This is what burnout looks like

You know in my last post where I said Id be back well um no instead I carried on carrying on and doing everything until whilst finishing and arguing about a jigsaw ( yep a jigsaw ffs) with J, I brokedown.  I'd been carrying on doing and being pressurised with no senior management support since B and M left and I had hit rock bottom. It was affecting my home, my relationship and my health and only now 5 days after seeing the doctor and getting medication and support, I can see it Everyone else saw it coming, I've had loads of message of support from colleagues and friends telling me it had been a long time coming and   you cant pour from an empty cup, messages full of well wishes and support. I still have a tinge of guilt for not being there and for letting everyone else take it on but I've had to stamp on those feelings really hard.

Back ..maybe

 Yep, I went AWOL from Blogging life again  Its not for trying, there are several drafts sitting there but are now too late to post (I mean who wants to know about last Easter!) Life as always took over and when work hit 1000% mentality there was no where in my little brain for writing. I've not even gone back to writing the other writing (a novel/ short story or whatever it is) But am sat here today on a lunch hour thinking why not. Not really much interesting to say but am going to try and start again even if its just weekly little things for now - what went well , what didn't, meal plans that kinda thing No idea if anyone will actually read it but it makes me smile so all good Week ending 22nd August 2025 Reading I've got back into reading again and although there are several boxes of books sitting in my garage after my move ( a thing that happened when I awoled) I went to the library to pick some other delights Not started any of these yet but am trying to read 52 books...

Easter Sunday

Or how to handle a hangover. Obviously breakfast and then a long drive home featuring some fizzy coke and then a delicious roast dinner Best Easter ever
