A disjointed waking up today, I took ages to fall asleep and woke Alan up making odd noises that I think was met trying to speak in a dream and consequently I took ages to wake up again. Qubit brought in a bird and woke me up at 7am, I managed to take it off him and move it so he couldn't put feathers everywhere, sadly it was already dead.
I dialled into my call and caught up with Katie and Rachel and then had a busy morning and finally got breakfast around 10am (I had yoghurt, raspberries and granola) and had 2 coffees. I had a quick temp meeting and helped Rachel to write a proposal for a confidential client brief.
At lunch I was feeling a bit like I had cabin fever from being in all day yesterday so I suggested that we went out for a walk and so Alan and I walked along the muddy country lane near us and it spitted a bit with rain. I took a few pictures with my Inaturalist app and we probably walked for around 25 mins and then I made a ploughmans lunch when I got back which had granny smith, raddicchio, wensleydale, ham from Friday night, Serrano ham, a slice of homemade bread and butter, English mustard, 3 cherry tomatoes, chutney and I had some beetroot. Sadly the iceberg lettuce was actual ice as it had been pushed to the back of the fridge so I couldn't use it.
I then went upstairs and had a very busy afternoon as I had a new role come in and picked up a role for Katie. Frustratingly the briefing call for the new role is tomorrow at 2pm...on my day off so I need to login. I do feel that the past 2 days have been really productive for me and I am on top of my emails much better now which clears my head. We also had a training call on our new system which I'm really excited about and Maya kept coming on camera during the training call.
It should have been #runandtalk tonight, but I hadn't remember and no one else seemed to either so I scheduled it for next week.
Again I felt that a run would be a good idea for me and Alan so I managed to convince him it was a good idea and we left the house at 7pm and did a 5K - he was aiming for sub 30 mins and we managed it which was pleasing. Whilst he was in the bath I managed to fix the Garmin scales so they upload your weight details directly to the garmin app - Alan was pleased with me for not pestering him about it. I also finished cooking tea whilst he was in the bath and managed to smash a jar of biscoff when it fell out of the cupboard, it wasn't as full as I'd expected at least. We had Hello Fresh beef stirfry for tea and Alan had done the prep.
I managed to persuade him to use Easyfundraising to make a purchase this evening so I'm hoping we'll get some more cashback for guides that way as we aren't charging any subs at the moment.
We watched some Spaced and then he went to call his Mum and I did some emails for work and watched Catfish. I also had a shower and got "stuck" in the bath, even without it filled up to be a bath - it happens, I can spend over an hour messing around on my phone if I'm not careful. I also put a load of washing on and cleaned the kitchen whilst listening tot the Archers on the BBC Sounds app.
Tomorrow is my day off and for the first time I have no call with friends scheduled for 5pm and no Zumba at 7pm, so I have one work call at 2pm, but for the rest of the time I can read or do creative writing or run!
