Today I woke up early as I'd booked a Covid test at the drive through regional centre at a nearby park and ride for 8am and so I was up at 7.10am which is a good hour and a half earlier than recently and I had breakfast (apple, yoghurt and granola with coffee) and fed the cats. I'm helping with the app for monitoring my daily symptoms and it asked me to go for a test, so I obliged. It was different to the other time when I went back in May and had to open my window and had someone swab for me, this time I was given my own test (they dropped it through the passenger window) and I had to put the swab to the back of my throat and also do my nose - it's not a pleasant test. I then had to drop it into a box next to my window after they'd stepped away. I got the results back today and it was negative, which wasnt a surprise.
I was back at home for 8.30am and logged on for work at 9am as usual and kicked off with a call and then had a few bits and pieces to discuss with my boss and then a few prep calls for candidates. I've come to a conclusion that I worry very much about some calls or disputes about things that then distract me from actually getting on with things, I think one thing about lockdown is it gives a bit too much time for self reflection and less ability to form context from speaking to colleagues. I had Pilates again at 12pm and then Alan cooked rostis and I put a couple of bratwurst in the overn for lunch and then we had them with sriracha mayo - the house smelled like the German market. We had 2 deliveries when I was doing pilates, one was a surprise from one of the girls in my team a card an some chocolates to say thank you for some of the help I'd been giving her and the other was a box of flowers that I'd ordered from Arena Flowers as a new 2 weekly subscription - some beautiful blue hydragena and they make me happy every time I see them! There were 6 blooms with eucalyptus foliage and enough for 2 vases. I also had a lovely print of a runner from my friend to thank me for my help with the council tax - it's been a very good post week.
Work was very busy with a few things to sort out and I also ran the weekly quiz which was based on peoples LinkedIn profiles and guessing people from bits of photos and also from their testimonials.
Alan cooked dinner which was a hello fresh pork and rice recipe that I later finished off for lunch tomorrow. The delivery for toilet paper, natural deodorant and soap arrived from Ethical Superstore which was great.
I then finished off a few more things and then got ready for Guides which was at 7pm and needed some water and bowls prepping, I managed to get ready just in time and they had a fun meeting which was about stress and relaxation. Kirstie did a guided river and leaves relaxation that was great.
I was aware that Alan hadn't been out for a few days so I encouraged him to go for a run and we did a fairly good pace for around 5K and had a sit down and chat on the lawn before going in and getting showered and after I'd finished off lunch for tomorrow and ate a lollyand I cleaned the kitchen and then had a shower and turned on my computer to write my appraisal.
Alan is a bit down so I went and gave him a hug and got Maya to sit next to him.
