I work up at about 5am and felt really groggy and ended up falling back asleep and getting up for a shower at about 8.30am. I got the milk in and had cornflakes and coffee for breakfast, today was a 3 coffee day. I woke up with a headache and it lasted all day, I think it was distrupted sleep, stress and dehydration - even paracetamol didn't fully clear it.
We had to have a conversation at work about going back into the office, it makes me nervous, but it sounds as though it's going to be from September that we'll be going back in. I'm hoping it will all work out ok.
I had an appraisal at 10am and had lots of jobs to pass over to people this morning. I got through a fair chunk of work and then signed on to do my Pilates class online as I knew I felt stiff from gardening yesterday.
During my class I saw that Hermes had managed to deliver my new Garmin Watch to my work and had not told me a signature "due to Covid" I eventually managed to work out that it was reception that had signed for it and that they were open 24/7 so I could pick it up whenever. This stressed me out. I had some of the couscous from last night for lunch.
I then had a training course for the new computer system at work which also stressed me out as it generated more questions than it answered for me.
I got some more work done, but not as much as I wanted as I'm really busy, but I did manage to at least get some coverage on some of the roles that we are recruiting.
I had a call about my flat and some sort of certificate that I needed for the electrics which costs more money, I confirmed that it was fine to go ahead with this, I then decided the best thing to do was to drive to get my new garmin watch from work and at the same time go and put the replacement coffee table in my flat. Alan very kindly had assembled the little Ikea table and so I put it in my car and headed off to the office around 6pm and it only took about 27 mins to get to work. I managed to get my parcel no problem and I'd parked in the carpark under the building and so I then headed out to the flat with my table. The fob still worked, but when I put the key in the lock it wouldn't turn, I know they had a problem getting the keys back from my tenant so I'm thinking that the locks have been changed? It was really frustrating. I'd also asked the agents to help me out by collecting some of the post, but they had clearly done nothing about it as it was bulging and full to the brim with flyers, TV Licence and Council tax demands. I cleared them into a full shopping bag and headed back to my car and then back home.
When I got back Alan cooked some Hello Fresh Bacon Rigatoni for tea and I managed to charge up and start off my watch and persuaded him to go out for a run to try it out after sorting through all the post from my flat.
It seems that Alan really hates running with me at the moment. I'm trying hard to encourage him as I know that he's going through a down patch with his running and his fitness, but he is showing so much resentment if I make any comments or suggestions about it. I don't really know what to do, I try to encourage him, distract him, but he got really upset when I said I wanted to try running up and down the hill segment on the driveway to really try out my watch as it made him feel bad. He then would only walk and didn't really want to engage with what I can do to help. I feel as though all I can do is go out running by myself so that I can't make anyone feel bad. He can't tell me what to do to make him feel like he wants to run with me, and I worry if I don't ask him to come with me he just won't go at all and I want him to be healthy. He seems to blame his decline on fitness on when I broke my shoulder and couldn't run as much (I still went running an awful lot and we ran the Yorkshire 3 peaks with my arm in a sling), the fact he doesn't have as much time to cook food (we definitely share the load in cooking evening meals), the fact that I have been finishing work later, the fact that we have moved out of Leeds and probably other things. I'm not really sure what I can do and it makes me feel that I should just do my own thing, but it makes me sad when we met running and it was something that we enjoyed. We walked back and watched the bats and I didn't really get a chance to try out my watch at all. As a qualified coach in running fitness who has written plans to get people back to running and runs the #runandtalk group I feel lost as to what to suggest. It's like he's given up on running.
I logged on and did a bit more work and then had a glass of wine whilst Scrubs was playing.
Today has been quite frankly and annoyingly shit day.
