Probably the best part was this weekend.

No inlaws, no work, no things to be done by / at a certain time.

Had about 10 hours sleep the other day...

Got some chores done, took a crate of bottles to the recycling as it looks like we're a pub outside our house from the 2~3 weeks of xmas drinking

And now... work starts again tomorrow. ๐ŸŽ‰

Sounds like a great weekend! It's such a great feeling when there's no chores to do and no responsibilities! These moments are so incredibly rare for me that I end up feeling guilty when I do take advantage of them!

Yeah, exactly... was probably 11am when I had that feeling that I should be doing something else...

Mind you... too many days like that and I'd go mad and do something crazy... I really do not know how people cope with retirement.
