Sadly the fever has not yet gone, and despite my attempt to
go to work I really couldn’t concentrate and so after my lessons had finished,
I came home and went to bed. Fortunately
my teaching load is not great at this time of year, so I didn’t feel I was
letting my students down if I put my needs first. It’s one of those things in teaching, much as
good self-care demands you balance your needs against those of your work place,
the reality is we all struggle on when we shouldn’t. Some work places use illness as a weapon for
picking off the ‘weak’, but that’s for another day, as I have told myself this
is a daily task, and today I have really struggled to find any contentment, and
remembering pains of the past hardly fulfils the remit.
So I have had a supper that on other days I would have found
pleasing, but it was just food, I have continued my knitting, but that has kept
me occupied between dizzy spells rather than comfort in rhythm and feel, and now Skyfall is on ITV2.
It’s a film I know very well, doesn’t challenge, so the fact I can only
concentrate for a few minutes at a time doesn’t matter. Fortunately it’s full of rather handsome men
and Daniel Craig’s portrayal of James Bond as belligerent and single minded
rather suits me this evening. Plus he
does take his top off every so often. Gratuitous
I know, but I call it a coping strategy.
