Merry Christmas to you all! I worked up until Xmas Eve, we did a deep clean of the factory for end of year. My feet were throbbing and my biceps were burning! Then yesterday went shopping for the last minute stuff, wrapped gifts, prepped food, made cheesecake. This morning we did the presents, I cooked lunch, ate cheesecake and then bailed on going out to rellys this afternoon in favour of a couple of hours sleep! Must've needed it. My kids and ExMrP saw the effort I made and they all thanked me privately and individually for making Christmas. I did it! I know a few days ago I was stressing about my workload (you guys were really supportive ๐ฅน๐) but once I vented and got over my own performance anxiety I fucking rocked it ๐ And then crashed lol.
It's great to hear you were able to pull off Christmas so well and that everyone noticed. It's the little acknowledgements like that which make all the difference
I love that your efforts were acknowledged, you are such an amazing person for pulling that off, but also knowing you needed some time out. Merry Christmas, Peeler, you're so great!!
You are amazing. ๐ฝ
