Last Monday (has it been that long??) I posted about a dilemma with my thyroid medication. So it turns out I did take a double dose. For the record I am not doing that again!! Anxiety off the charts and it took two days to get over the tiredness and feeling really weird.
Coming off that last week was a blur of trying to do too much and not quite hitting the mark. I was attending an event with some past students and wanted to make myself a new dress, I am attempting Novel November and I trying to get a handle on a large garden that has been somewhat neglected for the last few years.
I did get some mowing and garden tidying done with the help of Mr Jones and The Unicorn. I didn’t quite get the dress finished. In hindsight that probably wasn’t a bad thing. The dress I ended up wearing was spectacular. Novel November is an uphill battle. I am well behind with the word count. But I will keep chipping away. The story has merit and I have aspired to writing something a little more serious like this for a while. So life goes on.
Working as a substitute / relief teacher is a frustrating thing. Most days you get up and wonder if you will get a call to work today. On the days when you would really like a call it generally doesn’t happen. On the days when you probably don’t want work you get a call and have to decide if you want to let someone down or re-arrange your whole day. It is frustrating and I am struggling with the constantly changing plans. More FAFO that I am not enjoying.
The event with my past students went well though. Last year I made a joke that I was attending my last school formal ever. Then in 2025 I find myself at another one! Maybe this one is the last one. I won’t make any grand statements about it this time. I did have to get up and wash my hair for it though. I love the way my hair sits when it is wet. What do you think?
