So, it looks like I'm getting my life back.
It will be really nice to get out and take photos again, get out in the fresh air, or even the rain, at week-ends - rather than just burrowing myself away because I'm too knackered and can't be bothered. It will be great to get back to using LJ properly again, catching up with you all and being the kind of friend I want to be - rather than the reclusive, silent friend I seem to have been for far too long. I've missed you all and my occasional forays into the LJ world just haven't been enough. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now and it is a good light.
So, once again, I'm sorry that I haven't been as attentive as I should have been, or wanted to be, but, I'm getting my life back, so I hope I'm getting my friends back too.
In a couple of weeks I will be in The Netherlands, staying with friends over Christmas. It will be a great chance to unwind, to be with people who mean a great deal to me and to take photos I don't have the opportunity to take every day. I'm really looking forward to that.
Before that I have to get my head around the last of my Christmas shopping and make sure that everything that should have been done has been done. Then I can get into the mood and go with the flow and have a good break. For the first time ever I'm taking a long break over the Christmas period. I didn't have a holiday during the summer because of the webby stuff, so I think I deserve it. So, when I finish work on Monday 21 December I will know that Christmas can begin and I won't have to concern myself with work until 4 January. That will be nice and it will give me my life back.
