I suppose it was bound to happen.....all the planning, shopping, prepping, dashing, cooking, celebrating, late nights, hosting of Thanksgiving, plus a whirlwind family trip to San Francisco for the weekend to celebrate my husband's Big Birthday. And then it was right back to work on Monday-I'm still not unpacked.
This morning I hit the wall....feeling achy, slightly feverish, exhausted and generally yucky all around..... hot tea and a cozy blanket STAT! I'll be fine-I just need some rest and to take the pace down to zero
for a day or so.
Can anyone relate?
My crazy agenda has been reduced to nothing....except a lovely comfy bed, a stack of magazines begging to be read, a mug of pomegranate green tea, some fresh mandarin oranges, a fragrant candle and a furious rain storm outside my windows, reminding me exactly how good it feels to be indoors today. I would like to say that my gray cat Jack is keeping me company but I don't think he's even noticed I'm even home. Non the less-it's his regular routine I'm keeping today. Perhaps I'll even get in a cat nap to heal what ails me.....
How about you? Do you have any tips to keep from overdoing it during the holiday season?
We would love to hear them.
We would love to hear them.

Heather,
With this crazy season, it's no wonder you got sick. It's all so much sometimes, I'm amazed we keep up. So glad you are able to savor some cozy time and rest. Rainy days are perfect for staying in. Take care!! Hope you're feeling better soon.

I love the raindrop photo! Hate to say that a cold is a good thing, but you have painted such a cozy lovely image of how you're spending your day... i'd say I hope you recover soon, but not too soon! does that make sense???
Thanks Kim! It's so true-it's always a busy season but seems to be even more so this year. Sounds like the same for you. One day of rest did the trick and I feel good as new.
Thanks for your good wishes. Enjoy your weekend!
Cheers, xx Heather
Hi Anne! Yes, that absolutely does make sense. Only one day of rest and I am feeling good as new. Sometimes we just need a breather to fix what ails us. Thanks for the good wishes.
Enjoy your weekend-hope it's festive!
Cheers, xx Heather
