At my desk trying to sort out a huuuuge pile of admin. Got back at teatime yesterday to find that things were a little ragged around the edges at home, but everything was relatively ok.
BD, so sorry I missed saying goodbye to you - I didn't realise you weren't coming for the meal! Btw, dd is now behaving like nothing happened. 
Par for the course, but it will clearly take me forever to get used to expecting the unexpected all the blardy time.
I had every intention of doing a little place-shuffling at the meetup to make sure I got to talk to everyone, but yet again I didn't manage that and am sorry that I didn't get to talk properly to those at the other end of the table - Herbs, Ruby and Auriga. Next time...
Now the high of getting on the course has receded, I am feeling the anxiety a bit. It's going to be a massive challenge from start to finish, for 101 different reasons, and it is, frankly, an expensive gamble, i.e. a lot of money, will I be any good, will I pass, will I cope ok? Still, I guess if I'm going into it all with my eyes open, it's better than just believing it will all be perfect and lovely and I will sail through without a hitch. All in all, I am living my life quite differently to how I was even 6 months ago, getting a lot more done, being more open to the world and less focused on what is going on inside me and the pace of change has been pretty speedy. I hope this will continue, but I'm trying to prepare myself for all eventualities.
Back to filling in forms and sending off cheques and then a day at my dm's to see db and family...
