Against my instincts, but with my abilities, I am working from home again today. I am so flat. I've been waking up feeling really strange - kind of hung-over, a stretchy kind of very tired. I don't know how to describe it. I think Spike is depressed - he is so flat and quiet. Not right at all.
Today I want to do more checklists, work on the application for Sector Manager, do my accounts, get some rest, get some exercise, do some meditation, and then go to Castlemaine for the club meeting... And tomorrow I have no choice, I have to be at work at 8:30.
And if all that isn't enough, Phillip is going through the pre-assessment anxiety - "I can't get through this, and so I don't want to do it". I have to get him through this patch, 'cos he can't just stop every time it gets hard. He got through last November, and I want to support him through this one. He, like me, needs to understand that there is never a good time to deal with the problems life presents, you just have to deal with them as they come, and look after yourself as best you can on the way. Hopefully, I'll talk to him later today and we can work through it.

What a disrupted morning! Long calls to Fay, Tracy and Mohammed (about 2hours all up), as well as to clients (about 20 mins), and answering emails (about an hour) has just ripped the guts out of my morning. and I still feel ... odd... in the head. I wonder if it's blood pressure? Just googled the symptoms... could be. I really MUST lose this weight. I don't like feeling like this.
I think I may have a shower... a cool one. I don't want to increase my blood pressure any further.
1:20pm
Had the shower, got an email from HR, and had to email the girls 'cos I can't see intranet announcements from here... Jennifer Evans is the new CE. The expected result. But it meant a chat with Jo, and then Fay rang to tell me too. I'm having a herbal tea, now. Trying to keep my blood pressure down...
