Trying to hold down a million and one different jobs at the moment means I'm almost always busy.  OK.  So that's an exaggeration.  It's really only about 6 jobs, but it often seems like more.  Anyway, the point is that my diary is always hectic, with me driving from town to town for a few hours here and there every day to try to keep on top of things.

So this weekend, I'd deliberately arranged to keep all 3 days free (yes, 3 days.  If you're not in the UK you may not know that this is a public holiday weekend, so Monday counts too.  Unfortunately it doesn't mean that every weekend is 3 days long).  And I'd forgotten what it was like to have so much free time.  I think the last time I had 3 consecutive days free was well over 6 months ago.  I know I needed it.  I was mentally, physically and emotionally knackered - recent events obviously not helping with that.  But even though I am feeling rested now - it seems unnatural to have so much time unscheduled and untimetabled.  I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow:  9am meeting in Wokingham; 11am - 1pm tutoring in Newbury; 3pm meeting back in Wokingham; work in Reading from 6pm to midnight.  Busy?  Yes.  But reality will once more be restored :)

So what have I done with all this time?  Well, largely nothing.  Frittered away hours on the computer being entirely unproductive - despite having some work I should have been doing.  But although it was frittered, the time was certainly not wasted.  I've made a new online friend :)  Or at least I hope I have - *hugs for you* - I think you'll know who you are.
