All the newbies were having their photograph taken for the school website today so I washed my hair this morning in readiness. My hair is naturally wavy and if I try hard it can actually be curly although only for the one day. For some unfathomable reason, I decided to straighten it this morning. Disaster! I ended up putting it up with its usual clasp. However, it was not until I tried to put on my new shoes that I lost my temper. Because of the hip replacement it can be difficult for me to get buckles done or laces tied. I have no idea how long I sat before I managed it. This ended up upsetting me and so I arrived at the university in foul form, which continued throughout the final induction meeting, exacerbated because the chair was prone to ramble on far more than was necessary! I left as soon as it was over and the chair then arrived down at my office to ask me for a coffee tomorrow afternoon!
My mood has picked up now: the photo session went better than expected and we were able to choose the best of 4 photos and then had a nice lunch. Tonight's TV is reasonable (the Restaurant on BBC 2!) and I have got slightly further with my own work in that I have printed off a sample book review from the Journal website! Tiny steps and all that....

Glad that the day improved, and that you have managed to get on with some of your work. Things will get better; you just have to give life a chance. You're half-way through your second week now; you'll be an old hand before you know it.
