This year I've struggled a little with my confidence after a little professional challenge post Christmas. Today however, I've received 2 emails that have restored my self belief. Sometimes overthinking is my worst enemy!

Enjoyed myself in Ruthin archives today. Found out lots of things which has resulted a whole host of new questions that probably will never be answered. One day I might have time to collate all my found knowledge in to book form, but for now I'm logging what I can on FB.

How 'easy' are non teaching interviews?! 50 minutes done. No nonsense. No extreme scenarios. No teaching a bunch of students stuff they've no idea about. I really enjoyed today's interview, just for the change in tone and situation.

Having spent hours carefully marking students' work and adding in 'comments' to support my marks for the examiner, the students have now "resolved" these, resulting in what looks like unmarked work 🙅‍♀️I hate Google docs.

I use my 'tools' (I paid for counselling years ago when it was v bad). I do the mindful walks. I roll with it and acknowledge what it is and try to work out the why. Often, I just nap. #joyFE

It's 19° on a Sunday in May. We are having lunch in a beach bar with this view. This is Wales! This is mental health at its very finest 💛

Started putting together my research on a little known Lady of the local area and were already at 12,000 words and she's still only 40. She lived to 83. Can I make this a phd thesis? I've not even managed to rummage through the Scottish archives yet either!🫨

Today's classroom/office temps were impossible. I took my own fan to work with me today and genuinely feel my workplace need to invest in more air conditioning around the building.

This year of being 40, I've been to the ballet, I've travelled, I've booked concert tickets and I've made sure I've focused on having a good time for me! I spent my 20s too career focused and my 30s just surviving. The rest of my 40s look financially bleak, so this year is fun!

During my #mtptproject coaching sessions I discovered I filled my time with all manner of stuff to hide from the truth of my situation. For the last year I've done hardly anything - limited CPD, stopped volunteering stuff etc and it's all because I listened and acted. Thank you!

I'm currently reading about the rise of these health resorts and I'd imagine living in a city or suburbs makes one really hanker after 'sea air', however living by the seaside I can honestly say murder and scandal isn't something I want to encourage. Solving a missing cat, maybe.

Laughing at the comments...I'm so surprised that I don't do so so many 🤣 these days I pay to have my nails painted and eyebrows waxed because I hate all that presentation stuff. I tend to wear my hair down too as I can't 'do it up' nor be arsed learning how to.
