Settling down

Ah, the glorious weekend after Christmas; I can sleep in and there is no need to cook or feel stressed. One daughter is away visiting her boyfriend's family, and my other daughter is dog sitting, on site until Sunday. My son is preparing for a trip to Pennsylvania to enjoy some winter camping. Thus, I am happily in "hermit" mode with the dogs, surviving on leftovers from the holiday feasting. The house is quiet and I am content to putter about just enjoying the lights on the paper tree, doing a bit of knitting and writing (obviously) without any time constraints or demands. Such luxury! I might even pop a movie into the laptop...
