Firstly, I signed up to be a Radish writer. The acquisition associate emailed me a few days ago and we chatted via email (since time zones!).

Secondly, I am currently sore, due to hormones. Even in my 40s and experiencing perimenopause, the cramps are just as bad.

So yes, this is my week. I am experiencing the effects of anxiety from two weeks - I desperately need a break away from this country. I want a walkabout.

I am reading up on pedagogy of history teaching, thanks to the new syllabus which involves an inquiry approach to learning. Halfway through the file - and I am going "Whoa!" Theory is meaty, but I need time to digest it. And this is only the resource file I am reading...

Just had my medical appointment. I am apparently fine, but my specialist decided to add in more tests just to be double-sure I am ok.

Other than that, I am enjoying what's left of the school holidays (two weeks).

I have bronchitis.

I am a person prone to having bronchitis.

So, been sleeping the whole of Sunday. Even now when I type, my body still feels the lingering effects of the cough medication.

Many things happening: last full moon of the Year of the Rabbit before the new year rolls out with a draconic roar, plans that need to be kicked into action and (potential) work.

I inhale and my chest hurts. Hot Pu'Er soothes me, the warmth filling my insides, centering between my breasts.

I want to be healed.
