Head And Foot...
That's what's hurt today... My head, coz it was my first day back at college, settling down to do the other unit of my SVQ (like NVQs, but Scottish) Accounting, Level 3 qualification... this time dealing with Financial Accounts (P&L, Balance Sheet, etc), rather than Costing Accounts, which the exam I just passed was dealing with. It's a pain, because the way the terms work out, and when the exams are, means that the exam for this unit is on 5th December (NOT long away), and then those sitting the Costing Accounts exam have from January to June to revise for it!
So, because we've got so much to pack in learning-wise, we went through the first FIVE chapters of the book in just about 2 hours today!
There is one positive (which would be an asset if my life were a business, so would be on the DEBIT side of my accounts... lol), there is a very good-looking piece of male eye-candy in the class to gaze at if I get bored! (I'm saying no more than that!).
And foot ache came about because I stuck on a pair of boots today that I've not worn in ages... and I discovered why as I was walking down from college... as the balls of my feet started to burn and get sore, and my toes got squashed up, and by the time I got to the shop, I really was in agony! But I had to go on the rest of the day, on my feet in the shop (boss said I had to stay down there and serve so that shopgirl could get a huge order that had arrived sorted and priced without getting disturbed).
So those boots will very swiftly get The Boot... straight into the bin, and I'll go back to my trusty Crocs (even if they are getting smooth on the bottoms so that if you wear them in the rain, there is the tendency to go aqua-planing every so often!).
Paid a visit with my brother to see my Auntie in the Residential Home this evening... I've not seen her for a few months now, with one thing and another, but she's looking pretty good... certainly much better than when she and Dad were in the hospital together, and things looked very bleak for her for a while.
Well, I think that's just about all, so I'll bugger off...
