Holiday Time Off

Time off from work during the Christmas Holidays! This is something entirely new for me. In retail, this is the time of year that you do not take off of work. And for 15 years, I worked my tail off to help many people have a wonderful holiday.

This year, both Julie and I had vacation time available and at least for me, my customers (retailers) are likely too busy to want to hear from me. Since Christmas and New Years day are both on Mondays this year, I took five days off which ends up being 10 days of no work. I don't know if I will be able to handle it!

We have decided to spend some of our time off going room-by-room, organizing and cleaning. We started yesterday with my bedroom. Since I have lost so much weight, most of my clothes no longer fit me, even newer clothes that I have bought throughout the summer. I have a pile of nice clothes as high as my door handle that will be going to Good Will next week. I guess this is a good thing. I just am not looking forward to buying more clothes. I am going to hold off as long as I can because I have a goal to loose another 15-20lbs.
