It’s here!

So this morning I opened my eyes and woke to this: Can't beat that as the view from your bed on a Christmas morning! My SIL's parents went to a huge effort to keep the magic alive with the SIL's dad making a landing strip so Santa would know where we were! We tracked Santa the night before …

#NoMascaraThursday or the one where I had an epiphany

So, the day after I made like a hippopotamus and wallowed has come and gone.  Today it was about getting back on the metaphorical horse which saw me ultimately back at my desk and plowing through more work than I'd done in a while (coz you know, shitty headspace and all that).  What has been most surprising …
