Weekly Reflection: Week Ninety-One

Back to home

Today marks the end of my ninety-first week of working from home (mostly). Here are my takeaways from week ninety-one:

  • Christmas – This week, the focus was on getting ready for the holiday. I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Planning on enjoying the food and fellowship with family and friends!

Week ninety-one was a holiday week. I’m looking forward to Christmas and more down time next week!
