The holiday season is here! Taking a week-long break to let my relax by not having to make something every day.


I will be taking a break from November 27 to December 2. During this time, I won't be blogging or doing Month of Blogging activities. I need to unplug, let my brain relax, and also start preparing for the winter weather and end-of-year accounting.
That said, I will do at least 15 minutes of work daily on the current projects to keep them on low simmer. This is to maintain continuity of my plans fresh in my memory. If I go more than 2 days without reviewing an active project, it's much harder to remember what I was going to do next.
The general plan:
- spend 15 minutes a day in the morning doing review of next steps
- prioritize health care planning for 2026
- use end-of-year accounting to help with health care planning
- spend time with family
- physical household chores, holiday decorations, and space improvements
- play around with technology and stuff if it happens to be interesting
Happy Thanksgiving! I'll see y'all in a week! I have a LOT of decompressing to do!
