That feeling when Finally having time to sit down and actually rest with nothing to prepare or plan feels like submerging your ears in the water at a loud swimming pool...

I have really reached my limit this week mentally and physically. I often struggle with post summer burnout in September/October but this week I had to function perfectly during work and so many social obligations whereas I had things to prepare for or join in. I didn't get any real me time to unwind because I had to run errands and prepare things til late in the night. Never getting to bed before 3 or 4 am... I ran on sleep deprivation an burnout. Yesterday I was close to the point of breaking down exhaustion. I felt my knees almost give out in the store... Now it's finally over I have finally time for me with nothing to prepare for others. I will probably have a hardcore social shutdown but thb I need it 😅

So...finally have returned from vacation. Was far up north this time,got to stay at a amazeing cabin style house,did some swimming,pool shooting and rural beach workouts. Traveled into the city for some excellent BBQ and visited an aquarium as I have not been to one in like 5 years or more. The vacation was cut a few days short due to some family drama on my cousins side of the family,a major misunderstanding of boundaries that changed family dynamics so the next family vacation will probably be a bit smaller. But overall much needed and enjoyed !
