Our lives are so different, Beth. Winter has always been hectic for me with looming deadlines and not enough hours. I start dreading it in early November and don't get any relief until mid-February. Even when we had big dinners and parties during the holidays, I was working insane hours. I so wanted to be retired, so I could enjoy the holidays at a slower pace and be able to relax with Ben. Now, once I get through this winter, I'll just be alone. One more reason to hate Winter. Have a cup of tea for me.
