The past few weeks...

My life seems to have taken a turn a few weeks ago. Sudden onslaught of work to do, errands to run, people to meet from all possible aspects of my life. I've barely had time to talk to my mom, do any bit of 'stoning' (in my dictionary means staring into space and not doing anything), or even watch strictly come dancing on tv. haha in some sorts it was an amazing time, just 'diving into things and swimming over wave after wave'.

1) Started my PA job with a family. little boy has CP so I'm to get him ready for school in the morning. That means 6am starts for me, fighting the morning traffic and waiting for buses which never are on time.
2) went to London to meet Dawn and friends
3) Started testing in schools for my research project. I was testing in a school in the next city too. that means more early morning starts to catch the early train.
4) Birthday celebrations
5) had an Autism Symposium to prepare for. It was organized by my supervisor to feedback to parents, children, schools who have participated in our previous projects, and fellow collaborators.
6) My Monday volunteering group starting again (SOUL and FAME) after rising from the ashes, due to management and funding issues.

The waves have stopped for a bit the past few days. As I've been telling quite a few people, I quite enjoyed having some normality back in my life, and being able to fit jogging in, in the morning. I went to ASDA supermarket today just to try out grocery shopping there. Had the weekly rider from having to travel to schools during the week. Not a very short journey at all, about 40 minutes. totally 'stoned' on the way there and back even though I brought my much neglected psychologist magazines with me...

having friends round for potluck dinner. :p making my well-practiced spinach and cheese lasagne again. this time though its without the recipe. bbc for some reason took it off their website. we'll just have to see if my improvization works this time :)
