The starting solenoid may be shot up.  Replacement time.

Though, not uncommon but it happens,  investigate the starter motor itself.   (Remove from engine,  place on floor ,  get jump leads,  put the bike battery on the floor)
I say this , as you may get sparks flying and wear gloves ,  do it away from the bike itself.   You will know if the starter motor is healthy and spinning strong.

If you press start on the bike itself , and the engine makes a “big thud” sound at the crank ==> check your sprag clutch  (behind the flywheel itself , but i hope not, as its means more work removing the flywheel!)

Good luck and try to take a break so you can enjoy your holidays and return to her with a renewed mind 😉
