TheBookHippie Just drop me there and pick me up in a few months ... any of the beaches is fine. Laundry and dishes and cooking here. 4y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I know! 😍 Could do with that now. Now fourth months working every day and very tired. Day in school today which is so surreal. (edited) 4y

CocoReads Oh the beach! I‘m in ❤️! I‘ve basically done almost nothing compared to the list I had for today. But I did finish a book and took a nap! Back to the grind tomorrow. 🤣🤣 4y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Sounds the perfect day to me, forget that nasty to do list. Sending positive thoughts for tomorrow. 🥰 4y

CocoReads @Andrew65 thanks. I‘m actually a pro at ignoring the to do list and trying to be better at listening to my body when it says to rest. So in those terms, today has been a great success! 4y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Me too! Rather like they say in the army rest when you can. 4y

TheBookHippie @CocoReads that is accomplishing something! 4y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 ughhhhh 4y

kezzlou85 An okay start. Managed to start the car so I could get it the garage. Just hoping they sort it out. Rest was homeschooling 4y

DieAReader @Andrew65 Please make sure to take care of yourself! Virtual-hugs🙏to everyone❤Today has so far been uneventful, thankfully. I'm on emotional overload...So I've been trying to organise myself for June (challenges, buddy reads etc...) If I can't control anything else around me, I will focus my energies on things I can control. My📚🎶 have saved me/my sanity my entire life and now is no different. One second @ a time seems to work😉 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 Hope they sort the problem for you. 4y

Andrew65 @Squidget Just what the doctor ordered, control the things that you can control and try not to worry or stress about things you can‘t affect or change. Take care and sending virtual hugs back too. 🥰 4y

kezzlou85 @Andrew65 I hope so too. Im not going far obviously but it puts me on edge not having my car. 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 Like losing an arm. 4y

DieAReader @Andrew65😊❤ 4y

gradcat @Andrew65 I lost about 36 hours in bed on migraine meds, but better now. Are you saying that you all are back in school? Even students? Anyway, take good care of yourself, please, Andrew! ♥️ 4y

TrishB All I did was swear at my laptop today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. ♥️ 4y

Andrew65 @TrishB 😂 I‘ve had a few of those days recently. Sending best wishes and positive thoughts. 🥰 4y

Andrew65 @gradcat Far from it, not even 10% of students in . Year 6 in today but only 9/48 arrived, next week we add Year 1, and reception the following week. 4y

gradcat @Andrew65 Okay, I get it now. By the way, thanks for sending the virtual hugs...I‘m sending some right back to you. 🤗🥰♥️ 4y

TrishB You too Andrew. You must be counting down the days for a break! 4y

Andrew65 @TrishB Oh yes, please no national announcements that affect that. A few weeks ago I saw a survey that said 25% of Headteachers thinking of leaving their post. Yet again last week pronouncements on Friday evening for education. Whatever happened to work-life balance! 4y

Velvetfur Love those gorgeous beach pics! That's a shockingly high number of head teachers thinking of quitting, really sad to hear that 🙁 I've been at my parents' again today, I've been scrubbing clean the small bit of wall above the picture rail in the living room, in prep for them to repaint it. Having a day off tomorrow though 🙂 I had loads of kittycat cuddles today too so I'm really happy! 🐈 💜 4y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur It is, the pressures have been off the scale. Also pressures to achieve outcomes in the future will be beyond believable! Sounds like you had a productive day physically and emotionally. 😊 4y

tracey38 Today was ok at work. I'm just hoping for something else to come along soon. @Andrew65 I am sorry for all the stress you are, and have been, going through. Take care of yourself! And I would love to be on one of those beaches, too! 4y

Andrew65 @tracey38 Pleased to hear things were okay, things must feel intolerable at the moment. Keeping my fingers crossed fir you that something comes up for you. This will pass, hang in there. 🤞🥰 Thanks, trying the best I can, at least feels some potential light at the end of the tunnel after 4 long months. 4y

kezzlou85 @Andrew65 thats exactly it. 4y

IamIamIam Gorgeous!!! I'm in love!!! Today was okay but my ulcer has started kicking up after months of worrying about everyone and putting myself last. 😖 Gotta bounce back and relax a little!!! Today was my nephew's moving up ceremony so we spent some time with them. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Those beaches look beautiful. I could do with a few hours on the beach (under an umbrella, please). Today was a fairly standard Monday for me: calls & reports. I got a little reading and some grocery shopping done, so not a total bust. 4y

Andrew65 @IamIamIam Yes all these stresses and anxieties not helping digestive issues. Take care and try to relax. Sending positive thoughts. 🥰 4y

Andrew65 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Sounds a positive day. 4y

Hill Walks in Mid Wales: The Cambrian Mountains | Dave Ing

More beautiful and remote beaches today, as we visited Tresaith, Aberporth and Gwbert.

