After more than two weeks of not writing anything, finally I am back in the mood for blogging. I think my brain and body needed a complete relaxation. I was planning to do a lot of things during my break, but somehow I was not in a mood to do many things on my to-do list. Surprisingly I don't feel bad about it at all.
I read several books and tried to minimize my time online. I bought two books just before Christmas. I rarely buy new books, and these are the only two I bought this year.

I finished making curtains for my bedroom. That's the only thing that I ticked off of my to-do list.
I did a lot of cooking as well. Cooking really relaxes me - especially when I make one of my favorites, or something entirely new.

I went out for lunch and dinner with friends a couple of times. I will be back at work next week. Once I came out of my 'don't want to do anything' mood I have been preparing for the new semester. I should be able to finish all paper work by tomorrow.
One more day and then it's 2018! I can't believe how fast the time flies.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I agree you should never worry about not feeling like doing anything we all need a break sometimes. The books look interesting, are you thinking of keeping chickens?
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
I want to have chickens, but it's a long term goal. So I thought I'd better start learning about chickens now. :)
DeleteNil, I see you have Sarah's book. That should be a really good read and you will learn lots. Have a wonderful New Year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too Chel.
DeleteYes, Sarah's book is so interesting, I'm learning a lot.
It's good you were able to relax and decide not to do very much Nil, I'm sure your working life is busy enough. Wishing you all the best for 2018.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nanette. Happy New Year to you !
DeleteI hope your Bollywood quilt is coming along well.
Great book! Glad you were able to "defuse" for a while. I think we all need that sometimes. Happy New Years 🍷🎉❄️
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well , Lady Locust 🎉
DeleteHappy New Year to you too
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year earthmotherwithin!
DeleteHi Nil, I totally understand about needing to take a break. I felt the same way. It's healthy to recharge and relax. I used to have chickens. I love them. They are surprisingly easy pets, and they are so smart! Your curtains flow so beautifully. It's great to read your blog again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephenie.
DeleteActually I do feel all recharged now after the little break. :)
If you don't feel bad about taking a break, then surely that means you NEEDED a break. Welcome back.:-) I hope you are eventually able to get chickens. Fresh eggs are delicious!
ReplyDeleteYes Priscilla I think I really needed a break. I feel a lot better now. :)
