She lives!
Sorry to leave you so long, dear diary. I did think for a while my diary love affair had gone, but it was merely suppressed. I've been writing A LOT in my new teaching diary so I can keep track of life, and neglecting you.

I am still fine, these past two days have been a little difficult, with echoes of the old demons, but in the main I am happy and well. Sometimes, things just get too much. I do four 1 1/2 hour lessons a day, all full of listening and activities and lesson ideas, and its just very draining. I really do enjoy it however. And at times, it's kinda nice to be back at school (our class consists of 30 trainees - I often imagine what a child would think to see all these 'teachers' sitting at desks doing children's activities).

Some lessons are really dull. I hope the ones I teach won't be the same way.

Enough teacher talk!! Onto me ME

ME!!

I am still happy where I live. We all get on really well and it is great. I do love living in a big house full of girls. I can't really contemplate living in a small house full of me and Bob. It seems very frightening! I am worried about feeling tired and demotivated though. It smacks of danger signs and I just don't know what to do about it.

Bob is at that awful new job new home new area new life transition stage. Poor boy, I wish I could take it all away for him.

Anyway, that is all for now. Rest assured that the red shoe girl lives, and she is just fine.
