Oh gosh @outlander so much tugging at you from all sides! Ugh, I had a similar thing with a house inspection recently - put soooo much effort into it, ran myself ragged, and they didn't even call to let me know! Just never showed up. Cue intense frustration and wearing my grumpy pants for the rest of the day.
It absolutely does add up, so I hope you're able to give yourself some grace - it's okay to feel super intense emotions when everything is piled on top of you like this!

Yep the waiting is killer @outlander I hate it. Can't commit to anything, can't get lost in something, have to just hang around, watching the clock. Yuck.
I know what you mean. I am not sure if I've shared this with you before? The Seven Types of Rest - really helped me understand better about what I am feeling and what I can do to address it when it's not necessarily just physical exhaustion. Maybe something that occupies juuuust enough of your mind? I like stuff like colouring in whilst watching a comfort show (so I don't need to look at the screen the whole time), or playing a lil game on my phone. Just to carry you through until bedtime.

@outlander oh I am glad to hear it went well, even if there was some unexpected complications! How long is the healing time?
Really glad you decided to take time off! I couldn't imagine having surgery then working, though I guess the way money rules our lives these days I can understand it.
Do you have much planned for your down time? Lots of very low key chillin I hope!
