Little Pleasures, Big Plans
Thu Dec 23 2004

Well, it is the last day of work for this year…Nice quiet day. There are only few of us in the office today. Time for sorting out all little things, that have been always put aside “till better times”…Time for finishing off food left from office Christmas gathering in the beginning of this week. Sweet death by mince pies….Time to go home and finally realise it’s a holidays...

My gift to myself this Christmas will be a pleasure of throwing my alarm into the corner of a closet. So that I can never hear it for these 2 weeks. So that I can start a day in a different time zone…that’s what always happened when I sleep with no alarm set – the awakening would be somewhere around midday GMT…The constant lack of sleep these last months really made me too edgy in... everything…so it’ll be a good thing if I’d manage to catch up there. Anyway, I’m glad that we have no plans for holidays, except from those house decoration things that need to be finished. But no visits, no guests, no social duties… Too good to believe it’s gonna really be this way. But I shall see. And I shall certainly try my best. I intend to finally have good healthy holidays by just staying at home…

It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones [Jean Webster]

    Hahaha, well I guess I should have expected you to show me up... that'll teach me to challenge you! "Let it Snow" will never be the same to me again! Thanks for the great laugh... now I have to go convince my colleagues I'm not crazy for laughing my head off in my office all by myself....


    Sounds like a nice calm final day at work for you...nothing like what I expect tomorrow will be like here (with people bringing in their dogs and their children, it'll be a zoo!). I wish you a well deserved quiet and peaceful holiday, my friend.

    Seems to me the true Spirit of Christmas has gotten lost in all the hurly-burly of buying buying buying.

    I know the tradition is to remember the gifts the Magi brought, but it's gotten so overblown, I'm glad I'm a Jew.

    I'm glad to hear that you're going to have a quiet, peaceful, relaxing holiday.

    Enjoy.

    Shalom
