Pretty self explanatory, right?
The first week back at work after being on holiday was absolutely brutal!
I just felt like time went by so slowly, not to mention working through the backlog of emails and outstanding jobs, as well as having to get back into the routine of getting up early in the morning when I’ve been sleeping in so much. It somewhat felt like a hangover – blurry, sluggish and taking way too much time to recover.
By Friday, I did feel like I was back into the swing of things though. Wrapping my head around where I left off in 2024 was probably the hardest part, but it does help that I have a supportive manager to run things by. I’m bracing myself for the amount of work that’s coming though… but as much as I am a perfectionist, this year I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I can only do what I can do, and I don’t want to stress about going above and beyond when I’m entitled not to.
Wow.
That’s the first time that I’ve taken that thought out of my head and written it down. I mean, I only have one life, and I don’t want it to revolve around anxiety of not doing a perfect job. In the scheme of things, I literally have another 20 to 30 years of working, so it seems trivial to stress about things now. I have other plans in life I would rather spend my worries on.
I think I’ve also got back into routine now. Which has been hard, considering I have made all these new year resolutions. At the moment, they have closed off a lot of the parking bays at the train station, so I had to get up super early to get a park. At the moment all the public transport is free, so I am taking big advantage of that. It’s just such a mission to get to work – 1 hour is just insane! BUT I’m doing it because I need to save money and get more healthy.
Anyway! I’m already planning my next holiday. It’s only the first week down and I already want to be somewhere else. I just finished watching the new season of Dubai Bling and I envy their lifestyles so much! I mean, how are they so rich?! Maybe one day I’ll win the lotto and I won’t have to work anymore.
Well, that’s the dream anyway. But for now, I have to start getting ready for the next work week. I am so exhausted; I have done SO much exercise over the weekend and my body is so sore 😦 But it’s all in the pursuit of being healthy, so I’ll take the muscle aches 🙂
Much Love,
