It's been a yeucky day. Work-wise, weary me-wise, weather-wise, watering plants... I always knew this was going to be a difficult week, but not this bad. It's been one step forwards, two back, three sideways, and a logistical nightmare.

I may have to opt out of going off as early as I wanted on Friday to catch up on one or two things. Pah.

I'm also not looking forwards to the weekend at all. It's also a logistical nightmare, as well as involving a high level of socialising, and possibly dodging people who will be wanting to talk, with the best of intentions, but I'm worn out with talking and explaining myself...

Then, there's been the interesting conundrum of What To Wear. These are occasions where the decision's been made for me, and I've smugly not had to think about these matters. It was somewhat of a shock to my system when I realised I'd have to put more thought into this than I've been used to for some considerable time.

Anyway, I think I've sorted the problem reasonably satisfactorily and more importantly, in a sensible way so that have new work clothes for next term as well. I have avoided A Proper Dress.

Still, the freneticness slows down by next Friday, and moving into the next phase begins properly.
