“It’s nice when I have days off to go home and relax and literally take the weight off my shoulders and enjoy the simple things.”
Seth Rollins
My oh my, Spidey, you’ve hit the nail on the head right there!
You all know I’ve been struggling with tiredness recently, and finally, as I write this, I can say “Yes! I am on half term!”
That means a week off from all that work and school… sort of.
I’ve spent an afternoon with my Lil Princess at the hairdresser so far. Today I may get my nails done. Monday, I shall attempt to get a Dr’s appointment to investigate the tiredness, and Tuesday, I’m afraid I can’t totally switch off. I need to pop into school to finish some data and classroom bits.
But then comes Wednesday.
Yes! for Wednesday! Because I’ll be taking the kids and driving up to see my Pops and Mum for a few days.
I’ll be going back HOME for a while, and that quote up there 🔝, is echoing my sentiments totally. When I got back home, that is truly the place I get to unwind, sit back and relax. I haven’t seen my Mum since June, and Pops since the beginning of August, so I am so excited to be with them.
Just being there helps to relax me.
So… tell me, where do you go to relax?
But I Smile Anyway...

Wonderful! Sorry, i did! Yesterday i relaxed a little bit, and forgot visiting your blog. 😉
But you dont know what you are doing to me when you write about driving in the UK. Left-hand traffic. Horrible! 😉 However you got it. Tires are always needful for cars, tiredness not. Lol
Wish you a nice journey to your parents. Have fun, and a lot of sun, even therefore you are not leaving the UK. 🙂 Michael

With the rain i read on Pete’s blog (beetlepete.com) Seems the whole isle is under rain. 😉 Whenever the doctors don’t know more, they do blood tests.
Don’t be unsettled. Good luck, and best wishes! Michael

I can relax anywhere. I’ve pretty much trained myself to set my mind on relaxing and then do it. This comes from living in maximum stress conditions where there is no opportunity to get away.

It all sounds very nice, Ritu. I think you know how I relax – I work at baking, fondant art and writing. My work colleagues told me I am a workaholic and I think I am. Working makes me happy.

I don’t seem to have a peaceful place to go to relax as my parents are long gone, though I still have a mother in law but she keeps me on my toes so no relaxing there! I do relax at home and it’s always good to have the house to myself early morning or late at night. I relax when out with friends…walking the dog but I no longer have a particular place to go.💜
