usually caught myself in catch-22 situation
during December where
i wished to work more to end the year
with proper looking figures
and also to rest more
*
pre-Covid
I usually stopped travelling
during the second half of the month
more of like a hibernation period
to sort myself out after a long year
*
but last December
i was away from 19-30 December
the longest time away from home
since i moved in 3 years ago
*
combining family trip, staycation,
friend meet-up, last but not least,
two final concerts to wrap the year
*
given the short peak in early December
the figures didn’t look too bad
to cover my holidays spending
*
took the whole day on 31 Dec
to sort out my sales, personal spending etc.
nothing beats the feeling of
finally being home to end the year
before a tsunami hit in January
