Year end mad rush

Of work - chasing partners, chasing staff, chasing other teams, penning down performance appraisal points, doing up preliminary workplans and budget for new FY, etc

Of Xmas - gifts, gifts, gifts, wrapping, wrapping, wrapping, meet-ups, research for gifts, never-ending list of gifts to get....neighbours, relatives, friends, family...food...

Of packing - if the old doesn't get thrown out, the new can't come in...

Of prepping for the new school year - books, wrapping, uniforms, shoes, stationery, bags, socks, and everything else in between

Of self - trying to set aside time to think, breathe, reflect, plan, and rest...
