Just a quick post - time always seems to be rushing away from me these days! Life is full and beautiful and Jake and I are looking forward to the up-coming holidays. How is it possible though? The year has gone so fast.
The end of the year always feels like a bit of a schelpp. I hate the build-up to exams and Jake seems to be overwhelmed with homework amidst the studying. He has decided (on his own) that his lower dose of Concerta actually isn't working properly and so we have upped him back to the 36mg he was on last year. He's doing really well and trying his best to study as much as he can at the moment. Sadly, when you have to medicate your kid to get him to focus, it means that once that medication has worn off, there's not much that can be done in the way of studying. It also means that all Jake's studying needs to be done before 5ish and if he's got extramurals on, that time is very much reduced. It does mean that evenings are calmer and we have time to enjoy relaxing a bit too.
For me, I've been working hard!! Things around the office are crazy busy (productive) and I'm really enjoying it most of the time. We all have not-so-great days at the office, but those are really few and far between for me.
I attended a photography workshop last weeked, called Wild Shots and it was AMAZING! There were about 15 speakers for the day, who shared their work and I left feeling very humbled and inspired!
I begin another photography course next week, this time for processing my images. I've never really managed to get the hang of editing and it's about time I did. It's a 3 week course run in the evenings, just once a week. I can't wait, because the next step is that I'm going to start working on getting a proper photo website going. Watch this space!
We are busy planning out 2017 holiday and it's going to be an exciting adventure. Again, watch this space. I am doing lots of number crunching to see if we can actually afford to do what we want to do...
In other news, Jake received an award at scouts last night for the most promising scout of the year - I was completely blown away and very surprised, especially considering that Jake HATES sleeping out anywhere and I have been called to camp to fetch him on more than one occassion.
Sending love,
