The next week

[cosmolinguist]

I'm going to Huddersfield for work on Monday, Wrexham on Wednesday, and at the very end of today I had a call where I ended up agreeing to go to "somewhere near Walsall" on Friday next week (I'm still awaiting the promised email with more specific details than that!).

(For non-locals, these are all 2ish hours away, or less, but one of these in a week would usually be a big deal and leave me really tired the next day and etc.)

They're all trips I really want to make, all for unrelated things that just happen to have turned up at the same time. I'll be fine. But oof!

Tomorrow I'm helping a fellow Queer Club member move heavy furniture to his new place, while V has an unpleasant hospital appointment testing for something potentially serious. Sunday D and I will once again be doing tip runs for V's relative who's clearing out his mum's house...

Everything is... a bit intense at the moment.

I do have almost all of the next week off work (except for a trip to Chester lol, which I actually really want to do). Really looking forward to that.

I hear you on a bit intense! I hope that your events are wonderful, and that things calm down in a beneficial way soon after all that.

Goodness, that's a lot of miles. I'd have to drive it all, because there are no good inter-city train systems here. I first rode trains when I was in Europe the first time (1983). What a great way for me to travel back then. I imagine it still would be now.

Ooof. That’s a lot coming up. Hoping that the unpleasant resolves itself into frustrating but fixable :(
