    Work was very busy this week just gone. Out of one meeting and into another, and not really feeling like things get done :o

    I think I'm hanging on for my holiday now...you know that tired feeling where you're just crawling towards the finish line?!

    I had a therapy session last night which was pretty tough and I was very emotional on the way back home in the car. Feel pretty drained today. I know it's doing me good, but I just have to make sure I take care of myself.

    I've already prepped our lunches for next week. Got to do the Aldi shop today, ugh! But on the plus side, I had some time in between leaving work and my therapy session last night so I went to Tesco to get the bits and pieces we normally get from there (mainly gluten-free stuff), so at least we don't have to do that today.

    Both hubby and I are only working three days next week so that's nice. We both have Friday off to get things packed and then Saturday it's holiday time! Can you tell I'm counting down to this?! :rotfl:

    Hi Lilith,

    I’ve had a few of those tough therapy sessions and they certainly take it out of you but so worth it.

    I booked my holiday last night and will crawling towards it come August. Have a lovely break, you deserve it and take care of yourself:)
