I took next week off from work just because I can and I don't know what I'm going to do. I'd like to make the most of it but I can't decide between doing something really cool and doing nothing at all; both are tempting!
Otherwise, things are going pretty great. I might be able to go full remote at work (which would mean I don't need to quit anymore), and I've prepared a wonderful peach, feta & cucumber salad for lunch.
I am supremely jealous of your ability to take time and have no idea what to do. I have a 7 month old kiddo and a partner who plans our calendar months in advance. I dont think I'll ever have a weeklong stretch of unspoked for time ever again in my whole life.
I am incredibly lucky to live in a country that strongly protects workers, to have no children and to be able to afford an apartment 10mins away from my partner's place rather than living together and depending on each other's calendar. I remember how lucky I am every day.
I really hope the baby is doing well and that things will settle down in a year or two - obviously it's still not going to be "unspoken for time", but hopefully things will settle down a bit at least!
Glad to hear that you live in such a wonderful place! The baby is indeed doing well, and relatively speaking so are we (the parents). Here's to a calmer life in the medium-term haha!
