Today is the last day of holidays in our household so tomorrow we’ll return to our more normal routines.  Earlier rising will be one of the hardest things, that and quitting the holiday eating regime.  I’m lucky enough to be able to be flexible in the way I work so I’m “off work” for all of January although I’ll be clearing the decks in my office and setting myself up for the rest of the year.  I’ve also a list of projects that I want to complete around the house and garden.  It won’t all be work (but don’t tell my husband) as I have a few personal photography projects I want to kick start in advance of me starting the next photography class next month. The thought of several more weeks of freedom is exciting even if things will probably be harder work than if I was actually back at work!
