I’m not one for holidays. However all sorts of commitments have fallen by the wayside recently so that’s kind of a holiday.

I’m sorry for taking a very long holiday (aka resigning) from my part-time job as Thursday Ragtag Daily Prompt contributor without so much as a goodbye.

I’m sorry I resigned from a couple of environmental committees today. I’m not really a fit and proper person at the moment. It’s true. Not quite a write-off though, so no sympathy. Got that?

I’m embarrassed and remorseful that I told the lads from Ventia today to go forth and procreate kinda when they were surveying our verge for a new NBN (comms) upgrade. My tree might have to take a holiday if they rip its roots. There are no holidays from Type 1 diabetes because I was exceedingly hypoglycaemic at the time so I was extra obnoxious to those fellows. I may take an even longer holiday for that interaction. At least I didn’t hit anyone, except my husband.

I am sorry for constantly being on holiday when it comes to listening to my poor husband.

Because this sorry saga gets even worse, if you can believe that, I hope you will not take it personally when I password protect some of my blog posts while I get my sorry ass in order.

Of course, I shall let you know if I go to the clink, or for that matter, the clinic. You know, the one for very unruly minds.

I’m sorry mum. Don’t worry about me. Worry about the long suffering one.

I often finish my blog posts by saying “Take care”, but today I will go with it’s okay to stuff up every now and then. What’s the worse that can happen? I will leave comments open for the very long list that I am sure you can come up with. Play along, I would rather that than sympathy.

Oh, stuff it. Take care, everyone.

Kind Regards.

Tracy.

  1. Oh Tracy. Burnnout is horrible, whatever form it takes. There’s nothing I can say to help. But things – usually – change. And since you’re usually positive, I hope that positivity will drift your way again soon. I’d like to be among the privileged few that gets your password, though I quite understand if it’s not to be. First, I need to find a way of messaging you as you’re hardly likely to reply to this comment with said password! Sending a long-distance hug.

  2. Sometimes the best thing to do is to step back to give yourself some breathing room. Soldiering on when you have no reserves just adds to the destruction of self. Go ahead, take care of yourself, indulge in a bit of self-care. The investment you make in yourself will eventually filter out as you recover. But please do take care of Tracy!

  3. Take care yourself, Tracy. Look after yourself. Find out what is good for YOU. I’m German, so “lots of love” is strange to us – but certainly: lots of like from me to you.

  4. Strangely enough, it’s OK not to be OK. It’s even more OK to face it and step back to sort it out. ❤️ Taking care of yourself ripples outward to all the people who care about you and for whom you care.

  6. Stuff it–I have always quite liked that comment. Sounds kind of soft and pliable. LOL to you, Tracy. Which until we knew better, always thought meant Lots of Love. ❤️😽

  7. Oh Tracy, I’m sending you a big hug and lots of love. Just keep venting. It helps. I’m trying to figure out how to enjoy a cruise through the Panama Canal with a swollen bone spur on my foot that hurts when I wear shoes. Thank heavens for Birkenstocks! Take care. You’ll get through this! ❤️💕

  8. Yeah Tracy, stuff it. Checking out of most things is the best move. No need to apologise for being grumpy to those who deserve it, especially those without an environmental bone in their body.
    Be kind to yourself and take care. Lots of love from here as well 🥰

  10. Weirdly I smiled while reading your post, Tracy. Mainly due to the fact it resonated with me as I’ve been known in the past to let my quick temper get the best of me, using words not fists. Age is mellowing the best of us or at least trying to. Kia kaha.

  11. It’s good you’re letting go of some of the things you are doing for others when you need time to look after yourself Tracy and there’s no need to apologise. I don’t know whether there is a local support group for people with type 1 diabetes, somewhere you’ll be welcomed with a hug and learn ways of setting boundaries and reclaiming your energy without feeling guilty. Sending love and hugs across the miles 💖💫 xxx

    1. Thank you, Xenia. I really loved what I was doing and I am sure I will find some way to continue even if not quite at the level I was involved before. Life is more manageable when I am little steadier with the blood glucose levels. There are often delays in accessing the needed tech but I have extra supplies now so things should smooth out. Sending you love and hugs too.

  12. Chemical/hormonal/mental imbalances are really really hard to live with – so I hear you and I feel you. I check out all the time when I feel overwhelmed, so I say, Tracy, good on you! Come back when you are ready. Sending you big hugs!

      1. Goodness, low blood glucose is not something to scoff at. It is really no fun at all not to have the energy to do all the things one wants. I have been there and it really saps one’s will.
