What I have learnt since my return

1. I can say "No." It won't kill me. Or the person asking, for that matter
2. I can chase up contacts without the "I'm on holiday, call me back in September," excuse being levelled at me
3. I can still hit the < delete > button with relish, and quite vigorously - and frequently - too
4. If someone annoys me on Facebook, I can happily hide their posts
5. If someone stalks me on Facebook, I can change what they can see of mine, ie virtually nothing
6. Some things never change: people, perspectives, perceptions
7. Some things do change: people, perspectives, perceptions
8. Almost nothing surprises me anymore, ref points 4-7 above
9. Doing absolutely bugger all exercise for three weeks takes willpower 
10. Knowing that you have a half marathon approaching and are totally ill-prepared is not worth fretting about
11. Because there will be wine
12. And laughter
13. And fancy dress
14. And who said we would be running it anyway? Tsk.
