The craziest work year is over and I am struggling to relax and switch off and do more than go between projects, reading and napping. I also have the worst hayfever I have had in years.
I ended up working 60 hour weeks not including the 20 plus hours of travel time each week, a combination of the job getting busier and disasters with computer hardware and software. The software has been renewed, (not an upgrade but brand new) and I finally got an assistant two weeks before the vacation. I am hopeful 2016 will at last become a better balance of work and life outside work!
Every project during the year was done at a frenetic pace, such as this hat that my daughter ordered based on something she had seen Taylor Swift wear. The alpaca and silk wool was a dream to knit though rather expensive.
Glad you finally got an assistant! Is Xanthe home for Xmas?
ReplyDeleteYes an assistant and what's more a capable one who has the ability to learn and remember what she is taught so it is going to be good. No Xanthe is not home.
