Yup, both my EMAs are in.  Glad to see the back of them.  I have been uncharacteristically lazy with the two T courses, and they have sort of taken over my mindset leaving me lazy in my significantly more important S3 course.  I'm hoping that now I only have one course left, I will focus.  Of course I won't, but that's the beauty of hope; it allows for anything!  I've completed four courses this year.  I believe that is a personal best!

I put on my massive 'it's cold and I'm sitting in a field' jacket on this morning, after eating too much ice dropped my temperature too low, felt a strange tingling feeling running down my left arm, worried a tiny bit that I was having a stroke, when this massive spider appeared out of the sleeve.  It scared me so much that I didn't scream, or move.  I stayed frozen to the spot while thoughts that there might be more in the jacket spread across my brain.  I wonder if the ice had any effect on this turn of events.  Better than a mouse in a welly I suppose.

There's a little festival going on at a local pub this weekend.  I've been up there the past two nights.  It's good.  Local unknowns.  Big change from last weekend, but good. 

I have drunk a lot of tea today.  Too much, you might say.  I've got some great tea from China.  It's lots of tiny little leaves, and you put them in a glass teapot.  At first they all float around a bit like little green maggots.  Then they gradually settle to the bottom.  And then, one by one, they start popping and standing upright on the bottom, until it looks like a little field of grass.  It is so cool.  I'm really grateful to have friends who travel with work when they give me presents like that. 

I'm in an excellent mood today.  It's more fun than usual being in my head.  A bit manic, but still fun.
