How I'm planning on taking a month off
Sharing the numbers, the privilege and the anxiety. Plus I'll probably work anyway.
I’ve decided to take some time off this year. The last time I went on vacation was January 4, 2020. We came back from Mexico in January and it was pretty much straight into the anxiety that was/is COVID-19.
(To this day I’m so glad my friend and I said no to dancing in a jungle for New Year’s Eve. I come from the Caribbean, there is nothing fun or festive about dancing in a forest. You know what’s in a jungle? Bugs that bite you and give you dengue or yellow fever.) Yes, I have been vaccinated for yellow fever.
