With the holidays for many of us happening this week, please be mindful of people that may need a quick break (like run an errand). I am not in a hostile or miserable situation; just tight quarters with really no plan. I’m an out-of-town guest with a rental call. Everyone just wants to hangout endlessly and that’s more than okay. However, any time an errand comes up (or any chance to get out of the house for a few), I volunteer hoping to get a bit of a break. Every time I do this, I’m told by a “local” family member that they will do it and I should enjoy “doing nothing.” I also realize that others may want to escape for a little bit. Sometimes people just want a break and don’t like feeling stuck. Again, I’m not miserable, but sometimes a break is very needed and that should be offered to your guests.
