Calm Between the Storms

I'm never really sure about how I feel at this time of the year. I have a break from most things and although these few days between Christmas and New Years are filled with reffing hockey, there is always some free time that I don't really know what to do with. This year I'm watching more hockey (World Juniors and Spengler Cup) than I'm reffing so I even have more free time. It's funny how we always look for more spare time when it gets busy but when we have some spare time it sometimes gets a little boring. People are gone and busy with families so at a time when it should be easier to get together with friends its often actually more difficult. I guess this gives me some time to clean up my room and the apartment at least. I'd feel better going into the new year living a little bit cleaner than I'm used to. Guess I can continue to play my new guitar as well.
