon me. But that's for another day. It's just more difficult during the Holidays to endure solitude. Well meaning folks ask "What are you doing for Christmas?" and if you don't have a ready made comeback, or dare to tell them the truth, they look at you with pity or sadness. Don't feel bad for me, please. This is of my own choosing!
Being a Sunday, I will probably do my laundry for the week, and clean the house a bit. Perhaps work on some photography, and if I'm lucky -- and it warms up -- spend some time reading a good book in the warm desert sunshine.
I hope all of you enjoy your Holidays, spend time with family or loved ones, those who mean the most to you. Joyeux Noel!
