The not so positives
I'm behind with my marathon training due to the flu.
The positives
Learning to identify and deal with triggers.
It's lovely to drive home in the daylight.
Enjoying Traitors.
Off to a good start with my fundraising for my marathon in Brighton in April.
Saturday 10th January We decided we needed a metaphysical day with Stephanie and despite me not feeling well we headed over to Gloucester for a coffee in Starbucks and a wander around the town remembering the happy times and the places we took Stephanie, it did us both good, despite it bringing a few tears. I cooked a fish pie when we got home and listened to Birmingham in the FA Cup. We rearranged some furniture in the loft rooms and had a video call with our grandsons. I had an early night.
Sunday 11th Still under the weather so a lazy morning watching Match of the Day and chatting on WhatsApp with son in Australia and catching up with blog comments and drinking coffee in the warm. Peter went for a walk along the Malvern Hills and rang me when he was nearly finished so I could drive into town and pick him up. I needed to stock up with cat food and we had a coffee. Home to cook a roast chicken and portion up some dinners for me for a few days and type up some mentoring reports from last week. A bit more organising in the loft room and the evening in front of the TV. The Christmas bedding went back on the bed.
Monday 12th Back to work, I covered PE most of the day and some mentoring. Peter moved the bed up to the loft the room and we moved a reclining chair from the lounge into the 1st floor bedroom. Now on the look out for a cot/bed on Facebook market place. Seen a few but no rush as we've still got a travel cot. This used to be child 4's bedroom and I've been using it as a craft room since we came back to the UK. Granddaughter was excited to the see her new sleeping space on a video call. After dinner I watched some soaps and went to bed early to read.
Tuesday 13th A good day in work, quite a mixture. A good chat with the Head about how I've settled in. Home and plonked myself down in front of the TV, finished tidying and cleaning the two new bedrooms and started emptying the 2nd loft room with stuff for the charity shop and the tip. I watched some TV and went to bed early to read.
Wednesday 14th Work was good, all day in Science and some mentoring. Home late, picked Peter up and managed a coffee out, but the rest of the afternoon and evening was spent on the sofa blogging and watching TV after tea and a bath and into bed at 9pm. I stopped on my way to work to take a photo of the sky.
Thursday 15th Work and home. So tired. Literally sat on the sofa watching quiz shows, scrolling through my phone and snacking. I had a bath, watched Traitors and was in bed at 9pm.
Friday 16th A really foggy drive to work. Been given some extra responsibility and got a new laptop from IT as the keyboard was too large and hurting my wrists. Straight to the nail bar for an infill and new colour after work. Really loving my acrylics, they lasted 4 weeks. Posted son’s birthday card for next week. Home at 6.30pm. Had dinner, got stuff ready for my walk on Sunday, had a bath and settled down for Traitors.
Louise - I wonder if our paths crossed in and around Portsmouth over the New Year, but with everyone wrapped up so warm no one was really identifiable.
Kim - Well done on spotting me at the football. My friend struggled this week.
Emma - I can assure you the cat is super comfy in the kids bean bag.
