I had a dreadful summer. Work and family were just so intense with me. If I wasn't working, I was studying an online course and trying to meet deadlines for assignments and if I wasn't doing that, it was family dumping babysitting on me. I can count on one hand the amount to days that I had off this summer. It was awful.
The weekend two weekends ago was the first time I was able to get a proper block of time to myself since June. Every day since June was working, or college or family that wasn't even my kids - it was siblings washing their hands of their kids for the summer and using me as an aunty to mind their kids while their drank and holidayed. Don't get me wrong I love my nieces and nephews but I resented not having time to myself so much. It was every day demands from every angle.
The weekend two weekends ago was the first bit of time to myself in months.
I had an event to attend to last weekend.
I definitely feel like I am not fully recovered from the shit show of a summer.
This weakened coming will be my second free weekend since June.
I have no idea what to do with my time this weekend. If I should go for a meal out in peace. Or find a budget night away. Or go for a massage. I have no idea what to do with my time. I might aw well try and make this time my own.
