I’m going to keep this brief. Mostly, because I am fatigued.

Christmas has been hard, and as well as struggling with the fatigue, I feel defeated and discouraged. All I wanted was to enjoy a few days with my family, celebrating the birth of Jesus, eating good food and playing some games. And, whilst I did get to enjoy some time with extended family on Christmas day, I ended it slumped on the floor of my aunt’s house unable to move. It has been four days, and I am still recovering.

When I started this blog, I penciled in January and July as months off, but hoped it wouldn’t be necessary. The amount of strain my body has been under and the ways my CFS and anxiety have all been affected over the last few weeks has convinced me that I do need the time off.

So, here is the plan: I will publish one more post on the 31st to round out my year, and then will take January to focus on rest and recuperation.

Anyway, I hope you all get good rest and enjoy your holidays.

See you all in February.
