When I put it into black And white and read it back it sounds and feels ridiculous but ….
I really struggle with being on my own and having time off ! I’m fine having time off organised by others to do something specific , I’m fine having torn off with the boys doing stuff with them , what I’ve struggled with is having a regular day off on my own !
This job isn’t your regular 9-5, Monday - Friday so time off often differs from others and apparently I’m a “shy extrovert!” People give me energy and make me feel alive so being alone is draining.
Prior to this new year being alone meant pretty much doing everything and so time off ends up meaning catching up with the mountain of housework ( vicarage’s are a blessing and a curse!) the even bigger mountain of washing and other general maintenance jobs. This isn’t energising or life giving .
So my resolution is to try and have some real time off to recharge and re-set . Today I’ve visited friends and read a book ( and done a little housework / food shop but you know Rome wasn’t built in a day!!!)
I’m sharing this for two reasons ;
1) for people to keep me accountable
2) for inspiration of what can be done within the school hours that I may find life giving !
Watch this space !
