I’m away on vacation this week! I’ve few days in Malaysia with the family to unwind. This means it’s not so much about sightseeing for us as much as a period to rest and have a quiet time before taking on the new year.

Lately I’ve been so caught up with work, I don’t know which day of the week it is anymore. The only difference between weekends and weekdays is that I can approach my work more leisurely on weekends. Other than that, I’ve been extremely busy. This also explains this retrospect post on a Monday rather than Sunday.

If there is one thing I wish for this Christmas, it’s not books but more time to read. Work demands a lot of my time, such that I hardly get to crack spines during the week. When I do read, I do so at the expense of sleep. Same goes for blogging. I should be scheduling posts over the weekends but then I’m so tired after training, I sleep away my Saturdays. Sundays I catch up on work I didn’t manage to finish.

Today is the First Sunday of Advent! Christmas is approaching and needless to say, Christmas is what I most look forward to at the moment.

My health has been restored! I am no longer bound to my bed, suffering from a flu. After 10 to 11 days of drowsiness and general miserableness, alleviated by more reading time, I officially declared myself recovered on Thursday. By then my nose was clear and my headaches were gone too. That’s pretty much the best news of the week.
