I finished the gift projects for Christmas, which is reassuring. I can sit back and try to enjoy all the festivities now. I will be traveling a lot in the next few days. J and I will be heading up to the temple to celebrate our anniversary, then doing Christmas with my family, then heading back and doing Christmas with his family. I have a writing book called "The Right to Write" by Julia Cameron - one of my favorites - and in one chapter she mentions that things like holidays and long periods of unscheduled time tend to make it harder to write. Routines are good. I can attest that this is true. I have resigned myself to the fact that I probably won't get much writing done until after the holiday celebrations are over. I have gotten a lot of sewing and knitting done, so I have had some creative outlet options. I feel fairly certain that when January rolls around, I will be very ready to get back into a regular writing routine. I think one of my New Year's resolutions will be the one I started early - to write more regularly and prolifically, and to record that in this blog.
As J and I have been discussing what to do to keep our financial heads above water, we have started discussing the possibility of me going back to school yet again - a two year vocational program this time. We have started looking at what options are out there and what might work well for me. I am at the point where I am not sure what I can and cannot do, and I am willing to try anything that might work. I do have a good feeling about getting some more training. I still have a lot to do to look into it further, and that will have to wait until after the holidays, when people are back to their regularly scheduled routines again.
