There have been times this week when I’ve been so overwrought with stress that I haven’t been able to get the words out when speaking. It’s a bit concerning, (which adds to the stress), and I am realising that things need to change as this level of ineptitude is not sustainable. It feels like something is short-circuiting in my brain. Headaches are common, as is a desire to eat more crap. So, I’ve got a strategy.
1. Deal with things head-on.
2. Get more exercise.
3. Get more sleep
4. Suggest that Friends of Beckermet School cut down on their events as currently I am not coping.
Behind the scenes I have started reading my book for the new book club, (Oryx and Crake) and I’m loving it.
I also sent off a flurry of applications for online writing jobs and one has come to fruition. Go me. Except it’s writing other people’s essays and dissertations which I find morally troubling. Also, practicably, it’s going to be hard as I don’t have an academic library nearby. So oh dear. I think I’m going to have to be choosy about what I say I can do for them.
About to make the pastry for Friday’s Moorish Tart, so I’d better crack on.
