Its been a strange week. A week where i have desperately tried to keep busy and positive and yet it is without doubt one of the most difficult periods of the year.
So i have found my mood swinging from one extreme to the other.
The Olympics have been amazing and we know how much Mikey would have been enjoying them and making may a comment about the athletes prowess. The mens 100 metres a sure topic of conversation. So a sad time in many ways. The one good thing is that i have been able to watch them all and with no worries about time!
Misery has been relentless in her pursuit recently, she seems to have this instinct when you are at a low ebb and then attacks with such ferocity that i have been wrapped yet again in her black embrace. Often whilst driving! I cant begin to say how hard this week is, preparing the memorial for the paper, I'm only pleased that i had asked last year for the paper to keep my notice on file and then at least i didn't have to go through re reading it out over the phone, but just in case my friend found a copy on her computer and sent it to me. So very kind. Still that's done now until Friday when the Cambs Times is delivered and we will see it again in black and white.
We are going to Wicken Fen again this weekend to watch the Perseid Meteor shower and to set of some sky lanterns for Mikey, a few more of us going this year.
I have been for two interviews and been lucky to have been offered them both. I'm going for the one with the opportunity to do Diploma in Dementia and then a Degree. Not sure of start date, well that's because i haven't told them i have accepted! perhaps know more tomorrow! After all the turmoil of the last 8 weeks i do believe that all things happen for a reason and up to now it would appear that leaving my job has been the best thing for me. I didn't see it at the time but i know time will tell however I'm feeling positive. Looking forward to a new challenge!
Running, well i ran alone last night and managed 5.7 miles! so quite pleased but today the knee has been sore. Sister Jen went for a trial session with her local running club! goodness after watching me in one race it has inspired her to join the ranks of street runners. I hope she does well.
I have booked a place in the Great Eastern run and should be doing a half marathon but do wonder if i will be fit enough. I need to get some longer runs in now if i can manage it otherwise i will not be able to do it even if fit!!
Up to Doncaster all day today helping out at Toms, Duke has become quite a seasoned traveller!
I must remember camera, tripod and head light for the weekend! still i needn't worry about that now, after all Tomorrow is another day.........................
