in all honesty..

It's day 3 of the 6 week school holiday for our little D. We are just at the start of the summer period, so we have a lot of time in front of us before school starts again. And every year it's the time of year I dread the most... I don't know how the summer is for other people, but for me it's the hardest time of the year. Being chronically ill, I need quite some time next to my work, to 'restore' my body so that it is able to sort of function like a half normal person ;) That's why I have 4 days off and I work 3 days every week. I need those days to recover. School holiday means, that 3 of my 4 recovery days are now filled with D being home. In principle this is lovely! More time with my daughter is always something I enjoy. But it is also asking a lot more of my body. I've created a routine over the years that is sort of focussed on getting my body back to work again after my workweek. That means a lot of walking every week. I try to go outside at least 3 mornings to get my body…
