Stress

 I can’t seem to settle at anything at the moment. The deadline for voluntary redundancies is ten days away  and so my colleagues and I have to live with the uncertainty  until then and beyond.
I’m not sleeping well and I don’t feel like writing the blog 
I feel lethargic and out of sorts .
Of course things divert me for a while The Gilded Age has proved a slow burn of a watch with Bertha Russell’s social climb in 1890s New York and the sudden arrival of the dishy English Duke Hector ( Ben Lamb) 

I may omit posts these next few days…until I know what my employment fate it
Hey ho

    John, waiting is the worst! I’m so sorry you’re being dragged through this. I will miss you if you aren’t up to writing, but I want you to do what is best for you. You are loved by so many. Don’t forget that. Sending love and hugs, Carol in Atl❤️

  7. Uncertainty is very stressful. No wonder you can't think straight. I, like most of your readers, am hoping all will be well for you and your colleagues. Take a hug from me. xx

    Not easy but be gentle on yourself - enjoy the furries, coffee, the sun, good food and breathe🙏. Hope all settles soon. Jan in Castle Gresley
