Home
Team meeting is fun. Like my team mates and we have a laugh
Started executing my protocol - easy way to get productive. Corrected a small oversight.
Got out for a short walk in the sunshine
Got back from a different walk before the rain started
Have brought in the parcel box and put more weight into the shed. Also got my dragon into the big shed for safe keeping
Remembered to ask the boss's question in the meeting. He was as unimpressed by the new info as we were
Have some worktime scheduled in with a friend tomorrow.
Have plenty of hobbies that don't require electricity and lots of cosy clothes and blankets.
That we have jobs that let us work from home and the space to do so comfortably.
For having a calm enjoyable life

Am still on good form, reducing the antidepressants was the right move

Social
The spot I'd selected for meetings worked reasonably well.
Was interesting seeing all the comings and goings
Lunch was tolerable and there wasn't a walk. There was bacon at the sandwich counter
Caught up with a few people socially so it worth going in
Made it back online for the meeting and was good i attended
Contact showed me the work list so I know what's coming up and where the unrealistic bits are
Realised my mistake in the cross stitch early enough to incorporate the extra column
Caught the mistakes before I passed the document back out again
The printer is neat device, husband set it up while I was at work
