It has indeed been a while - but I've been a busy little bee!!
From being assaulted at school protecting a year 9 scallywag from being harshly beaten in front of me - to putting on a successful Junior Westovian Production (my first directing experience) I've had some highs and indeed, lows.
The 'assault' gave me a week of work whilst my shoulder recovered - although it still likes hurting at inopportune times - but it gave me a chance to chillax.
But the main issue right now is as per Kathryn usual, a medical thing. I had an appointment with the Newcastle Pain Clinic, and so we're experimenting with higher doses of existing pain meds, in the hope of reducing codine intake - which is great great news. Although it currenting has my meds intake at 36 a day!!
But as well as that, I had an appointment with Specsavers - turns out I've issues with vision in my right eye that they can't fix with lens - so I've been referred to the hospital to see what can be done, but it could be a long term / life long thing - blurred vision isn't my idea of a long term medical fun!!
Anyways, last few days of the Easter break will be spent marking and adding up Year 11 grades. Joy.
Back to HMS on Monday for a 3 day week - love NUT strikes & moderation days. But then 4 weeks and I'm leaving - career choice ahead & do I choose teaching or call centre / something equally brain numbing.
Who knows eh???
