Off On Holiday

Today is my last day at work before my holiday. I shall be taking the next two weeks off. My original plan had been to go straight to Liz's after work but due to my dire need to do some laundry and make my room inhabitable I have decided to postpone this until tomorrow. Plus, as Liz pointed out, I've been completely shattered all week. Spending 4 hours in a warm car after a long day at work would probably be a bad idea.

Things haven't been going well on the work front recently. I know I've not been giving work anywhere near the commitment I should be giving it, but I have honestly been trying. It's just things haven't been too great for me recently. It's silly little things have been wearing me down, I'm sure everyone feels this way sometimes. Things like not having the energy to do things like washing up my dinner plates, doing the laundry, tidying up my room, take even a vague intrest in my appearance... There's a lot of shit kicking off back at home which is putting a huge burden on me, and money is getting me down as usual.

It's time for a change, and that's exactly what's going to happen. This holiday is exactly what I need. I need a chance to get some rest. A chance to do something different for a while and let the brain use some different synaptic pathways. It'll afford me the opportunity to get me hair cut, which always makes me take a little intrest in my appearance. It forces me to do some laundry and tidy up my room a bit which will make me feel better about myself.

So tomorrow morning I will make my way to Newbury, possibly sporting freshly cut hair, and with a bag full of clean ironed and folded clothes... And I shall enjoy two weeks of relaxing and activities.

When I get back I will hopefully be invigorated and ready to tackle all the shit I need to deal with, and full of interesting stories for this here humble blog.
