I’m done with work. No more emails. No more Whatsapp text messages. No more questions. No more polite replies to be made. I got out of at least twenty chatgroups in Whatsapp this morning. My phone was so quiet for the whole day today it felt a little bit uneasy. It was as if I have disappeared from the world and nobody remembered me or needed me anymore.
Counting down one more week to my no pay leave. I am getting stressed up because there still seems to be a lot of work undone and a lot of handover matters to do. I hope I can be more efficient and achieve all that I need to do in the remaining one week ahead.
Counting down two more weeks to being a full-time mum. At the point of typing this, I somehow have a sense of how I would feel a month before I go back to work full-time again. I would probably be writing the same thing as well, and I wonder now, how I would feel then. I hope it’s excitement and anticipation.
Counting down three more weeks to being a full-time mum. At this stage, I have come to accept my new fate, and starting to look forward to the new beginning. I’ve never started my career off with this break in mind, but I think it’s becoming more exciting the more I think about what (more) I could do, and what (more) I could do with my family.
Happy June to everybody! It’s almost half a year gone, and this is already my twenty-third recipe in 2026. I am almost done with work, and I am looking forward to having a lot more time to do the baking and cooking that I want.