How has the end of the week been for you? Yet again worked all day today. Meant to take the week off this week but not even managed one day with everything going on. Now you keep hearing them taking about over the Summer holidays. How long before some of us start to break down. 😡 Only just finished working today and it‘s 9 pm.

IamIamIam Ugh, what a crappy day! Hopefully you can disconnect over the weekend! I ran around today, trying to find an open wine store to get gifts for my MIL and SIL. We're getting together for birthdays tomorrow. 4y

CocoReads Hope you get a break soon Andrew. Pics are gorgeous! I‘ve got 5 minutes of work left and then off for the weekend! 4y

Andrew65 @IamIamIam Once I‘ve got the MRI over in the morning I plan to get lost in #25B4Monday. Enjoy your birthday celebrations 😊 4y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Yey! Just 5 minutes, have a great weekend. 4y

gradcat @Andrew65 I‘m so sorry to hear about all of the problems you are dealing over there. And an MRI to boot! I just hope good news comes from the MRI...I worry about you.... ♥️ 4y

gradcat @IamIamIam Wine 🍷 yum!! Good for you and your MIL & SIL! 😋 ♥️ Have fun at the birthday party!! 🥳 (edited) 4y

IamIamIam @gradcat Thanks! It's just a nice diversion but we'll be short 4 because my husband's brother still isn't comfortable getting together. 😁 4y

IamIamIam @Andrew65 Good luck with the MRI! 🤞🤞🤞 4y

Andrew65 @gradcat This week I worried about me too. Especially when I was phoned to book in for the MRI and I knew nothing about it or heard about the outcome from the CT. impossible to get a break at the moment. Even tonight been getting emails from staff I‘ve had to respond to. 4y

Andrew65 @IamIamIam Thanks 😊 At least at 9 am so get it over and done with early. 4y

gradcat @IamIamIam Well, you can‘t blame him for wanting to take precautions. I know you guys will miss him, but I kind of admire the folks who are taking this seriously...considering some people think the COVID warnings are all a bunch of overblown hooey (is that how you spell that?)! 4y

TheSpineView Hopefully you will get some well deserved time off soon!🤞 Another uneventful day for me. That is two in a row. A record! Maybe things are starting to move toward normalcy though I have no allusions about getting there quick. 4y

gradcat @Andrew65 Is it not possible to have someone sort of fill in for a day or two? It seems like your condition is very dicey at the moment, and the added stress could only make it worse. ♥️ 4y

IamIamIam @gradcat No, of course not. We live outside of NYC so we've been extremely cautious. Last week, we spent time with family who hadn't had contact with anyone outside of shopping and we're trying to stay outside as much as possible. My BIL has 2 kids under 4 so he's concerned that they won't be able to communicate if they're not feeling well. It's totally understandable. 4y

gradcat @IamIamIam I know you‘ll have fun anyway. It will be a sort of respite from all of the isolation. We all deserve to have a bit of fun now, I think... 4y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView Two days in a trot is good, hopefully you will make it to 3! 🤞 4y

Andrew65 @gradcat We attempted it this week and it failed significantly. Victim of my own success with staff, LA and all. They prefer to deal with me. 4y

Andrew65 @gradcat @IamIamIam We most definitely do, even more so now! 4y

Velvetfur Gorgeous beach pics Andrew, thank you 🙂 So sorry to hear you didn't get any days off this week, so annoying 😡 I've started my hayfever nasal spray today which has also helped with the asthma, my chest is almost clear, yay! Oh and I did a big 2-hour walk today to start off my virtual Camino challenge, so - achievement 👍🏻 4y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur Great to hear the new medication has worked, that must be a great relief. 4y

Texreader I‘m so sorry! I‘ve had some hard days and missed out on the three-day weekend here to work. Was so excited to get out of work around 1:30 today. Went home and went straight to sleep! It really helped with my attitude. Take care of yourself! 4y

Andrew65 @Texreader Thanks . Sounds like you needed that sleep! Have a great weekend and enjoy your leisure time, 4y

