In the midst of being busy how am I coping? You may ask. I would hope it is proving a useful anaesthetic but more than that, that it helps me come out on the other side.
The first three days of the week were spent at the Employment Tribunal in Nottingham, representing a friend. To our disappointment the hearing did not end as scheduled but is now set to continue in January next year. But again that is this not just the nature of life?
My counselling session last Monday explored some more feeling about my twin sister, and revealed some of the depths of things I must deal with, however, I am sorry that I am away at a conference tomorrow so I will be unable to attend.
I remember my twin in many ways, for instance, Folashade was someone I could bounce ideas off, we certainly did not always agree, but there was a powerful and unshakable bond, and it makes it all the more painful that I cannot share it anymore.
We had already agreed that I would spend my sabbatical with her next year, it would have given me the chance of a life time to work with her. The shame is that I feel unable to express or explains this well to many people.
We have had a busy weekend celebrating with my niece and in laws over her graduation from the Nottingham Trent University.
This is was my university where I studied for a Masters and Doctorate, so returning there always brings back fond memories. However, it has undergone a massive transformation and it now has a chancellor, Michael Parkinson.
Tomorrow is another day and I am certainly looking forward to it. This is progress for a few months ago I could note even face the next day.
