A Blub

I've been offline for a couple of weeks because I have a confession: I did another stealth visit back home. OK, admittedly it wasn't that stealth, as my sister kept posting pictures of us on FB, but if I'd had my way, it would have been more discreet. It was a work trip followed by a conference in DC, so it was truly exhausting.

Highlights in the UK were fitting in the Drowned Man before the end of its run and also going to the new LBD (craft beer) and the new Mr L's wine bar next door. A veritable crawl.

The reason I was home for a brief visit was because I was losing my boss and gaining a new one. I was super sad about that, as my old boss is pretty empowering and hands off. My new boss is less like that.

I just had a wee blub. I cursed myself, as three months ago, I was just saying how lucky we were. Fast forward to today and my new boss wants me to focus on fundraising, which is not what was discussed with my old boss (I feel like I've regressed six years to earlier jobs), and there is no escape, as I won't be going on maternity leave in four/five months' time.

I'll indulge myself for a little while, but I promise I'll pull myself together after that.
