Just looked at an email brochure for a Lindblad tour of Scotland that looks fabulous! Only problem is that it's about $7000 per person not including airfare. Nice to dream. Getting tired of being in bed plenty of time but not sleeping very well. Want to get better! Had a call last night but it was easily dealt with, even though I did have to go to the ER briefly. Made it worth not taking any sick time this week so I will get time and a half for my time. I would sure be happy if that was it for the week. Plan for the day is laundry, make turkey soup, take down Christmas decorations, and end with watching the Packer game from the couch before bed. Laundry mostly in control, turkey carcass started on the stove. Dealt with a simple page on call. Shower done. Lunch in progress. Tired. Took me three tries to get a nap in, but I've finally done it. First one was interrupted quickly by the page, second try by guilt at not starting the soup. Now I've napped about an hour and thinking the de-Christmasing will definitely not be completed today and lucky to even start. Rest is just more important. Got the boxes down from the attic and a few smaller items put away. Will tackle the tree tomorrow if not too tired. All veggies cut up and sauteeing prior to adding to the stock. Soup will be ready before game time. Did it! Finished soup and managed to stay vertical to eat a bowl. Staying awake for the game may be challenging. But it's good that I get a rest day falling on a Saturday. Hope there are no more calls.
