I thought that Christmas will be this magical time. Suddenly all my troubles would go away and all I would think about would be decorating the Christmas tree (we got a really fabulous one this year), cooking and celebrating.
Working for an NGO combined with a demanding master's studies, a high volume of lab work and a job has been taking its toll on me. So I hoped I would be able to take a step back, relax and just do nothing for a few days. I was stupid to think that. Now I'm sick (virus received with compliments from my brother), there is plenty of work to be done by the end of the year and no time to do it. Gotta love the "holidays".
