Happy ducky gothness

I have been back in the city for about a day and a half. I am appreciating things like being in my own space and able to plan and cook my meals, use the bathroom and do laundry without being constantly aware of how I am affecting others’ needs for these things. I walked both to and from work today, which is more walking than I’ve been doing in the village but it was worth staying in practice. My seminars went ok, certainly considering that they were badly attended. I have managed to unpack all my clothes and put them away properly rather than winding up living out of a suitcase for the rest of term as has sometimes happened in the past. I’m trying to interpret the extra sleep I’ve needed as useful for keeping things together.
