Stepping into the unknown

Three weeks away from work, and lovin it.  We took the caravan away for a few days this week to lake cootharaba.  See pic.  Other than that,   i've been trading a few shares, and catching up on jobs around the house that needed doing.   I've been going to the gym regularly which is good for the mind and body.    I'm thinking there's not much to be achieved before the new year, so relax time.  I'll be boiling a fruit cake tomorrow for Christmas, that should be interesting.  The fruit has been soaking in Bundaberg run for a few days.   Have a great Xmas break.  

 Houston, we have separation... I've now officially been away from work for 1 week.  My first week was great, but upon reflection, maybe I tried to do too much.    I was up early each day and catching up on jobs around the house that needed doing.   I kept myself very busy.    So now we are in week 2, and my plan for this week is to do less.  Relax, read, play with the racecar, but slow down .  We are a few weeks out from Christmas.  I'm planning to recreate my grandma's boiled pudding recipe for xmas day with the family.   These types of simple things have gone by the wayside in previous years due to being busy.   I've joined a local gym and  been attending every couple of days with my son.    This is a great outcome, to be able to spend time with my son on a regular , unrushed basis.    I have been trading stocks recently and looking to increase this.   This starts with self education.  Am I missing work yet?   No way.    There's a whole world opening up to me as
