As expected, my holiday time over the Christmas break was very limited. The shop shut down and the staff went home for Christmas on December 20th. I worked the weekend of December 21 and 22, as well as December 23 and Christmas Eve. I took Christmas Day off, but returned to work on Boxing Day as well as December 27 and 28.
The girls and I headed out to Nordegg from December 29 to January 2. Anna and Hailey came home with me on January 2 but Margarit and Helena stayed out at the cottage a little longer. They actually ended up staying out there until January 4th. I returned to work on January 3 and will continue to work every day until at least January 10. I am in the process of wrapping up all the financial information needed for the sale of the company to take place on January 6. Then I will start in my new role as an employee of the new ownership group.
The 4-1/2 days out at the cottage were fantastic, but it just didn't feel like much of a break. And before and after that I worked weekdays and weekends and kind of lost track of time. All worth it to see my ownership come to an end, and my retirement now on a fixed schedule. A year from now once I have fulfilled my employment commitments to the new ownership group, it will fell a lot more like a holiday.
