Hooray, it's the weekend! Have not had a good week - was feeling overwhelmed anyway when my head of department landed me with some more, fairly urgent work. It's good work - we got through to the second round of a funding bid - but it's got a deadline on it, and I Don't Do Deadlines. Either I take ages to do something (my deadline being, Whenever), or I do it the minute I get the task (hangover from being that irritating child who did homework the day it was set), or I do it on my Set Day for doing that task, and if I run out of time on that day, I set another day (Friday being Admin Day, for example...).
Inflexible, me? I was almost in tears, though, in the staff meeting on Wednesday, and I think what with one thing and another (working overseas, Easter, a holiday) this is actually only my second full week in the office after the miscarriage, I was exhausted from a busy weekend in London, and they started talking about a colleague's maternity leave. It all got too much for me.
Anyway we are off to a Posh Hotel tomorrow to celebrate having been married a year (that can't be right, must be a typo). A present from my mum arrived in the post but the present I ordered for The Spouse™ hasn't arrived... grr... And I am a complete mug, because I have agreed to spend tomorrow (the day before our Revolutionary Anniversary Day - I was banned from decorating the church in red, but we did wear red roses, though it was mainly a Lancashire thing...) at The Spouse™'s old church's weekend away. He's very persuasive when he tries. But Sunday is all ours...
