January gloom

[white_hart]

I am very much not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Maybe this really should be the year I find a new job. Not that that would happen in time to stop me having to navigate at least one more pandemic-hit term. I may have just had two and a bit weeks off but I'm not sure I have any more energy than I did at the start of the break.

And my dad is in hospital following a fall this morning and stroke symptoms. This is not good.

I am tired and sad and horribly worried and everything is Too Much.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and wish him a speedy recovery.

I can only imagine how stressful academia has been these last two years - I'm not surprised you're exhausted and lacking in energy. I hope you manage to carve out some time to take care of yourself.
