Well, love it loathe it tomorrow's the day!

I think apprehension has started to set in so I'm glad I've been a bit busy preparing a sermon for this morning to keep my mind off things. That seemed go down very well which was encouraging - though I can't help feeling I was speaking as much to myself as anyone in the congregation. (Yes, it related amongst other things to new and/or changed circumstances).

Finished the last of the forms today. Dragged out my past work history to work out employer addresses, dates and 'hazards' associated with the jobs. Easier said than done.

I think I've got everything together in the way of id, documents, forms and such like. Bound to have forgotten something.

Checked timetables and can set my alarm for a whole five minutes later than previously. Might be home about 20 minutes earlier than before. But considering I've halved the journey in distance, that's pretty appalling.

And on the subject of email I've just experimented with emailing myself at what I'm guessing will be my new address. The email doesn't appear to have bounced back so although I've no way of accessing it, it appears that it might have been activated already. Very impressed if that's the case. (And although I probably don't want to admit to this, I've found it both interesting, useful and psychologically helpful to find that I can actually still access my old uni account. Not a lot appearing there now as I seem to have been removed from internal mailing lists which is unsurprising. With one exception: the little list my boss - sorry, former boss - kept of myself and seven colleagues. They're still coming thick and fast just to make me feel connected!)

(Having said that, the one email that I did find this evening was a personal one from the boss before that one. She's kindly written me references and just moved house I was hearing, but if I told her my address was dying it hasn't 'taken' so at least I can correct that.)

But that's enough for now. I really ought to at least try and sleep before tomorrow!
