    Re: August Army Manoevres

    Evening troops.

    Sorry about being AWOL.
    [MENTION=18312]sweetpea29[/MENTION] :hug: to you re your dad. That's hard and as Molls mentioned, 66 is young these days. So i hope for an outcome that supports him - and doesn't leave you stressing and pulling yourself in all directions. Hope your family can support you and him too.
    [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION] how's the young 'un? How's your mam? How are YOU?
    [MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION] - my brother's first ever marathon was Dublin. Slept the night before on a park bench and ran in VERY old trainers. Got to mile 20 and was about to give up until another runner with his name, pushed him along. Since then he's done umpteen marathons and inspired his big brother to run too (me!)

    Last weekend of so-called freedom. Wont go into all the ins and outs of work but going back to school this year looking a bit more stressy than planned. Hopefully in due course (you'll have to ask me in a year re due course!) it'll all pan out. Basically i resigned from the local authority i work in for the opportunity to work IN A CLASS (not had since probationer year) in another local authority. But that job is only guaranteed to Xmas - possibly to June. Then i'm on my todd again...

    Have felt really low today. Like HEAVY. Like, you know if someone were to lie on your chest - that heaviness that feels like yer lungs have replaced air with led-filled tears? Kinda like that.

    That aside, netflix tonight (again!) ... watching Borgia... CANNOT believe how f***ed up the old roman church was in the renaissance period. It's a bit OTT for me, but can;t not stop until i've seen 'em all. That's addition for you :haha: And i'll have that with tea and toast. And then I'll sleep. And then my plan is to drive in the gloaming to somewhere I've not been before and run for a couple of hours. Perhaps head towards near where you are going to be [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION].

    Hello everyone else - Starty, Bridgey, CurlyWurlyGurly, Molls, Tabbers, Whizzy, and the rest of yis -

      Hi Arsey- well watching Versailles here and the 'holy' roman church was still at it all over France as well - bastards!
      I hope (And think you have) made a right decision- you know life IS short and sometimes you just have to grab it by the bollix- so to speak ;-) well done you xx

          :hug: on the heaviness Mr D'Arsey - but you've stepped out of your comfort zone & made a major ( somewhat scary ) life decision ----- WELL DONE and it will 'pan out' just fine.
          Don't worry about next year - just enjoy NOW and the next months you are teaching.
          Major cliche alert - but - - FECK IT - 'feel the fear and do it anyway'
          .....of course Molls put it so much more eloquently than I can :haha:

            hello hello,
            Safe trip [MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION], dying to hear how you get on.

            Good decision to take a risk, its what you want to do [MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]. That heaviness could be nerves or worry or just 'the fear' - my teaching buddies are starting to brace themselves about now. Unfortunately I am not empathising, but your starting a new gig, so your allowed a small bit of worry :happy2:.
            Love the story about your brother, brilliant!
            [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] :hug: are you on a different dose of pills? Its not like you? You would fit in perfectly with my hormonal teenagers here. Jesus wept.... I have another decade of this.

              Arsey,Its a leap of faith.......... this may just be the best thing you've ever done...........if not you know not to do it again.

              [MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]..............I'm not on any pills at the moment......apart from my COPD stuff.....prolly why I'm a whinging, pain in the arse, griping auld bugger. Think they dampened down a lot of emotions.....and now they're back with a vengeance... I've gone all herbal. Apple cider vinegar, rosehip syrup, probiotic yogurts.............ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm mmmm. Lots of fruit.This too shall pass. My halo is in the post.

              It has advantages I've managed to persuade Mr. JC that we're getting a dish-washer after over what feels like a million years without one.
              It could be worse, I could be filing.

                    Morning campers .....
                    JC I didn't know you had COPD ? When was this diagnosed?

                    Nice one on the ACV - I take it too but I've forgotten why I thought it was a great idea:haha:
                    I reckoned it's been around since 70/80's and I took it then - so it must be useful. I find it refreshing in sparkling water.

                                ...........crikey thought you all knew..........it was about Feb 2017...........just before I gave up smoking. Its very early stages and I could outlive the lot of yis. The docs are okay with me vaping.
