Towards the cease of finally year, I was complaining that I was twiddling my thumbs later a whole serial of things I was meant to live on working on got delayed. Well, thankfully, near of them did finally learn going at the outset of this twelvemonth ... mayhap inevitably, all at the same time! After some negotiation, I managed to stack them 1 later the other, but it gave me a actually punishing schedule that started inward Jan as well as is due to become through to mid-December alongside no respite.
I'm non complaining, it's skillful to live on busy as well as they're all actually interesting, challenging projects. But it's really hard to sustain levels of unloosen energy as well as creative momentum over such a long current of time. I worked out only at 1 time that inward or as well as thus 110 working days since mid-Feb (taking out days away at conferences, instructor training, etc.) I've produced 156 pages of fabric - as well as it's all been at upper-int or advanced level, as well as thus that's quite a lot of text per page. (And of course, that doesn't draw of piece of job concern human relationship for planning, redrafting, etc.) My fourth dimension is no longer measured inward days or weeks, but inward spreads as well as units!!
It's been a long slog alongside lots of long days, weekend working as well as no such matter every bit a Bank Holiday, but I convey managed to grab a duet of breaks. Back inward May, I had a proper week's holiday, escaping to a cliff-top cabin inward the due south of Kingdom of Spain to relax as well as recharge. The setting as well as the weather condition were beautiful, but I flora I spent near of the vacation grouchy as well as unable to relax, at points finding myself inward tears of frustration because my much-looked-forward-to intermission wasn't working out every bit I'd as well as thus desperately hoped. Of course, it was the built-up tension from the previous weeks at my desk coming out as well as it wasn't until the finally duet of days that I started to properly air current downward as well as taste myself.

Then at the outset of August, I had an unexpected calendar week 'off' when at that spot was a delay to the projection I was working on. I had visions of a calendar week spent pottering inward the garden as well as of sunny days out, but beyond 1 sunny forenoon wandering or as well as thus Bristol alongside my camera, it rained pretty solidly all week! So instead I worked my agency through a long to-do listing of locomote (admin, book-keeping) as well as domestic chores. Not much fun, but definitely a much-needed catch-up.
Tomorrow, I caput off for my 2nd proper vacation of the year, a calendar week inward Malta. This fourth dimension I'm determined non to autumn into the 'desperate-to-relax' trap 1 time to a greater extent than as well as I'm going to effort actually hard only to become alongside the current ... if that's non a contradiction inward itself!
