Hopefully, this year will be a bit better than last. Last year ended up being the March break that wouldn’t end. And it wasn’t just for those in school.
I generally take a few days off in March. Since I no longer have children at home, it doesn’t have to match with the school break. But I take a few days just to recharge a bit as we start to get toward the end of winter. I’m not one to go south, so that isn’t part of the plan. I just take a few days off.
Last year was a bit strange. I took some time off. And everyone disappeared. When I went back to work, no one else was around. While I was off for a week, the world had shut down. Since I was walking the dog or sitting back with a book, I wasn’t paying that much attention. But the world sort of disappeared while I wasn’t paying attention.
Thankfully, that didn’t happen this year. Not that we’re back to the way things used to be, but things have gotten a bit better. There are still a lot of things that have changed over the past year, but there does seem to be an end in sight.
When you think of how much has changed over the past year, it really is quite remarkable. It almost made me scared to take time off. I stopped paying attention for a few days and the world changed. If nothing else, it has made me check the news when I’m taking time off. Just in case there are things I should know.
Hopefully, we don’t see changes like that again.
