I almost embarrassed myself again last week while invigilating! At least I wasn't the only one this time - two of us hurtled towards a large youth to remonstrate about the way he was swinging on his chair and fidgeting when another invigilator leapt into our paths, hissing, "No, no! He's their teacher!" Good grief... Lucky we were stopped.
Since then, I seem to have overdone things a bit. I really must try to remember that I'm not as young as I was... Lots of cleaning on Saturday to get the cottage ready for the next visitors, then 12 hours on Sunday editing a report followed by 15 yesterday. By Sunday evening, I was feeling a bit nauseous. It got worse overnight. And then I got unpleasant stomach cramps. That always worries me these days. I start asking myself questions such as, "Is this a recurrence. Did the cancer travel?" and so on. The extreme tiredness I suffered yesterday didn't help either.
This morning, I really didn't want to get out of bed. Even a cup of tea didn't tempt me. This is worrying. I can always drink a cup of tea! I spent the day cleaning again, ready for the next lot of visitors arriving tomorrow. I could hardly be bothered to get a glass of water when I got home, let alone boil the kettle.
I've stopped panicking now. An early night tonight and I'll be fine tomorrow. I just have to remember not to do too much.
