Today was a bit of a write-off, and I was unable to enjoy this uncharacteristic good weather as the change in weather (and the arrival of some proper sun to go with the balmy 10 degree heatwave!) led to an evil headache. So I headed home after lunch and spent the afternoon in bed - still feeling a bit fragile but I've had worse headaches so hopefully by tomorrow I'll be back to normal. I remember when I went to Romania the other year I spent the first couple of weeks with an almost permanent headache due to the air pressure change, it took me ages to adjust. I must be getting old.
Yesterday I had my penultimate day of tutorials. It wasn't the greatest ever as tutorials go, but I did have an unexpected 'pastoral moment' where I was reminded of what I was good at when I was health visiting, how much I miss that side of things, and how if I get a job in academia (I'm looking at doing part-time nursing, part-time academia and some consultancy on the side, all of which will I think bring me closer to what I suspect my wider vocation might be) the aspect I will really enjoy is the pastoral, personal tutoring side of things. Not that I'm applying for anything yet, but I am starting to think about how to get a week's worth of nursing-related study in in the next couple of months to get myself back on the register.
HD has a couple of phone interviews tomorrow; all prayers gratefully appreciated :)
