Many thanks to the lovely you-know-who-you-are, who sent me a private message on the Ship today to tell me she's just coming to the end of her health visiting Return to Practice course. As she only (as far as I know) started it in September, that has given me *tons* of hope that letting my health visiting qualification lapse won't be the end of the world, and it will only take a few months to pick it up again. You've absolutely no idea how much that has helped.
I still haven't 100% decided to let it lapse and start the PhD next year rather than the year after (I'm about 95% at the moment). But it makes the decision a whole lot easier and less pressured. Thank you.
In other news, I had my Russian class tonight, and although I basically had no clue what the teacher was banging on about after missing the last two classes, I still felt OK about it and (unlike previous lessons) didn't want to cry or sleep. I have (almost, pretty much, more or less) decided to drop out after Christmas - I have the book and the CD-ROM so can do it at my own pace, and the alphabet is no longer a mystery to me so that in itself will be a huge help when I start language lessons for the PhD (she says, assuming she'll be doing the PhD :D). Feeling v.good about that decision. I'd just forgotten how draining evening classes are after a full-time job - when I'm paid to be a student it will be an entirely different thing.
Isn't it amazing the difference a few hours make to your mood?
Thanks also to the people who've commented on my blog recently sending hugs and prayers and stuff - you've no idea how much it means to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
