Gotta really get through this day quick, Mamma Chebbles is having her surgery for cancer today so wanting to hit the end and here she is ok. Also, got to have an awkward conversation about payment on some house work today.
Just very much willing time to skip a bit. Might go get a nice pastry in town for lunch to help.
I’m assessing some presentations this morning, which is lucky because my voice is on the verge of giving up completely. The class this afternoon is going to be a challenge.
It’s quite cold here today. I think I might need a coat.
On my way into work, feeling ropey as hell, and got a fucker of a day lined up as well. Lots of meetings that need careful choreography to not go to shite.
At preschool with kiddo today, hopefully for the last day. Then need to get our old car washed somehow. Then need to start sorting my shit out to job hunt.
Am currently stuck en route to Southend. The train is making too much progress for me to justify sacking it off and heading home, but is being too slow for me to enjoy the journey. Gonna be late to my meeting. I’m not going to miss this shit when I move on, I tell you.
Got my first aid refresher training today.
I know it’s great and an important thing to do and could save lives and what have you but I really hate the course.
Loads of mnemonics (fine) and role play (fuck off)
Day off today since it’s a school strike and my other half has appointments at both the eye hospital and the dentist today, so my day will be part taxi service, part standing around in freezing cold parks
Hadn’t really thought about it until now but the “Distance between dreams & reality is action” thing is really offensive reductive, capitalist, neoliberal bullshit that assumes that if you’re not achieving it’s because you’re not trying hard enough rather than eg a complex network of socio-economic factors built on centuries of wealth extraction and hoarding of resources focused on promoting the opportunities of those already born into privilege
