Three days off starts today

201015Nov

by Grace

I’m writing this blog post from home and I will try to actually write something substantial. Or not. I don’t really blog at home because it seems that I can’t – I do all my blogging during breaks at work and nothing at home.

Today starts the three days Eid holidays for me and the rest of the UAE working population. Some have Monday-Wednesday and then back to work on Thursday while government officials and other luckier private sector employees won’t resume to work until next Sunday. Lucky, lucky bunch.

So I’ve got nothing laid out during this three days holiday. I’ve so far cleaned the house and the wardrobe closet and that’s pretty much it. I wanted to run outside but surprise of all surprises, I woke up from a short nap to the sound of RAIN on my room window! If you live in a very dry place where it rains only a few days per year, that is a very nice thing to wake up to. 

OK, nothing substantial – so I might not be blogging until I go back to the office on Thursday. Hope you all have a great week!

Since I have all sorts of plans this week, I bet I will. Especially on Wednesday, which is my B-day! 52! Ha!
Have a nice time off with Hubby and Pristine and your Mom!

Have a restful ‘break-from-work’!
I have so many things to do. Thanksgiving is coming so fast. Sigh!

Aw, rain already? You hardly got the pool going! I meant to tell you it snowed here last week! ;) Nothing sticking, but it was definitely white coming down!
We just got done with a 4 day weekend and traveling. It was nice, but traveling is most times more exhausting than just staying home!

we went to Abu Dhabi on Tues- was fun but a bit tiring. it’s always nice to just lounge at home and spend quality time with family. so, this weekend, I really plan that we just relax at home :)

I’m sure you had a great break from work. Staying at home, eating your self-cooked food and having a long sleep is really a good holiday treat for yourself. But sometimes it’s also good to go outside and enjoy with some friends.
