Even though I’ve been back home for just over a week now, I feel like I’m still trying to catch up.
From barely sleeping on the plane, to then sleeping all day once I got home before going straight into a work shift, my sleeping pattern has been all over the shop. I’ve been staying up until 2-3am after work and sleeping in until noon, eating sporadically and feeling like I’m barely recovering from work each day.
I’ve also had to muster up the energy to be very sociable 🥲 I hosted a friend who came over for a wedding for four nights, took a long train ride to celebrate a best friend’s engagement, and attended a beautiful wedding, which started early and ended late. In those days I barely spoke to my fiancé, but I took naps where I could, forced myself to eat, and put my tiredness to one side so I could show up for friends and enjoy the moment.
And I’m so glad I did. It led to lovely catch ups on the train with friends heading to and from the BBQ, a very wholesome time at the party, a yummy meal later that night, and a wedding the whole of the next day that just radiated the best vibes from start to finish ✨
I met wonderful people at the wedding and we had such a fun time together, it gives me more confidence that saying yes to things can really add so much to your life, especially going into them with an open mind and heart.
But I’m also in this weird limbo where I feel so tired all the time and I’m just not where I’d like to be physically, mentally and emotionally a week after my trip to America.
So that’s where I’m at this week, just riding the wave and hoping that soon I’ll be back into a better routine that allows me more energy for getting through life 😂
