I am ON HOLIDAY (238/365)

[white_hart]

Today has also been A Day, but I managed to get through it (though I was really quite glad I had the car at work, as we finally got round to buying new chairs and I took my office chair and other borrowed equipment back to the office). And the next two and a half weeks will involve:

- reading books
- sewing (I'm halfway through a shirt, have fabric to try a new trouser pattern, and then I'll just improvise)
- knitting (I've cast on for a new winter cardigan)
- swimming as much as possible
- seeing my parents (and possibly visiting the zoo near them)
- seeing the sea (and hopefully swimming in it)
- getting on a bus, in preparation for starting to commute by bus again
- possibly getting someone else to cut my hair
- and NO WORK.

I hope that this will have enough of a restorative effect for me to feel capable of coping with Michaelmas Term, because right now I definitely don't.

Thank you!

You may have noticed that I had a day (and a half) yesterday, but at least you sound like you have plans!

[white_hart]

Sorry you're having a tough time! (I haven't had the time to catch up with my reading list for a few days, alas - hopefully soon!)

Sounds wonderful!

[white_hart]

I hope it will be!

[girlyswot]

That sounds like an excellent plan.

[white_hart]

It does, doesn't it?

[machiavellijr]

That sounds like an excellent and thoroughly deserved, not to say well-timed, holiday. I've just come back from mine and by the time Term kicks off I'm sure I shall be in desperate need of another!

I always take leave late in the summer because that way there's some hope that the relaxing effect will last through to week 1 at least!

I hope you manage a relaxing break and feel recharged for it
