I am so grateful that tomorrow is a bank holiday. I may be struggling to believe it\u2019s May (Christmas still feels like it was just yesterday), but I\u2019m looking forward to a day when I have no plans. There is no need for an alarm. There is nowhere I need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past eight days have been busy. Numerous different family gatherings, a Monday night gig, some mini Tickles London adventures, and a girls day of jewellery shopping and lunching. My life is normally feast or famine when it comes to social plans, and this has definitely been a feast, just after I\u2019d recovered from the previous couple of busy weeks. It\u2019s been a good type of busy, but my energy levels are once again depleted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually use Sunday evenings to rest and reset for the week ahead, but this week I\u2019ll be using tomorrow to do that. Time to catch up on the laundry and other chores. Time to potter. Time to lounge around and see what my brain and my body feels up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name \u2018bank holiday\u2019 is a bit archaic as it feels like high street banks are never open these days, not that I\u2019ve needed to go to one in a longtime. The term comes from a different time in how people live their lives, like when Sundays were rest days and there weren\u2019t as many services that were expected to be available when 9-5ers weren\u2019t working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going with it though. An extra day when I don\u2019t have to work is just what I need right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
