Time to take a break

 My challenge now is NOT to work for a week !  Im having a weeks holiday, but only about 30 miles away near the town of Penrith. Its on the edge of the Lake District, and very centrally placed to reach some interesting and nice areas that would be a trek from home. 

Ive spent several months keeping busy just to keep my mind. I at last feel like travelling outside my area now. Im hoping I can settle in a fresh house though. My mind nor body has not liked at any time being idle for 2 seasons now. I crave routine work. Usually after a winter of such work Im in the complete opposite frame of mind, and cant wait to get away and rest.

I honestly can say that a weeks ago I would not have wanted to go away, so thats another improvement. I have no desire to travel the usual 330 miles north this year though. What will be unusual is being still quite " local " or travelling to things which are in my sphere of what I class as "home ". Stopping literally at home in the spring when I always go away was an experience too that ive never had. It showed me a side to this area I had not seen, a missing jigsaw piece ,and maybe a new situation I needed to face - how to cope when feeling mentally unwell, and so uneasy like a wandering ghost.

I would like to thank another blogger for being with me in those scary times. They had an understanding of the symptoms I was suffering. It really helped when everyone around me seemed to not surprisingly struggle to always " get " what was wrong with me over the months. Ive felt a " tribulation " and " collapse " of something coming for years as you do.

There is an internet connection where Im going and shall post IF it works.  Why do holiday places have unusable televisions and unreliable complicated internet ? Can you master the tv remotes ? Unlikely...lol Hell hath no fury like a daughter with no wi-fi either.
