During the past seven days I have probably done more work around my house than I have done during the last twelve months! But, I have enjoyed it, whilst learning from the challenges that have occurred during this time. Today I managed to give the section a good "manicure", mowing the lawns and giving the surrounds a general "spruce-up". My daughter has been away on holiday during this time so I am "feavourishly" working to complete all the things that need done before she comes home this weekend!
I must admit that this period, even though I have been productive with my time off, has been a restful one allowing me to recouperate! I will be a new man come the end of my holiday, fully rested and ready for another few months before my next break, probably over christmas. Thats what I've needed, I now realise, this time has been "time-out" and I'm sure that my daughter will be relishing her time away with her mother as well. Things were getting a little "testy" prior to her trip away and I'm sure that things will be on a more "even" keel when she returns!
I'm sure that other people will have been, or will be, in the same predicament as I and I'd be interested to see how many people share my feelings on the matter of "Time-Out"???
