Positives

Good News ....

  1. Gnome is starting to improve - a day of eye drops every 2hrs and lots of calpol did work. He still isn't eating much mind (3 crackers yesterday) which is a worry but he is happier than he was.
  2. Physio says I have been a good pixie and worked on my exercises! No need to do the basic one any more but he has given me 3 new ones to do, one of which was made harder 'cos I "got it" too easily!!

I didn't get up for my swim today :-( as the alarm went off, I turned it off then fell back to sleep!! Hope to swim at least once this week if possible. Then next week I will start doing some 20mins runs (hopefully 3-4 during the week) and have a 1.5m circle plotted at work.

As for camp, well the sample schedule says:

I can't see me doing many runs but we will see. I hope to get there about 4 on Friday but don't think I will run after the long drive for example but I couldn't miss the camp as it looks so great and there are so many forum folks there!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
