The holiday's over

I've been working most of the holiday, with time off only for Christmas Day and New Year's Day. My wife, on the other hand, has been off for two straight weeks, and since I work from home, having her around has been almost like me being on vacation. Eating meals with her... having her wander in to my office to give me a peck on the cheek... and participating in short phone conversations that normally take place between family and friends during the holiday season - these things helped bring a little holiday spirit into my work day.

Today, she heads back to work. So, despite the fact I've been working most of the past two weeks, I guess it will feel like the holiday is finally over.
