Quiet time
Managed to get parked at work
Had the quiet room to myself, glad I took my headphones too
Met the boss on the way back to the office and he let me into a hideaway til I felt better
The others were concerned and also left me alone when I needed it
Managed to have a laugh too
Husband ordered us a new game that looks good
Plus some really nice chocolate
Pizza for dinner
Husband spends time with me and leaves me alone when I need it

Relief
10am bacon perked us up, we were all ready for the break. It was fun. And the bacon was perfectly done for me
I got my desk, & husband got a desk in the office too.
Got parked in the carpool space.
Lunch was fun too & I enjoyed the noodles
Came back from a walk just in time to catch the others going for air so I got to join them too
Got to leave earlier than expected
Got the big chunk of work finished today
Got my purple curly hazel, & got it planted.
Enjoyed cafe trip with friends & was glad we didn't do the walk
Got mother's day card posted, prompted husband to spend the vouchers, & got myself lunches for the week

Bonus
Thankful for the bonus day off
Made it to Lidl and back with husband
Thankfully I don't need to go to SuperValu til tomorrow
They had the fish pie we like so I bought them and a bag to bring them home
Found a fundamental flaw in my analysis to base the critical evaluation on
Very nearly finished the report, have the short questions done
Enjoying the new game and has a solo mode for me to play when husband's not interested
Plenty of fruit today
Got through the day without a nap
Managed to discover the top half of the cross stitch is half stitches, before I'd done any wrong 😁

Baby steps
Got up and did a bit more on the report. Have the first half of the short questions tidied up.
Am hopeful I can get enough done to scrape a pass
Husband ordered dinner while I had a nap, is enough left for lunch tomorrow.
New game arrived, has really nice pieces and I think the cards are fine not to sleeve, husband has agreed we can play it tomorrow
Supermarket was empty, we got all the bottles into the machine and I got a good parking space
Friend told me about a few short story competitions for after I get my assignment done. Even if I don't enter they look like interesting prompts.
Glad I have the freedom to nap and be off work as I need, and that I don't have many obligations or demands on my time

Assignment
Had a laugh with workmates and managed to get started on my assignment.
Have made some progress with my map plots, and coloured some in by hand so at least I can perform some basic analysis on the data.
Got my lunchbag and special cup back

Doing a reasonable job of spacing assignment with relaxing hobbies

We were both thinking burrito box and enjoyed it, the chicken was coated which made it nicer

Time off
Husband woke us up on time
We survived the alternative route and got there in good time
Glad I waited with him, it was just a check-up (not a scan)
Found something to eat in the food court, & know in future it's better to eat at the hospital
Got all the bottles returned, & husband remembered to spend the vouchers
Someone waited back before a cross hatch so I had room to pull through it
Enjoyed my afternoon off & got a short story written & submitted
Heard back from my old tutor about some work I sent him, complementary as always, & I learnt a new descriptor
