Thankful for a Holiday Week... but not a Monday

It’s a new week, Zone Base readers — but not just any new week. It’s a holiday week! I’m really looking forward to the time off work and getting some rest while enjoying time with the Mrs. and family.

It’s actually Sunday night as I’m writing this. Working overnight like I do, I usually have to work the Sunday night before a big holiday to offset the week a little. It’s not fun, but… it’s not fun. Adulting sucks. Fortunately, it’s a short work week, so at least it’s worth it.

I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was pretty short, but still enjoyable. Had a fun dinner Saturday afternoon at Outback Steakhouse with the Mrs. and my mom. Got out to do some Christmas shopping, too. Black Friday deals started early at a lot of stores, and I managed to snag a great discount on a few things!

Sunday morning, the Mrs. and I went out and bought a new Christmas tree for our living room. We’ve been using the same flocked one for a few years now, and she wanted to mix it up with something that had a little extra color. It’s a big one, too — so, as usual, I’ll be putting the star on top!

Since Thanksgiving is this week, we did our grocery shopping in-store for a change instead of delivery. I’m already looking forward to smelling the turkey cooking Thursday morning while we watch the parade.

It’s probably safe to say many of you won’t be reading as much this week — but for those of you worldwide who do check in every day… thank you so much. It honestly means a lot to see my large international audience come in regularly to see what I’ve posted.

I’ll be on holiday this week enjoying a break from my normally hectic schedule, so posting will be a bit limited. However… I’ve got something BIG coming to help make up for my absence.

Thank you all for reading — every single one of you. Please don’t forget to share with your friends, and mutual high fives, everyone!
