We burnt out

[The People]

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. As for the non-shift weekend perhaps they were giving you a rest before they started piling things onto you. Or perhaps nobody is calling in right now because hey have to play catch up for Christmas so a night off is not in their schedule.

We worked 2 jobs for many years, always in 2 different fields. Once we were a kitchen worker in the evenings There were many upsides to that job which included a free meal and benefits that we hadn't had for years. It was hard. But the busyness seemed to deflect a lot of stuff we weren't ready to deal with yet.

Wishing you the best with this. And with everything. As for quiet Christmas and New Year's Eve, we have had many of those. As we have grown old we found that it is easier to be alone than to go some place just to be with people. here is much less stress for us.

What can you during the in between jobs that will help with that stress? Maybe you can make a plan or a list. Down time isn't just sleeping. It is self care during our waking hours. Good luck.
