I've mended my comfy chair. It's had wobbly legs for a while now, and after the graceful-ish collapse of said chair, whilst I was pondering a blog post one day, it was diagnosed as ill, but nor terminal. But, it's taken a few weeks to organise myself enough to do without it whilst the glue was setting for 24 hours! It finally happened yesterday.
So, I'm now back to blogging and fun-computery stuff in the comfort of a chair that's not wobbly, and is far more comfortable than blogging at my desk! I am not convinced this is going to improve the quality, but it's definitely improving my comfort levels.
So, having had a decent break from the deep thinking, it's time it began again. It will involve thinking about questions of jobs and where to live.... I do chose my moments to be going in for a dramatic change in my life. But, even if it's a case of I haven't a clue where I'm going and what I'm going to be doing, I do know I cannot remain where I am. Every day now, it seems, there is further confirmation I'm doing the right thing. Sometimes it's little, little things, other times, like this morning, it was the arrival of the paperwork from a meeting I had been excused from, and as I read, it felt as if it had nothing to do with me at all. It's the fact that no-one I've told so far has been surprised, (though, that may come, it's only my closest friends who know there's anything to know).
Do I go back to being a student again?
Do I see if I really am called to primary school teaching, and untangle that which went so horribly wrong for me there twenty years ago. I've been doing classroom assistant work on and off, over the last 18 years or so, and recently had several teachers wondering why I'm not teaching!
Do I revert to a former incarnation and work as a piano and clarinet teacher? Possibly some basic organ teaching! There is a serious shortage of organists!
Do I think about social work?
Do I think about working in bookshops again... maybe not long term.
Do I think about FE teaching? There are several options there...
Luckily, there's no rush about any of this!
