This upcoming holiday has been an absolute shit show and we haven't even left yet. You couldn't write a movie script like this.
Sometimes all you can do is sit back and laugh.
Geez i must have run over a heap of black cats, smashed a ton of windows and been a cruel bastard in a previous life.
Sux mate and I hope it somehow works out for ya. The health and happiness of your family is the main thing, as long as you've got that then everything else is manageable.
Yeah true mate.
At this stage if the plane lets us get on it we are going.
I hate doing this and i would never post stuff like this on the socials but really struggling with the mental stress at the moment.
I have put so much energy and hard work into this holiday. For the first time in my life the last three years has seen me focus on being serious about making a career. It has been very successful but i have worked 50 hours weeks non stop for that period (im sure some people work harder so im not complaining about that) but the end reward of my hardwork was meant to be this gift to my family.
This summer has been one of the most stressful peroids in my life, taking on 3 facilities under my wings in 3 different. Putting myself out there to do state conference public speaking which is really out my comfort zone. The one carrot that has got me through this was the eye on the prize. Now that is looking like it could slip away im genuinley struggling to get out of bed in the morning. This was one of the reasons i just had to play cricket last week...i needed it.
If we cant get on that plane i honestly can't go to work during that time we should have been on holiday. I will be an absolute mess. I literally and happily put my life on hold for this. I have paid for the whole experience in cash, haven't used a single loan or debt to get this done for my family.
I know its just a holiday, but this has meant a lot more to me than that.
Right now my head is spinning, gut is churning and my mind is a complete mess.
Sorry for the rant.
