I'm having a catch-up day today. I should be in school teaching, but I had hardly any sleep (again) last night, along with a sore throat where the pain shoots to your ears. Well, my ears. So I phoned in sick and I'm glad I did. My throat feels better for resting, and I slept until 11am. Lounging around in pyjamas is exactly what I need to do. In fact I'm still in bed now.

I am so looking forward to starting my maternity leave. I have a lonnnnnnnng list of things to get done, but at least I won't have to go to work as well. 14 working days to go.

I'll be 35 on Sunday. I'm quite shocked.
