Intelligible

I’m currently feeling:
Pleased.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
A lovely day yesterday. Saw baby Elinor in the morning and C’s ex but she kept herself to herself. Then onto London. Our travel was effortless and we arrived at Greenwich just ahead of R. We wandered around Queens House first, parts of which we didn’t recognise, but I think it wasn’t all fully open when we last visited.  Not quite sure it was necessarily what R was expecting. We had lunch at Zizzi’s on the river front. I ate too much and felt somewhat bloated, but it was good. We did manage to get information out of R as to the Master’s course she’d alluded to previously, but been secretive about. She’s enrolled in a full time MA in Museums Cultures and Collection Management. She says she will need to leave her current job and get apart time one to fit round it but received a full grant for the year long course. She also wants to do some volunteering at a museum or gallery to gain experience. She said that if she had the qualification already there were 20 jobs available to her now, starting on more then she’s on at the moment. She seems to have worked it all out and financially sorted, but of course we’ve said we’ll support her it she needs it. We’re so proud and pleased for her and wonder if she didn’t want to say anything before, until it had all gone through. We walked all along the river’s edge until we got to the O2, then parted ways. I clocked up over 8 miles walking. My feet were aching by the time we got home.

My desired feeling:
Intelligable.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
I have a maths practice paper this morning and need to get my home laptop set up for it. Then this afternoon, I will be practising facilitating an Action Learning Set as part of a 3day course I’m on for that. I’ve decided therefore to work from home today. That does also mean I’d be able to fit in a JWW as I won’t have a commute and we don’t have early learners practice tonight as there’s something going on in the cathedral. I need to get things set up for the maths exam, and do some prep for the ALS this afternoon as I’d need to keep good track of timing.

I‘ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Dressed down today. Grey jeans but bright orange tshirt. Basic “bellringing” jewelry consisting of Gibralter bracelet, birthstones necklace and diamond stud earrings. Comfortable for being at home and ringing later.

I will show up for myself by:
I didn’t do any food prep last night when we got in, I was too tired. C said he’ll cook my lentils for me later and as I’m home, I can prep the rest fresh when I want it. Making sure I get back to the healthy eating after yesterday’s blow out.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Stuck at home today so no chance of a walk, but at least I’ll be able to eat my lunch using proper crockery and utensils rather than out of a plastic tub with a camping spork.

I will show up for my extra ordinary goal by:
I’ve have time to check emails before going ringing but I don’t think there’s too much to worry about. Will encourage C to book our CCCBR AGM tickets etc.

Today I am:
At home.

Today I am grateful for:
A lovely day yesterday. R seemed to be ok and chatty once we’d started and she’d told us about her course. Really proud of her for following her dreams.
