If you thought "Starbucks in Middlewich" then you'd be right! Duh. It seems to be the only place I find the space to blog... or think at all! It's been a whirlwind month with my Mom here and Matilda being off of school, and starting work after years out, meetings to formally end support that I've been receiving (once you get a job then there is no more funding for your support, the system needs some work!).
Saturday is my only child free day. My mom was still asleep when I left to take Miss Mouse to her Dad (don't get me started on why I'm having to drive her to their visitation....).
I have the structure of my lesson plans down but I have no meat on the bones. I've had to cancel a social engagement from months ago with friends who will be over from the USA, because now I have a job...they've stopped over close to me to visit specifically....so it kind of really stinks.
I have a full day on Tuesday and then have to drive out to Abergele, North Wales for a short break.
24 hours later we'll be back off home! So some nice salt air and time by the sea...very little is as good for my soul as being near the sea. *sigh*
I am STRESSED.
I feel like life is spinning around me, out of my control.
I'm trying to remember so many jobs and dates and lists and things - I don't function my best without routine. I know some people totally hate having structure, but I need it! I can relax when I know where I need to be when and for what reason.
Sitting here, sipping a almond milk mocha and typing away has helped me calmmmm down!
A few deep breaths, a bit of caffeine, a bit of podcast listening, looking at pics of Abergele and thinking about the sea have all helped.
Phew. Best get some work done while I'm not freaking out!
