Thank you to all who have e-mailed or messaged me; I greatly appreciate. Things have been rather hectic work-wise, and mentally/emotionally, and I have not been able to respond as I wanted to. I will try and do so in the coming weeks.
I have missed reading all about your adventures; I do hope in 2 weeks to be able to start. Why 2 weeks?
2 weeks ago I resigned from my job; I am supposed to finish up in 2 weeks [4 weeks' notice is standard here], but with a system implementation that did not go ahead this weekend [a long working weekend for me, but moreso for the developers...], I may come back for a weekend to assist or consider staying for an extra week ot two if asked.
I am relieved and excited about the next 3 months [my initial guess at how long I will not work]. I plan to relax, perhaps do a few short trips, and just generally try and get myself mentally and emotionally better. I know I am very lucky I can stop work for this time, and I can but pray it will be a time of rest and healing for my mind, body and soul. I am struggling daily at work, and the busy-ness of helping on an intense project is pushing a lot of my unhelpful triggers and behaviours; and at this time I cannot see to work on both, so, God willing, a time away from work may help me deal with the other areas.
My thanks again for the messages and e-mails; it is humbling and a blessing to know you care.
