Day Ten plus Sixteen

Very tired again. But quite content.

What went well today?
Decent ESOL lesson with a small group of motivated students – and a wonderful assistant teacher who will soon be the sole teacher I have no doubt.
Met up with an old friend for a wee blether over a cuppa.
Worked through all of Unit 2 of my distance learning Accelerated Introduction to Gaelic.
Put away all my freshly-laundered linen and clothes rather than leaving them trailing about and being in the way.
Having a few wee translation jobs in the pipeline.
Doing some exercises early in the morning, and just before I came back to the computer.

How can I make it happen more regularly?

Working on it...

What strengths have I focused on today?

Hyperfocus. Tidiness.

At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Teaching. Learning. Getting irritated with stupid, I mean really stupid!!!, errors and confusing instructions in the course material.

What issues reared their heads? What remains to be done?
Irritability. Fizzing with adrenaline/caffeine/Concerta.
Bookkeeping. Tidying/cleaning the house for my weekend visitor.
Another few translation jobs.
Being unable to listen to intricate instructions without having written copy to refer to.
