Snow

Today has beena day of coping with changes. We had the open day for the work I am doing as a consultant - and it snowed all day. The pupils who were meant to be joining me couldn't get over. Nor could about half of those who were going toa ttend. Nor could several of those who should have been speaking. I did one of my talks in full; the other was truncated in order to allow for an earlier finish (because of the increasingly bad conditions). It all went OK, but I am recognising the strain of it all tonight. to add to it I was getting text messages from my daughters' school all day telling me that they were cancelling the parents' information afternoon, then that school was closing at 1pm, then that it was closing at 11am. None of which I could do anything about, and W was doing all the transporting today. But it added to the pressures.

Tonight I've had a bit of a fall apart. I phoned J earlier in "a bit of a state". I've now taken some tablets and done some sewing. am planning to head to bed soonish, and to hope that tomorrow is a (full) snow day - if nothing else because i don't fancy driving in our current road conditions.

I used to love snow days when I was at school. (as pupil) Hoping you get one tommorow. Looks positive weather wise.

I hope it will be a snow day for you.

Wish we had one of those over here.

Thanks. We did get a snow day. School as normal today, but more snow forecast tonight...

Our snow seems to have come to an end which is good in many ways but they were a welcome break while they lasted...
hope you're feeling better now, Katie, xx
