Linda’s prompt for SoCS this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “sup.” Use it as a word or find a word that contains it. Have fun!
‘Sup?
I was on a break, ya know… I needed a time out… lost my spark… my Blo-Jo had totally gone.
So I spent the best part of six weeks doing nothing really creative.
I read.
Even reading took its toll. I was so tired, I was falling asleep partway through pages, but I enjoyed a good few books.
Then there was school.
It’s the last term of the year and there are still 2.5 weeks to go for us… assessment, reports, progress grids… sorting out class lists for next year…
And we converted to part of an Academy. It was supposed to be a simple changeover, and by and large, it has been, but there are always teething problems, and as part of the changeover, I am no longer a Governor. I really enjoyed being part of the governing body, but it is a lot of extra work, so, unless they decide they’d like to reappoint me, I’ll enjoy the breather!
Being mum has been interesting too… Lil Man turned Teenager officially, Lil Princess turned four eyes (part-time, for reading and screen) and all the hormones flying around the house are incredible!
But I’m back now, trying to post regularly, as, despite being exhausted, I really missed my challenges and those little sparks of creativity, well, they keep me sharp for when I begin my novel rewrite in earnest in the summer holidays!
I entered the first 3000 words into a first novel writing competition too… won’t hear (if I do at all) until September so I have to keep myself busy!
I’m also due to become an aunt any time soon too! My 3-year-old nephew will be becoming a big brother, and the world will be gaining another Finndian!
So, there’s my lil #SoCS for today, thought I’d update you on the world of Ritu!
Catch ya later Peeps!
Happy Saturday Peeps!

I’m glad you had a good break and it sounds like not being a governor will add a lil more time, save a lil more energy, too 🙂

So your working life has changed again, Ritu, isn’t it amazing how things change all the time – the one constant. I decided against directorship at my firm because I don’t want the extra admin; I want time to enjoy life and write, read and blog.

Working life is changing, yet not, if you know what I mean! I’ll still be split between two classes, and that is a big responsibility, but the Gorvernance, for now, has been taken off my shoulders… can’t complain!
