I've ended up with an unplanned day off. However I do have 2 hours worth of private tutoring to do late afternoon - including meeting a new student, which comes with some additional stress. It's an older primary aged child though, so they tend to be okay.
I met another new student yesterday, a year 3, who was sobbing hysterically with fear when I arrived! That was a new one! I expect and plan for nerves and shyness, but quivering fear was unexpected! I think I left her in a better state though.
For now, I'm just relaxing at home. I'll have some lunch and then head out to do some much needed shopping, which all happen to be over the side of town where the tutoring is.
I badly need petrol, so that'll be first up. There's a local Texaco near me, that somehow manages to be cheaper than the big supermarkets, but you have to pick your time right, as it's only a little place, and awkwardly positioned, in that you can only really safely approach from one direction.
Then it'll be Currys for some printer cartridges, Dunelm to look at cushions, throws and rugs. Probably a jaunt round B&M as well.
Then round to Home Bargains for a crisps stock-up and to look at their garden stuff. Then to The Range to look at their homewares/garden stuff, and finally to Homesense for the same, plus any nice easter decor.
All that should take me nicely up to the time for tutoring and home about 7pm, traffic depending.
