I have not been on one single holiday this year. Let that sink in just for one brief moment; I have not had one single holiday this year. Not a week off work. No time in lieu. No day or two to kick back and put my feet up and certainly not a few weeks away in the sun, getting a tan, having delicious food and drinks and relaxing. No way, no how. It is not a nice feeling, seeing those around you jetting off around the world and coming back looking beautiful, tanned and relaxed.

I think I have run out of time, though. It is already mid-November – with just 6 weeks left of the year there is almost no chance that I could book time and book the holiday that I would want to go on. I will probably just spend my time sulking instead – starting right now.
