Ten days
As of this minute I am off work for ten days.
Ten things that will probably happen during these next ten days (not to be confused with a to-do list because the last thing I want is a list of "musts" while I am on vacation):
1. I will go Christmas shopping for Björn, without him (thus breaking tradition).
2. I will sleep until I wake up every single freaking day.
3. I will lie on the sofa and watch the taped "Lucia train" while sipping hot chocolate and eating little biscuit-thingies.
4. I will read just for pleasure.
5. I will watch movies while lying next to Björn in the new guest-bed section of the new cabin.
6. I will have a traditional American breakfast every single time I feel like it.
7. I will do a bajillion Swedish crosswords.
8. I will spread my wings in the kitchen and try out some recipes I've been saving.
9. I will spend time outside in the snow.
10. I will nap as often and for as long as I feel like doing.
(I will certainly also check my work email a couple of times a day because I know that if I am truly to relax I must feel certain that nothing in there is going to explode before my ten days of luxury are up.)
Did I miss anything?
