#and interpreting my discontent as an internal/personal issue ie ‘I don’t like my job’

[whentherewerebicycles]

christmas was nice! lots of good relaxed family time. I still have a hacking cough but I felt closer to 80% today and I’ll take that after the last week. I feel restless and vaguely discontented right now heading towards bed but I feel like that’s a typical “out of my routines/not moving much/not eating well/not doing any work” holiday break kind of feeling! I have to remind myself that the point of the break (in part) is to rest so much and do so little that I don’t feel so drained coming back. I do go back to work tomorrow 🫠 but I think I’ll try to spend this week doing big picture thinking about my role + what I want to accomplish in the next five months before I go on leave. I find that kind of thinking more energizing than checking tasks off a list so maybe I can make this week of half-work feel less like work work.
