Courses.
Not having worked for almost a year has left me not knowing/trusting my concentration span. And now that I seem to average 2 docs a week instead of 4, I have A) more time B) more headspace for other things. Moving forward type things! Course no. one is a craft course offered for women with any form or mental illness. It’s a lovely group, very nurturing and laid-back. And I seem to have a new crafty hobby. That’s been going for a while, only 2 weeks left unfortunately.
Course no 2 is an introduction to reception and administration. Parts of it are so boring I want to bang my head against the keyboard for fun, other parts are ok. My typing speed needs some work… mostly though, at the end of it I’ll have a piece of paper saying that I can do a bunch of things I’ve had to do in other jobs anyway. But a piece of paper! Also means I’ve been sitting in class for 3.5 hours and actually being ok with it. In fact, if it weren’t for the boredom, I think my concentration span wouldn’t even blink. Three weeks down, three to go for that.
Concentration wise, I’m also back to being able to read properly. Novels and I, after an extended relationship break, are officially back together!
