Blink - It's September

The long hot summer is (hopefully) nearing it's end.  The weather is still horrendously hot and humid here, but there is a slight change, and the better weather is coming, I can feel it!  Back to school, back to routine.  I've not travelled since mid-August, what for me, feels like an age.  It has been lovely.  I'm not travelling this month, I'm stepping ever so slightly back and thinking of my health and my family.  My next trip is booked for the 7th October and I have another trip towards the end of next month.  There's ADIPEC in November and likely one or two other trips before Xmas, but I'm not going to the extremes of before.  I am not getting my third person, that is so badly needed.  There's no light at the end of the tunnel so I'm slowing down to normal person speed. I'm paid to work 40 hours, therefore 40-45 is more than enough! No more 50 or 60.

I have booked Xmas flights, we will be in England, it's been a while since we were back at Christmas.  NJ will spend NY with his dad.

My little big boy is growing up fast and I'm trying hard to let go a little, he's still my baby and I don't have the benefit of a dad to help me let go... but I'm doing my best.  Next July we will move somewhere where he can have a little more freedom and not be trapped on a compound, he's starting t go to the cinema without me and I've started leaving him in the house for a short time on his own.  Being a single parent is scary at the best of times, but being a single parent to a teenager is just pffffffff!

Life is never perfect, but life is good xx
