Happy Monday!

Last night, I admitted defeat and set up the light lamp. It made this morning slightly less traumatic, although it didn’t make me any happier about it!

Last week felt really busy and this week isn’t going to be any less busy. Back in July, I mentioned that July seems to be a point of the year where my work life goes haywire. That was true this year and usually by this point I’ve rallied and the volume of work has decreased. This year, my understanding has increased but the workload has not.

We’re all busy and because the only unchanging thing in my professional life is that ‘change is constant’, it’s going to be a roller coaster from now until Christmas.

From a personal point of view, it’s probably not a bad thing. I like to get things done, so having a big old target and needing to produce isn’t the worst thing as I head into wanting to hibernate for the winter.

This month, it’s my brother’s birthday, the Pumpkin Walk at the allotments at the end of the year. More generally, as we head towards Christmas, there’s lots going on, which can only be a good thing!

Have a good week!
