I'm rolling into these holiday weeks off from work. I'm also a little burned out. I do this it seems every other year at least. I go four and a half months between significant time off. I think the challenge is that I associate time off with travel, which is hard to do in the fall because of school. With Simon doing better, I suppose we could squeeze in a weekend somewhere, but we didn't know about if that would happen.
It's weird to just have nothing to do, but I welcome it. I'm really embracing being bored, with the hopes that it drives me toward the creative things that I used to do more of. I feel as though life has been imbalanced this last year (and boy, that retrospective blog post is gonna be heavy). I don't really overthink it, but I may in fact underthink it. When I took Simon to therapy last week, I thought about how I have a lot of tools to make sense of things, to balance it all out, but it's so easy to get lost in your own circumstances to do anything with it.
We've got a lot planned for this two weeks. We're getting away, we're going to a wedding, we're volunteering, and you can bet your ass I'm gonna sit around and stare at the sky.
