Anyone want to get back to normal/ work

[whatisforteamum]

I've chilled and it's lovely but the lethargy is so bad I can't wait to be under pressure again.
Anyone else?

Yes, slightly. I've had 10 days off work and feel so much better for it, but getting ready for a change of gear now

Yes me. Even though I like a little break, I find a routine helps with my wellbeing and like you say a little pressure/deadlines to get things done motivates me.

Im really looking forward to not being responsible for thinking of, producing and cleaning up multiple meals a day.

Dreaming of just wandering, alone, to pret.

I love my kids but yes. It's been great, but stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Yes I want to be back to normal and Dh out of the house! 😆

Yes, me. I've enjoyed it but I really need routine. I'm not back to work til Monday so I've still got another 4 full days off, but I'll be ready to go back by then.

I’m not really looking forward to it and I’ve really enjoyed having a proper break from work. I’m not a morning person, I have a hefty commute, a child in primary school and work is very stressful and full on 5 days a week. I know I’ve got a whole year until I get another long break and that makes me feel a bit crap.

Tbh no. Not yet.

I think that when you get that feeling that's how you know you've had a good rest

Midnightpatrol I'm a chef so no such luck for me.🤣

YES !

No.

Goodness no.
I enjoy my job but it takes over my life - I love not having to think about it at all. Once we are back on Monday I will feel like I can’t stop for breath until the next break.
Thank goodness I’ve got a good husband who picks up a lot of the housework otherwise I wouldn’t cope.

I'm not ready yet, I'm ready for a holiday to recover from Xmas. Exhausted 🤣

God no.

My job is very intense and I've had a lovely 3 weeks off.

Back to the grind with school and work on Monday!!

I work from home but for myself so work never really stopped so yes I'm looking forward to kids back at school, dh out the way so I can get motivated with no interruptions.

No. Not ready at all and still loving the relaxed days. Trying to think of nice self care routines to put in place from next week though as usually once I am back to work it is very all consuming.

Yes. I didn't want to finish work. I hate Christmas and everything associated with it.

I am seconds away from putting the children in year-round borstal. They need school! I need sanity! I want to book a house clearance, eat standing up at the fridge without a single soul asking me what’s for dinner even when there’s a bloody meal plan on the bloody wall, to speak to no one for approximately six months and use my brain for work not squabbles. Helps that I enjoy my work.

This.

Teacher life!

I cannot wait to go back to work tomorrow, really missing it. Got so many ideas and things I want to get working on.

'I hate Christmas and everything associated with it'

I absolutely hear you. Worst time of year by far ❤️

No. I got a really bad cold on the 20th and just feel about normal today. DH is back at work tomorrow. We didn’t get to have a lot of fun over the break because I was sick. Now, no time off together until April. Oh well, better luck next year.

No. Work gets in the way of living 😢

Hahaha yep - you got it.
sometimes I think I’m stupid to keep doing it.

@Lottapianos not many people get it. I wish it wasn't a thing. I've been thoroughly depressed (and I'm already on mirtazipine!) since I finished work on 13th December (I work in a school) that some days I can't face getting out of bed or dressed. I've tried to make an effort for DS's sake but the whole holiday is one long fucking nightmare.
