Last year was a hectic year for me, trying to work and study (to pursue my career) full time, doing 7 days for a whole year wasn't healthy so i decided to take this year off (still working full time) For the most part it's been great! I've got to spend lots of time with the family and kids and video games! we have a planned holiday later in the year.. and XMAS! I still kinda regret it in a way, as the ol' saying goes, usually if you have free time you waste it and now i'm a year behind being where i want to be.
