After all the jabs I have had for this trip it is only Sod’s law that my last week in work I get ill. I am covered for yellow fever, hep b, malaria and many others (to be honest feeling like a human pin cushion was a definite low point in my prep process) so I thought I was invincible to any infection. Well watching others complain of coughs and sniffles and feeling smug that I was vaccinated to the max didn’t last long.
I am currently tucked up in bed with lemsip on a drip, Jeremy Kyle on repeat and my mind running through all that is left on my to do list. Feel gutted that my last week in work has turned out like this. I wanted to make sure I said goodbye to those who I have worked with for over five years and just get my head in the zone that once I have switched off my computer for that final time then I am off on my own!
The other downside with feeling poorly, weak and delicate is that I am an emotional wreck! Everything is getting on top of me and I am starting to feel anxious with every day that passes just how much is going to change, can I actually do this and how will I cope with all this change. From having a great job, fantastic loved ones around me and a comfortable life I am striding out on my own into cultures and countries I have little knowledge of but instead of freaking out I need to focus on what I will learn, the people I will meet and yes it won’t be easy but I know once I have achieved it I will feel so proud.
