Why are you always so tired after a holiday doing nothing....

[NaomiFromMilkShake]

We had two lovely weeks in a lovely part of Spain, we slept late, we read our books all day and then went out for dinner and a drink in the evening. The most energetic thing we did over and above that was two small supermarket shops.

So why did it take until yesterday to feel vaguely human.

I think it's the travelling? It's the only thing I can come up with!!!

Quite possibly, but it is most annoying you spend all year planning and saving and then you feel like death for the first week.

I bloody hope I got enough Vitamin D to last the winter, otherwise I want my money back.

There is nothing that makes you feel more lethargic than doing nothing. I've been off work a month and it's been lovely (and I have a one year old, so my idea of 'doing nothing' is a higher bar than it once was!) but it's been taking me days to get around to doing tasks that I would normally do in 20 minutes after work. The less you do the less you want to do and the bigger a deal tiny tasks become.

Relaxing is exhausting I find. The more you do the more you can do sometimes.
