Hi all
I’m still here, slogging along, not making much progress but that’s what it is. I’m trying to be at peace with that.
Will post more when I can get my head straight, I’ve felt very pensive and contemplative the last couple of weeks, and not a little down, but I’m trying to pull myself back up a day at a time.
On the plus side…..:I got my promotion! I am now interim (for six months at the moment) director of academic quality, it’s a big change for me but a needed one and I’m daunted but excited. The interview was horrible and I was sure I’d fluffed it but the panel was really impressed apparently. Someone round here might have told me off a little bit for not believing in myself…..:so I’m trying to take those ahem *wise* words on board and at least be proud of myself.
Just wanted to drop in quickly to say hi to everyone and send my good wishes to those who have difficulties at the moment.
Oh and Cecelia, welcome, I would hardly say I’m an expert here, I know the science, what I lack is the willpower and energy to actually commit to it! But I have to plan as well if I’m going to have any chance, I also have to make sure there’s variety, and I have to make sure everything has flavour – I can’t do bland, and I can’t do repetitive, so the herbs and spices get used to oblivion! I also suffer horrendously from carb flu every single time I start again so I sympathise with that, I’ve never yet found the cure so I can’t offer advice but I sympathise!
Will write more later in the week
Big love
(Ps SunnyB nice to have you back for a few weeks!)
