I completely understand about burning the candle at both ends when you are 50 in the middle! Enjoy the eye of the storm for a few days. I, on the other hand, am looking forward to putting the 'fantasy' of the holidays behind and getting on with life, whatever that may hold.
Take the quiet time to put the reality into a new perspective. What it may, could, would, can hold for you. Do something totally old school and make a list of what you wish to achieve for yourself in the New Year. Mine is in my mind, but it's there.
Have a restful week. We'll both be needing Geritol with a nipple on the bottle! LOL
