Crazy Cat Lady Chapter 3 - A New Beginning
Comments

Another busy and productive but quite frustrating day. Behaviour is still poor at work and I've had the toughest couple of teaching days I can remember in years... However, I got lots done, which is good news while things are so busy.
In between teaching, and exam stuff I also found the time today to pick up my mediation form at the family centre and hand it in at the solicitors. That's the last box ticked now so I can take ex to court over getting the house transferred into my name. The secretary was a bit voice-of-doom warning me that it'll cost thousands (thanks - I kind of already knew that but what else can I do?)
Also went to a doctor's appointment I've been putting off for months so I can cross that massive frog off the list. I've added another couple of things today.
2 of the 3 exams I'm marking have been done over the past 2 days so I'm about to get very busy - hence the very quick check in here.
I will be back though, but apologies if my updates are brief and a bit abrupt.Not giving up

I'm poorly sick _pale_
Woke up this morning with a bit of a chesty cough, which has deteriorated badly as the day has gone on and now includes aches and pains everywhere. If there was a time I couldn't afford to get sick it's definitely exam season. UGH!
Ah well. I've taken 2 ibuprofen and some cough medicine - keeping the night nurse for 8pm.
Will be back.Not giving up
