Just where did the last ten days go to? Today has been spent slobbing on the settee, with a little outing to get some new trousers, so I'm now sticking to the new dress code for work, and I've only just got around to getting washed and dressed prior to someone popping around in the next hour. Well, it's arranged for "after 3.00 p.m." which means anything from 2.00 p.m. onwards. [ETA - it was 2.44 p.m.! And, I've only just got back to this at 8.55 p.m.. ]
I've been reminding myself that this stage of the year in my field of work is always tricky, that this year for many reasons well beyond my control is trickier than others, and even I am occasionally allowed to be un-calm.
Anyway, the summer work is over and done with, with only one or two small bits to complete, which I can only do on a work computer. It was well received, and only needs proofreading and a bit of standardisation across the various documents, but to all intents and purposes, I am finished with it. For which I am grateful, as I really did not enjoy doing it, and didn't think it was going to pass muster at all.
I am deeply grateful for a good night's sleep last night. A combination of noisy neighbours, who work shifts (all different ones) and who do not know how to close doors quietly at any time of day or night, re-training myself to the fact that there are two 5 0'clocks in the day, and that in those circumstances two 11 o'clocks are not good news, a couple of evenings out, and emotional exhaustion after the un-calm moment has not been good.
Now, I'm off to research overalls. I might well need them soon.
