Morning. I feel like I’m awake early but I was actually asleep by 9.15 so I’ve had 8.5 hours’ solid sleep. Nervous about today, first new hairdresser to contend with, then meeting with people from the university about pausing my PhD. Tom says he thinks they’ll be guided by whatever I suggest in terms of time away but I’m not sure how long to ask for. I was thinking maybe 3 months, but I have no idea if that’s a realistic time frame in which to recover. I guess I’ll find out today whether it can be revisited at the end of the initial pause. I know that I will probably cry and I hate feeling unprofessional and less than adult in front of my supervisor. Honestly, I am so worried about this meeting. I think I might get up and go out, rather than lying here fretting. How are you this morning?
