It is the weekend!
It has been one hell of a week, and I've been in a lot of pain with limited movement, but I got through it! My walking stick came today, so at least next week should be easier in terms of movement. I hope.
Our department was given extra money that needs to be spent by next week. It came at a great time as our senior pupils (age 15-17) are starting their research projects in January. Hopefully this years projects will go more smoothly than last years as we will be better kitted out!
We had a guest teacher this week doing Christmas lessons and his classes went over extremely well with our first year pupils (age 11-12). At the end of the day, he came into my office with a fire extinguisher and said, "George says you've never used one of these before." Cue us playing with it and him showing me one of the experiments he shows the pupils.
My kittens continue to make me so happy. No matter how terrible a day they can cheer me up. Right now Sebastian is sat on my lap making biscuits and purring.
I'm so glad to have the house to myself tonight. Needed after a long week. I love my partner's company, but I do cherish my "me time". Maybe it's an only child thing? I don't know. But I'm planning to spend the evening relaxing with my fluffy boys.
We are hosting a friend's birthday party at our place tomorrow. I'm nervous about the amount of cleaning it involves, but it should be fun! I don't get out much at the moment due to my health so it'll be nice to see my friends again. I've already warned them I'll probably be getting an early night, but they're welcome to stay as late as they want. I have earplugs!
