We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.
Well, I can’t say that I’ve been doing too hot with my reading lately. ๐
I hope to be spending some part of my Sunday in bed finishing Our Rogue Fates. I don’t know why I slowed down on reading thisโwell, I guess my mood is a big factor in that, but I need to get it read before my tour stop this week, so that’s gonna be my main focus.
What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?
I’ve been feeling rather stressed, anxious and well, emotional this week! I’m finding that work is presenting a lot of uncertainty lately. It’s a known fact that we’re struggling with fundingโthe landscape has changed so much in the past year it feels like all ships are capsizing in the development sectorโbut there’s been no guidance or clarity from leadership about what’s going to happen. It’s not looking good for June, I’m afraid, and I’m wondering if people are stuck in denial or are just really that optimistic about a positive turnaround. Honestly, I wish that could be me, but it’s not, so my anxiety has been shooting up and down all week!
I’ve also been helping my parents prepare for their trip to Central Asia in May, and they’re literally leaving at the end of this week, but there’s still so much to do! Their original tour plans fell through and none of their “friends” seems to be doing much sharing of details about where and how they booked their own trips. It makes me sad for my parents because these “friends” have no issue asking for help when they need it but can’t give it in return. Growing older is complicated and seeing my parents being treated this way breaks my heart a bit. That said, it also makes me stressed AF because I’ve essentially become their travel agent and let me tell ya, it’s no fun, haha! ๐คฃ
Sorry for that bit of a rant. It’s been a… tough week! ๐ฎโ๐จ

I think uncertainty with your job is a valid source of stress. Maybe proactively seeing what else is out there may help alleviate some of that stress. That is sad about your parents “friends”. I hope all works out and they have an amazing trip.

Yeah, I’ve had my job radar on for the past 8 months actually, so I guess this shouldn’t really come as a surprise to me. However, the job market at the moment doesn’t really alleviate much stressโI feel like it’s increasing it because of how tough it feels to find something suitable. I’ve applied to a few jobs here and there over the past few months, but no luck there. I know I have to get more serious about it. I’m just tired, lol. I’m so tired.

I’ve been slightly obsessed with 3oh!3.. one of their tunes has been going waves on tiktok and the signers themself are back!! While I know they also aged as the rest of us … the fact one of the two is white haired now?? Kinda hard to wrap my head around ๐ซข
Sad to hear about your work, hopefully it will wrap around; or at the very least something opens up for you !
