Today should be my day off, but it's our new system day so I had to log onto a training call at 9am. I got up and dressed made a coffee and prepped a mango which I had with granola and yoghurt and left some mango for Alan.
The training call was ok, but I find training where they just show things moving around on a screen isn't really a way that I learn. We had other bits and pieces throughout the day to learn and watch, but in truth a lot of my day was taken up with the day job as I'm covering for Rachel on holiday.
By lunchtime I had a major stress tension headache and today took both paracetamol and ibuprofen, but it didn't really shift.
After a 48 minute call with a client I managed to come downstairs and make some lunch, Alan chopped up some chorizo and black pudding and I fried with no oil in a pan and added to a chopped little gem lettuce, some chopped heritage tomatoes and then some apple cider vinegar and salt. We had a slice of olive bread with anchor spreadable and then I had another coffee (3 in total today) and went up to finish more work.
I had a busy afternoon sending out testing for candidates, fielding multiple emails and did some of the training modules towards the end of the day. I had been supposed to go for a run with a friend after doing some more errands in town, but I set off about 30 minutes later than I'd planned at 5.35pm and then had to turn back as I'd forgotten my keys, but I managed to chat to my parents on the way, I grabbed the keys and carried onto work and parked my car underneath the office building and went up to the flat with the table (again!) and I couldn't even get the keys in the lock after being reassured the old lock had been put back in. I called the number for a guy who came to sort out the lock who said "20 minutes" and so I went back to my office to collect things from my desk as they are implementing a clear desk policy at work. I also moved Rachel's things into a drawer and took some stuff home for safe keeping like a picture of her with her Dad.
I went back to the flat and after waiting for about 20 minutes the guy arrived and changed the lock. I put the table in the flat and had a look around and then wasn't sure whether to leave both tables or just one as there's not much space. I left both in the end. I wore my mask the whole way around being in town both in the office where I saw two of the cleaners I'd not seen for months as well as in the apartment building even though the lock guy was "i don't have it you don't have to wear that".
I cancelled going for a run with my friend Sam even though I probably had enough time, but she didn't call me back, I drove back via Temple Newsam thinking that I could go for a run somewhere different, but there seemed to be a lot of travellers and people around the car park and I felt a bit unsure so drove home and went for a run from my front door again. Alan called me whilst we were both driving home as he'd been catching up with his old boss in Bradford at Starbucks. I ran past him driving home in the car.
I ran about 36 minutes and just over 4 miles and I'm still getting used to, but enjoying my new watch. I listened to more of "How to Stop Time" by Matt Haig and I'm getting towards the end of the book now.
I spoke to my brother who'd rung me just at the end of my run to help him prepare for a promotion interview tomorrow. He was very hung up thinking about all the other candidates, but I pointed out that it was far better to worry about what he was doing to prepare as that was the only thing that he could controls.
I then came down for tea that Alan had made which was Hello Fresh hot dogs and was nearly 1200 calories!!! I'm glad I'd not eaten loads earlier and had had a decent run. We watched a couple of episodes of early Peep Show.
I then showered after dinner and started a bath for Alan and came down to finish off my system training which I'm nearly finished up on thankfully.
I also have just remembered again that it's my youngest nephew Winston's birthday (he's 1) so I need to order a present for him even though I've not actually had a chance to meet him yet.
