I have absolutely no holidays planned this year at all. I can’t afford such a luxury and have been using my days off just either for looking after my grandson or just opportunities to sleep in later than my workdays.
2023 is not the greatest year thus far and it’s been full of worries and such like.
My son hasn’t been well and I spent weeks worrying about him but not saying anything because it’s not my place to speak of his personal situation on a blog. Suffice to say all I will say is that my mind was worried about cancer and the outcome is a autoimmune illness that he is now managing with help from specialists.
Currently everything is financial and like most people going through living costs rising I’ve been juggling. My next juggle is my rent is going to be increased an extra £300 from January and I shall spend the next 6 months feeling WTF. Like a duck paddling in a oil slick.
I have a trip with the union planned to go to Palestine in November. It’s clearly one full of serious issues and concerns and I don’t know yet if they will cancel it. Time will tell. Safety and all that. But I laugh and call that my only holiday.
So I have Friday (tomorrow) as annual leave and Monday. No plans whatsoever. Just the need to be detached from the crazy.
I’ll pretend I’m like my avatar, tanned and having just had my coffee along the riviera, walking to meet my lover for the day. Not on my sofa watching the rain dropping on my windows.
