i don’t know about you, but right around this time is the beginning of what i think of as “end of the year burn-out.” it’s around the time where you might start to mentally check-out in certain areas of your life. i’m sure it has something to do with the fact that the year is winding down, the holidays are gearing up, and people are just ready for a proper breather after 11 months of whatever life happened to throw at them. i’m grateful to be in a position where work pretty much shuts down for the holidays and since i’m not really one to take vacations or extended amounts
