Well. Something that should have taken just 100 days to complete has taken me over 5 years and 4 jobs. Starting on August 31st, 2020, it’s taken me 2006 days to complete the #100DaysToOffload challenge … !
Since starting the series of blog posts, much has changed. Then, we were in the middle of the first UK pandemic/lockdown. Thoughts were very much focused on the health of friends and family, and we were generally looking forward to a time when we could travel and meet the family again. COVID is, if you believe the world media, over and done (it is not, people are still very ill and getting infected), the world is in a very dark place politically and morally (and getting darker), and there is much to complain and worry about.
It isn’t getting any easier.
Sometimes I just couldn’t / can’t ‘offload’ my stresses as it’s too personal or too easy to identify who it’s aimed at !! Many posts were written and many deleted before posing for this very reason. Sorry. After this list are the titles of some post I wrote but never published. I wonder why?
Here is a full list of the posts I wrote during that time period – I got a little lost in the numbering a few times during the series of posts, but eventually caught up with myself and put it right at the time of publishing this list:
