I had a summer of pure f*cking hell. I was pulled in every direction from my work to my family. The last time I had any appropriate proper time off was back in June.
Ever since then it's all been working, or college course that my work has me doing, or something of my family are home from abroad and there was so much babysitting pushed onto me. I swear if I wasn't working, I had my head in books or I was babysitting. There was no real proper time off.
My partner is talking about a holiday but it's all last minute then from next week. The thing is, it's a cruise. He really lives cruises and I can see the pros and cons of them. However the last cruise I was on, I noticed a lot of people on board the ship with a band cough and eventually I came down with fever and cough and the same thing whatever it was.
I had a summer of fucking hell on this earth, pulled in every direction and I just don't want to end it with a cruise holiday and likely an episode of fucking sickness to boot.
Not only that, I know norovirus can be very contagious on cruises too. I don't want that.
I was trying to tell my partner I am busy and can't go on a cruise but he's not really listening to me. I would be open to a weekend away somewhere win Europe but not really a week on a cruise due to the likelyhood of getting ill. I can go into my local a&e and get sick for free.
