Bad patch

Pretty much the exact same! Take it one minute at a time. We will be ok xx

How are you today BlueIris?

[BlueIris]

Bit annoyed with myself. Self-checked too much and have some light bleeding that definitely isn't period related, but is making me nervous anyway. I think it'd probably go away if I stopped poking myself, but I'm finding that hard so I'm still seeing blood occasionally.

Other than that, having a good few days, going to be leading another beading class on Tuesday which is always a joy.

How are you?

[Carnation]

Oh BlueIris, why do you keep doing that? It's such a delicate area. And you always seem to regret doing it afterwards. Bless you
Your beading class sounds great, a good distraction!
I'm ok, thanks for asking, just the usual niggles.

Isnt it funny how we can know we are creating the symptom and yet still worry about the symptom?!

So glad that other things are good though. Wish i was going to your beading class!

[BlueIris]

Jojo, I can send you supplies and we can do a Zoom class?

[BlueIris]

Okay, writing this now and it's not really about my period despite me being on my period (obviously I'm anxious about it but I'm wrangling it okay for now).

Life is weird, though. I just spent the afternoon adding quiz questions to videos about the Ukrainian war and it left me shaking, it was so sad. I went to sit in the office for 5 minutes and talk about it with my colleague, then when I came back to my desk a student asked me to read a story they'd written for their English class, just because. Suddenly I feel so privileged to have the life I do. Clearly I'm hormonal as heck, but still...

How's everyone doing?

I bet that was tough to do Blue, I spend a lot of time avoiding news stories, so I'd struggle doing it for work. But' how nice is it a student trusted you enough to read their work!

Hormones are just the worst! I once packed a bag and left my husband because of some imaginary slight. I got about 1/2 a mile away and realised I was being ridiculous and went home.


Things aren't too bad with me, I seem to have settled back down a bit after last week. Formative group presentation tomorrow - which even on zoom is a llittle terrifying.

[BlueIris]

Formative beats summative, though.

When I did my low-level teaching qualification I had to do a microteach over Teams, so I do empathise. You'll be brilliant, though, I can tell you're naturally eloquent.

Counting our blessings is so important, you are so right Blue. What a lovely post xx
