Today is the first day of holidays for most teachers and students in Victoria, Australia.
I am sitting in my lounge room watching Bargain Hunt on television, feeling a little pain but a lot of peace.
It is a good time to bring my thoughts together in words. These are my thoughts:
The working year is finished. I don’t have to plan anything right now, but I will have to at some point in the next month.
As exhausted as I was I attended the staff Christmas social function. I dressed up but I’m not sure I looked ok, I think I looked fat and was boring. I was too tired to know.
My son graduated from his postgraduate study on the weekend and it was a great day. Strangely, I really enjoyed the graduation ceremony and the speeches. I am very proud to have a son who achieves highly academically and who cares a lot about others.
My family visitors have returned home and it was lovely to see them as I won’t see them on Christmas this year. I hope they don’t think that I am becoming a sad, tired lump of a person.
My niece is the cutest little thing. I can’t wait for the next baby to arrive.
I have a short manageable to do list for the next few days. But right now I don’t want to move.
In six days I head to England for 3 weeks of adventure. I have no idea how this will go.
My coughing is gradually going away again and I have to feel well by Sunday, cross fingers.
Tea tastes wonderful on holidays.
Cheers to a restful day.
I love the teapot! I hope your cough goes away and that you have a wonderful Christmas and trip, Lisa. Oh and congratulations to your son.

That feeling of peace and the reasons for our joys make the tiredness and pain so much more bearable. Here’s to more days like this!
