What a month

February was truly an awful month. It felt like the never ending Monday, a headache no painkiller could touch and a torturously long meeting that could have been an e-mail.

I had the worst birthday early in the month - hubby had to travel overseas the day before so I spent the day on my own. Took a long walk in the morning, got some calls and returned messages but it was a far cry from celebrating with hubby and enjoying the day together.

After that I spent the week trying to keep a routine while counting down the days until hubby got back. I went for a morning walk and a take away coffee every day. Work was super busy (this time of year always is) and yet time really dragged. The time difference was just a few hours so at least hubby and I could chat every evening about the day.

When hubby got back he was very sick from a virus which he picked up overseas. Of course I caught and the past 2 weeks have been spent trying to recover while working crazy hours attempting to stay on top of my work. Most nights I battled to sleep and then had to push through a day with zero energy in the summer heat. This summer has really felt extremely long and hot.

Add in some geyser issues just to keep things interesting and you get the idea. I am over February!

I’ve been quiet on Insta - honestly I haven’t had the energy to post. Also, I’m not fake so I’m not going to post saccharine sweet quotes and pretend all is well when this month has taken a massive toll on me. I did post to my story a few weeks ago after I took hubby to the Dr and appreciate people messaging to check if he was alright. This was very sweet as some messages were from the other side of the world.

Eye roll to the regular spectators who think friendship is sending endless meme’s and inviting me to like what they are interested in on LinkedIn.

How was your February?
