Joy and happiness.
This is a kind of mini break before the real holiday fortnight or three weeks from mid-August. I have seven more work days on work premises, and 12/15 working from home days to get in, but until mid-September, time becomes much more my own.
I am so looking forwards to the cutting back on the travelling for this next couple of months, especially as for all of the remaining days I can go in a little later, and catch the one train a day in the work-wards direction which is a through train. (It's such a treat!)
Dith and Ian, I can only attribute the resumption of near-normal service to the fact one very large layer of uncertainty has been removed. In fact, the main phase I've been going through since the start of this blog has finally come to an end, but there was no telling exactly when that was going to happen. Decision had been formally made, the process was under way, but I could've been waiting for the final confirmation for some time to come yet. It was a three part process, and anyone of three people not being in the right place at the right time could've delayed things even further.
I've not quite resumed normal service in real life yet. I'm waiting for two people who I want to know the news first to be told, (as they've been over and above supportive through this past two years), then I will be sending out those letters and e-mails! My immediate work colleagues know, but as I keep work friends and private life friends very separate, I know they don't know these two friends of mine.
I think had I not also been going through huge uncertainty about work as well as in other areas of my life, I might not have felt such a need to isolate myself quite so thoroughly. The work stuff is still not quite resolved, but I'm assured it will be soon.
Tomorrow was going to be an all day shopping trip with relations, but they have just rung to suggest I just meet them for lunch. Which I'm quite relieved about... I'm not really into shopping for dresses!!
