Running on empty

Feel like I'm really struggling at the moment. I don't know why particularly except the threat of job loss (which has receded till end July but is otherwise still there), and maybe the time of year, as it is approaching Benjamin's birthday although I feel a bit impatient if it is that after 7 years. I seem to feel constantly tired and only the very very bare minimum of vital things is getting done both at home and at work. I feel like I need a week's retreat in a Trappist monastery, with silence, total silence. Don't suppose that'll be happening anytime soon, though, what with a breastfeeding babe and all .......

trappist monastery sounds good

adjoining cells? We could wave (silently of course) at each other.

yep, count me in - Oh how I long for the sound of silence...

I knew Helen and Jax would relate ... but even the extrovert Nic? Wow.

come up and see us, I can't offer trapist style silence but we have a forest nearby and they never seem so loud out there!

big hugs - I think a pink padded room with a constant stream of nice things to eat and some serene music would help a bit - I'll join you .
