I Am Having a Break

Apr 18, 2019 19:30

... I have Easter weekend off work (which is entirely closed Friday to Monday). I have done the last task marking for Second Job, and their final assignments don't come in until 26th. I also thought I was reviewing a play tonight but it turns out I've been conflating this week and next on my home calendar, which clearly shows the play isn't on until next week. (Glad I worked this out yesterday rather than when I'd actually arrived at the theatre tonight...)

So, I am having a break. Nothing much at all tonight; nothing but yoga, visiting parents (and cooking there), and reading whatever I fancy for the long weekend. Maybe some walking about in the sunshine that we are (amazingly) promised.

I need this. What with working away from home for two weeks in February, it's been a really busy few months without any let-up, after a quiet January. Seville and Cordoba, although a lovely holiday, started with good intentions about taking it easy... but then I did have a couple of intensive tourism days, and the flights were not restful either. Plus, the news has been very engrossing in a bad way. Switching off a bit seems like a plan.

My calendar is almost sorted for the next couple of months. One night here. Three nights there. Two nights there. Can I get to [Scottish city] for an evening reception? How about this conference? Congratulations, your paper was accepted to that conference! And so on. Yeesh. But not for the next four days. It's reboot time.
