- Burnout
The last 24 hours have been the worst I've felt in some time. Having a fever, COVID or whatever that doesn't change the fact I overdid it yesterday. I coudn't sleep but still woke up at 5am and powered through.
I wanted to go to bed around 2pm as I was flagging but because we decided to take a mini break away I thought I might push through and get work done so I didn't have to worry and I could enjoy the break. I got the break, not the one I wanted.
I don't look after myself as well as I should. A combination of no sleep, too much coffee, a migraine, and pushing myself too much resulted me getting something and spending the last 24 hours, both hot and cold unable to move.
Doesn't help that the hotel we went to by the beach has our room 3 stories up. Did I mention about a year and a half a go I messed up my knee so it takes me ages to go up stairs... I'm falling about and I'm only 32. You feel invincible until you don't. Look after yourself... if your body is telling you to rest, REST.
