2024 Week 39 - One Daily Positive, Project 365 and A Selfie a Day.

I was nominated as Colleague of the week by the Head Teacher in my new role as Alternative Provision and Academic Tutor for my Proactiveness. It's a completely new role and whilst I have a line manager and I'm working with Attendance, I am just getting on with things. There is no clear defined route to be followed, I'm making it up as I go along and so far, it's going VERY well.

267  Monday Woke with a headache, it's been going on for 4 days now, along with a chronic stomach ache. Where did all this rain come from? I got soaked through all day, popping in and out of departments. Met Peter in town for a coffee. Home for dinner, a bath, watched TV and did some blogging. I went to bed early.

268  Tuesday Car in for its annual service. Long day in work for me sorting out tutoring. Peter picked me up and straight home for dinner, a night win front of the TV, blogging and some planning.

269  Wednesday Dropped at work, Peter collected me after I finished art club. I dropped him home then off for coffee with work mates. Home at 7pm to watch TV, write up some work notes and sort through some photos.

270  Thursday Half day for the students as there was an open evening. I left at 4pm to get my nails done. Home to read and chill out and an early night.

271  Friday I've had a pain in my stomach for over a week, Popped out of work for GP appointment. I was diagnosed with gall stones back in 2019, medical notes were emailed over from Dubai but hadn't been out on system. GP reviewed scans, had blood tests, urgent scans booked, examined and most likely gall bladder will have to be removed asap. Came home to an empty house as Peter was visiting Stephanie in Gloucester. I spent a couple of hours tidying the garden. Evening spent watching the end of Ludwig.

272 Saturday Up at 6am in pain. Did some blogging and reading. Off to the Three Counties Autumn Show for the day. The rain stayed away, I bought an apple tree for the garden and a few other plants, grasses, a fern and a palm.

273  Sunday It's a year today since we lost Bob the Dog. I've really been struggling this month with his death. One minute I tell myself off for being silly, the next I remind myself, he was my dog and with me every day for 10 years. I wanted to do something nice for myself today but couldn't think of anywhere to go that didn't remind me of him. So it was a normal day, a few tears, a day of cuddles with the cat, reading and coffee with a friend. I bought myself flowers and spent the afternoon in front of the TV.

Books read this week: 2. Re read of Lord of the Flies - William Golding for Year 11. 

Tutor reads (in school) The boy who steals houses, the girl who steals his heart - C.G Drews.

Words written towards book: 0

  2. Well done on the nominations. That year without Bob the dog has gone so fast. It's understandable being hit by it when he was with you so long. Hopefully the gallstones issue being solves may help some of your other issues?
