In the Kai Calendar, the week between Christmas and New Year's is Void Week. It's a time to just exist without any expectations, schedule, or shame. You can sleep all you want, eat all you want, read all you want, fart around online all you want, do all those things, do none of them. Nothing matters except the Void, and when you come out of it at the end, you will either be rested or really fucking tired of not having a schedule.
I'm already pretty tired of not having a schedule. ^^()
CG has been having so much fun in the snow; we went sledding, had a snowball fight (or two), built some snowmen, rolled down the hill. It's all melting today, but we got four good days in. Now the girls are going out on bikes -- it's 44F degrees? I guess CG will find out how much colder it is on a bike, hah.
I've been sleeping a lot, too. IDK if it's getting over this cold still or if it's the dark or just an overall mental need to relax. Last night I got almost 10 hours, which is just wild. Closed my eyes and opened them over nine hours later. How. I'm usually a seven hours and good person.
Haven't been doing much else, aside from hanging out with family, playing with the kids, making marshmallows, building snowmen etc etc. Which I guess isn't that little, but I haven't done anything productive. It's nice to just exist, which is easier to do at someone else's house because I don't have the usual household chores looming over my head, or the Things I've Been Putting Off For Entirely Too Long, like... the front yard. And the back yard. The whole yard. Or organizing the closets or getting rid of Stuff or cleaning the garage or or or
Basically, it's nice to actually have a break from the endless necessary doing. When I'm home, there's always something that I could be doing: making breakfast, cleaning up after breakfast, picking up the table, putting away toys, playing with the kids, weeding, laundry, etc etc etc and here I can't do like, 90% of that. I don't even have to plan what's for dinner. It's... nice.
But I do miss home. And I miss the sun. I love the cold and the snow, but gosh, I really can't handle the dark.
We head home tomorrow. And then it's almost immediately back to the grind. So I'd better enjoy doing nothing while I yet can.
