Thank you for that reminder. You are totally right.
I need to print your words out and have them under my nose at all times.
I had to go and buy a diary for next year. I'll be getting my rota for January from my part time job soon. Good heavens, that was a hard task. Having to think about next year and the shops full of Christmas stuff.
Anyway, it's done. And I managed to do it in a dignified manner as well...took my time, looked at all the options, had a bit of a chat with the cashier, bought a coffee too.
So, back to GAL for me.
One thing I've discovered recently is that we get the chance to learn sign language through our employer (for free). I'm going to put my name down for the course.
I've always loved learning new things and learning languages especially, but sign language isn't something that I'd ever thought about learning while I was with my H. So that's a new thing, something that will be totally mine.
We also have a new member of staff who is deaf. We all want to be able to speak to him and make him feel welcome, so it would be an extra incentive (plus I'd get to practise and learn even more). He taught me how to spell my name out, and the next night I was able to introduce myself to someone else, totally unexpectedly. She was really delighted.
The other thing I've kinda always wanted to learn how to do is make sushi. So I'll find some tutorials on YouTube and investigate that a bit.
