End of an Era
Today was my last official day of teaching my evening class numeracy. Kind of sad I suppose, but more a relief. Of course not actually teaching as the poor souls did their exam last week so the 2 determined attendees chatted for an hour and that was the end of that. I probably aught to have spend my bonus evening doing lots of important things but instead I'm recovering from a post biscuit trauma...
I've got so used to not eating biscuits that I forget how exhausting they are - Had a truly dreadful time of most of today (you know things aren't going well when you have done no work but gained lots of work by 2 pm in the day) so went out to do some real work - ie shopping that couldn't be got from our stationery suppliers, and dropped in at the shop and bought us biscuits. I guess it's about 3 months since I ate biscuits and did I feel rough about 4 - 9 pm this evening. Just tired and heavy and like I was full of stuff my body didn't know how to process. Guess it's back to the no processed sugar diet for me then. I may have been unhappy but I wasn't filled with self loathing - no need to punish myself like that! I think I may have trained my body to see "healthy" stuff as reward food and the sort of stuff most people see as reward food is in fact "punishment" food. Magic. The diet of non dieters may yet be mine!
listening to Interpol right now - not heard them before but very dark - Nick Cave -Leonard Cohen tendencies I'd say. Still very excited about the competition I won at kittenspyjamas.blogspot.com. How shallow am I? Still failing to let the new house. That doesn't make good business sense does it now?
