I didn't book a holiday. It was for several reasons... because I'm a single parent and haven't been well so haven't felt like I could manage it. Because I need to see family who I haven't seen because of covid. Because I've had to fit in some appointments for dental work and other things.
I felt better as summer started and I'm lucky that I can take a few weeks off work. I booked just a couple of nights somewhere on the way to see family. This was going to be our chance for a mini break and something special, as everything else this summer is a bit routine.
I possibly have chronic fatigue syndrome/ME and now I've had a flare up of my symptoms and I've had to cancel my mini break.
Going to force myself to drive up to family anyway hopefully but I've spent days resting so I can hopefully manage this.
I felt ok about not having a proper holiday before summer came but now I'm feeling awful. I can't bear the thought of going back to work. I feel like I've let my son down.
Anyone else having a shit summer and finding it hard seeing other people having their well earned breaks in places you wish you could be?
I wish I had a partner who could help. Who could just drive me somewhere nice where I wouldn't have to do anything but I don't. And I can't see how that will ever change either.
Sorry. Pity party here. They say misery loves company so come and moan with me if you're having a shit time.
