I said it on my podcast on Thursday but I am announcing that I am taking the next two days off. Of course, this is hitting after the actual holiday, but I don’t want to commit myself to getting content up so close to the holiday. The rest of the week is already scheduled to be posted to last out the week beginning on Wednesday.

As I have said many times, I stub out and do a lot of prep before the day that the post actually publishes. I have lots of ideas in the queue but there is so much dependency on getting things in the right sequence that we just have to wait and let things unwind a little bit before I can start writing new stuff. I am not trying to be cryptic but I am talking about Atlas Shrugged. But I am also full up on Christmas activities at the moment and don’t really have the time to do the necessary pre-work. That being said, I will need to spend my uptime this week preparing for another holiday and that is New Years (next week).

I didn’t mention it but we did pass a milestone last week. This is something that I look forward to each year and that is Winter Solstice. This means that we are on the upside of daylight increasing each day. Of course, we wont notice it until February but it is something to be optimistic about because it just feels better to be on the upswing.

End Your Programming Routine: With that, it seems like a perfect time to just take a couple days off. You can spend your time playing with your new Christmas toys and enjoying time with your family, watching movies or sports or even drinking yourself senseless instead of checking in with me.
