Not much to report. I am practicing my relaxation techniques in readiness for the madness that is the end of the year. I am switching off from work when I leave and only thinking about it again in a designated time, if that is necessary at all. I am writing my to-do-list for the next day before I leave so that I don’t need to think about that, too. If I am worrying about something, I try to only have thoughts that are helpful, not just true. It is more worry about the work that is to come than anything that is happening now.
What else? A friend of mine has fallen in love with an old beau in Jamaica. The only problem is that she is now back in Melbourne. It is a lovely thing, though. She is releasing her album soon and may be able to get back over there. We are all eagerly waiting.
I’m practicing my public speaking at the moment (mostly just to students). It has been interesting to give it more thought. Instead of standing up the front, protecting myself with my forms and notes, racing through the material, I am trying to be more interactive and move more. At least I have always been able to hide my nerves so that they don’t show in my voice. Nothing worse than loosing it or tremoring.
Also, I miss my friend at work ‘Sophie’. Haven’t been able to get a daily update of his happenings, which are always ill fated and hilarious. I hope he is having an ace holiday!
