Settled

Managed to finish the document review for the boss.  It was a chore but it's over now and kept me out of trouble.
Husband came for a walk at lunch and the weather was nice.
Dinner arrived in time for me to have some before heading out.
Asked for less pressure this time and that was a good idea.  She worked out some knots but was gentler.
Got parked easily and arrived in nice time.
More hot chocolate when I got home and played card game with husband.  He's been especially chatty lately.
Friend rang, was nice to chat with her and she seems to be doing better.  
A lie in tomorrow and a good chance to pop into hotel chocolat if I want, might be a better option than the beach.

Tracking

  • Thankful we got out for a walk at lunch, 
    • that the weather was dry & also for our trip round to the shops.
  • They've changed the batter & the fish was nicer today.
  • Am liking the new watch & husband's given me the charger.
    • Used it for tracking the skipping & the walk (it missed the lunchtime walk but picked up my activity) - like that it has skipping as one of the workout options.
  • That we have plenty of space for playing games, & 
  • I managed a full work day, & got the most important stuff finished
    • have plenty to be getting on with tomorrow too
  • Won the game I was playing, can retire happy

Woods

Glad the weather was nice for the walk.  

That the other 2 were so busy talking they didn't even realise I was late.

Had another nice nap and was awake in time to stop all of lunch burning.

Finished in time for the zoom and found the answers enlightening.  Think I'll just do my own readings in future without needing to join the group.

Husband helped me set up the new watch and it looks OK.  Will wear both tonight and see how the data compares.

Remembered to submit my tinesheet and that Monday was a bank holiday.

Remembered the washing in the machine

Hospital

Arrived in nice time and parking was easy.  

Got a lovely photo of the trees.

Eventually caught a nurse who took me to the wars and I got into my room.  

Private room

There was plenty of variety on dinner plate so I had plenty to eat. I particularly like soda bread and the cake.  

Breakfast was OK too, same bread and I had rice crispies.

Survived the night, and my throat is better, maybe the air was just dry in there.

Got home safely and husband did bacon once I'd had my nap.  He also sorted out chicken for tea.  Plenty of treats and he made me hot chocolate.

Played the next new game a few times.  Glad there are play throughs on YouTube, even though the guy did it wrong was it was useful starting point. 

Then unprompted he set stuff up for us to watch on the TV.

Have the walk and a tarot zoom to look forward to.

Managed to get a massage booked - Tues. Going to be a busy week - glad I made up enough hours to not have time off week just gone, my days off are precious. 

Did a few reps with weights.

Enjoyed the audiobook, glad I took the cross stitch.  The recommended book is also better than I expected and I have the first chapter read.

Relaxing

Thankful for a lazy start to the day.

For doing my writing early so I don't miss a day.

For husband coming for a quick walk so I can say I've been out and done some exercise if they ask.  Also it's interesting conversation with him.

Also that I was in a call with the relevant person when my boss messaged to ask me to make contact - on it  :)

Sent someone else a reminder and everything for today was taken care of in the couple of hours I'd set aside.

Should only take me 35 mins to get to appointment  - I have loads of time.  Glad I got fuel the other day.

Work

Team meeting was a laugh.
Told them why I'm off tomorrow.
Bonding session with team mate over frustrations.
First thing I had a productive call with someone jolly and competent.  Got to pass on recommendations to the boss.
Finished another bit of work which is good and user was happy - I got good feedback.
Helped the boss with something else and wa son form with my research.
Was also on the ball during a global meeting when we got called on with no notice.
Freedom to take a long lunch and have a nap.

Recognise the new game and it's a good one to take gaming.

Found a tutorial on the other new game and am feeling better about it.
Answered the phone and it was the secretary so I have a better idea of what's happening tomorrow.

Remembered to avoid the monstrosity dinner order.
Remembered to send meal choices to friend for his wedding.
Feeling better now - think I just overdid it yesterday.

Hobbies

Got up reasonably early again and put in a full 8 hour day. Less pressure for the rest of the week. 
Time passed quickly, I managed to get the report finished and hold my temper.

Skipping, weights, and a walk = exercise trio.  Got home just before the rain.

Made it to gaming, was a good one for husband to miss.  Handed over the game I took and was given a different one.  Got home safe.  

Doomlings plays 6 and the colours have textures so it's a good one to take.

Got curry for dinner, haven't had any in a while and enjoyed it.  And it arrived in time for me to eat before gaming.

The new hot chocolate is better mixed with the old chocolate.

Glad it's half term and there's no college tomorrow.
