Rory. Is. Back.

I am feeling completely re-energised this morning! Full of life, optimistic, confident in my own abilities and looking forward to another week of work-based challenges. It might be that I am simply feeling better after a recent spell of illness post-Covid, but I think it's more than that. Anyone with their own experience of mental health issues will know that sometimes you can snap out of a bout of depression even quicker than you fell into it, and the difference in your levels of energy and enthusiasm can be quite startling when it happens. So I'm pretty sure I had got myself in a rather low mood, and a nice Sunday at home and a good night's sleep have put me back on the straight and narrow and got my head back in the game. It probably helped that I DIDN'T sit up overnight watching an NFL game, like last week. I just don't think I can handle those all-nighters anymore. I'm nearly 40 (very nearly!) and I have a baby in the house who doesn't make it a habit yet of sleeping throughout the dark hours; the last thing I need to be doing is missing a chance to sleep just so I can watch overweight Americans run around on a sports field.
