Ours was the opposite. The whole family had a crazy cold the 2nd week of December. And my kindergartener (virus vector, for short, we love him), recovered in time for the last week of school before vacation. But he was in school until the Friday before Xmas and then went back yesterday. So we reached around trying to get all the things we normally do in 1-1/2 weeks, in about 5 days.
Holidays and weekends for me now I have kids are way more exhausting than work. More enjoyable, but jesus fuck I dont get a break. At least at work the expectations on me are clear and I get to take breaks where nobody bothers me.
I would have been more relaxed if I just had two regular weekends with nothing to do rather than having had three extra days off that were spent traveling and going to see our families…
Holidays are exhausting in itself
Yeah, I feel barely any better than before I left. And this year was a chiller one.
The year is two days old?
I meant the holiday season was relatively relaxing compared to previous years.

Soooooo I’m guessing you aren’t feeling refreshed? 🙃
Hope everyone is healthy and you get some quality downtime too!
