Happy Monday

A bit of an Oxymoron, don't you think? But mine has been happy so far. I've been lazy, yes, lazy. Didn't sleep in late though, thanks to the Mollster, but i've done nothing except lie around on my granny's rather posh reclining sofa, play solitaire on my computer, and eat lots of chocolate.

I went back to church last night, and didn't get home till about half 10. As i'm so old, I was tired right about then, but my granny, being the young spring chicken she is, sat up till 1! Eventually, I fell asleep in front of the computer waiting for her, and she took pity on me and went to bed.

So, here I am, stuffed with chocolate, cheese and corned beef toasties, and potato bread, with absolutely no idea of what to tell you today. The only thing of import I can think of is that i've been short listed for a job, a really good one. It's working in a special school with children who have CP (cerebral palsy). It's ideal actually. Means I can specialise quickly, and be paid at the level of my knowledge, not the time spent in the NHS. They don't work on a banded/graded system, as the hospitals do, so they pay you according to how well you perform. The interview has a practical element too, which is wonderful. Up until now, it's been all theory based which really makes me mad. I mean, how can you judge how well a therapist will perform in clinic by sitting down over a cup of tea (or water in my case), and asking them what they know and how they know it?

The interview's on the 10th of November, and i'll be working directly with the kids from 9:30 until 1:30. I'm looking forward to it. I'll need to dig out my smiley face and 'I was brave' stickers, and then find something for the kids to have as a reward! I even have a sticker that says, "I'm a big girl now". I'm considering putting it on my badge. It would be such a statement!

That's it, that's all I can think of to tell you. Oh, apart from the fact that the lodger has stolen my dog's affections! She even sneaked off to his bedroom with him while I was at church... It must be love!

I've also managed to miss the memorial service of a very dear friend, and one time tutor of mine. Also missed her funeral sadly, both times due to the fact that I was in Ireland. I thought it was on Wednesday, so booked an early flight. But as it turns out, it's tomorrow instead. I'm quite sad that i've missed it. Another friend down that direction's going through some difficult times too, so I really must get down that way soon, so that we can commiserate with each other, and perhaps even support one another! He's not allowed to get down in the dumps... He's one of my job referees! See? there was no alterior motive in that offer of support at all!

Anyway, i'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here for things to tell you, so like you probably have, i've decided i've had enough for the day. I might write more tomorrow, but then again, I might not! If you comment enough, i'll give you a fresh instalment. Do it... Do it now!