Velvetfur @Andrew65 Certainly is, thank you! 🙂 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m ok... sorry to hear you‘ve had another rough week... I hope you get some rest over the weekend 💙 4y

Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks, that just seems life at the moment. Hope you have had a good week. 🥰 Enjoy your weekend. (edited) 4y

tracey38 Oh Andrew, I'm so sorry! That just isn't fair to you or anyone. Anyone is sure to reach their breaking point. I need to take some time off but don't have anywhere to go. But I am definitely at the point I just need a break. @Andrew65 4y

Andrew65 @tracey38 Yes I think a lot of us are in this position after the last two - three months! Hope you get some sort of break. 4y

tracey38 For me, today was such a hectic work day and I couldn't wait for the minute I could clock out for the day. I think everyone is starting to crack. Plus, it was a dark and stormy day and I just wanted to be in bed with a book. 4y

tracey38 @Andrew65 also, gorgeous pictures. Those places look so relaxing. And yes, we all need a break. Even our patients seem to be going a bit stir crazy and not sure how to handle life at the present. 4y

Andrew65 @tracey38 Everyones certainty in life has been thrown, and no end to this in sight for at least a year or even longer. Effectively the world has been shook on its axis and thrown us all. Think this is where the cracking is coming from. (edited) 4y

tracey38 @Andrew65 yes, very true. 4y

TheBookHippie Ack you need a break, which is pot talking to kettle . I spent my birthday and daughter birthday (yesterday and today) trying to celebrate just us 5... while simultaneously doing work for behind the scenes ACLU etc with all the protesting and demonstrations currently happening. School meetings quiet here until end of month . I think my emotional state is exhausted as I imagine yours is. Hoping for clear margins for you! And a NAP! Pics are💜 4y

DieAReader Had trouble with the car dealership (nearest city - 30 min drive away) that severely rattled me in all the wrong ways. Hubby so (understandably)😡😡that he tore the Dealership manager a new one🐒& will be following up with the Canadian headquarters. #24B4Monday has been slow going, but I have finished my🎧📖 & started a new one😬🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ Hugs & positive energy🙏🏻 being sent your way @Andrew65 Rest & relaxation is my prescription for you📚☕️ (edited) 4y

gradcat @Andrew65 I want you to know how much I admire you, Andrew...I‘m not sure how you find the hours in the day to do all that you do. Just know that none of us take it for granted at Litsy, and I‘m sure it‘s the same with your staff. Just be safe, try to find a couple of moments here & there to rest—in general, just try to take care of yourself...you‘re special to so many of us....♥️ 4y

kezzlou85 I missed this last night. Sorry you still haven't had any time off. Yesterday was an okay day. 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 Okay is good. 4y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 Andrew how do you get everything done that you do? I certainly admire you in so many ways. Headed to son in laws cabin for weekend, have a safe and restful one my friend ❤ 4y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi I‘m not sure myself 😂 Helps having a very supportive wife. 🥰 Enjoy your weekend. (edited) 4y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 what would we do without our best friend that we share our life with?💚💙💛❤ 4y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi Indeed 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4y

GHABI4ROSES I had a crazy work burst, too! Started at 9pm Wednesday, went straight through to Friday evening. PERFECT weekend for our #Readathon.
4y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Have fun! 😊🥰 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 Okay is the new good! Lucky was able to get some relaxation time today, the weather does help. 4y

Andrew65 @gradcat Thanks, you are so sweet 🥰 Not sure how I find the time to do it either, sleep often hit as a night owl. Yes staff like to come to me first and to hear it from me! Have rested today after the MRI which was early in the day. 4y

Andrew65 @Squidget Thanks, tried to follow some of your prescription today, hope you have been successful with the dealership. Before all this started we were going car shopping, that hasn‘t happened and not sure when it will now. 4y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie have tried to take some recharge today, the Readathon helps this. Hope you managed to get some relaxation time today. Belated birthday greetings. 🎁 🎂🍾🥂 🍰 Yes emotional resilience not at its highest. I‘m going into school on Monday to start marking the field out in zones for when the children do return to keep the bubbles separate and intact. (edited) 4y

kezzlou85 @Andrew65 aww I'm so glad to hear that you got to relax 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 Thanks, hope to repeat tomorrow. A very busy week ahead next week. 4y

kezzlou85 @Andrew65 I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can today as well. 4y
