Preparation

Is everything.

Spa day tomorrow. Lounging around, swimming, bit of pampering and a lot of gossiping.

I did run around in the staffroom, perhaps rather too joyfully after the end of the school day. Mentally, it was a milestone in relation to the forthcoming surgery...half term, then 4 school weeks...doesn't feel as far away as it did when the cancellation letter arrived just a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, I intend to ignore anything work related until the day before we go back. Time to relax, enjoy the company of my family and friends and try to restore some balance.

It was a nice end to the term - saw the former boss for beer (coffee for me) and giggles with an ensemble of the girls from work (plus Kieran!). Only slight downside was almost falling over on the steps down to the car park - turned around, saw stars and sparkles and briefly the lights flickered in my head. Fortunately didn't black out otherwise that would have been unpleasant.

Now to sleep.
