It was an apple, granola and yoghurt breakfast day with 2 coffees to perk me up. I had a quick chat with Matt in the team and then made a few calls before logging on for a MS Teams meet with our MD about the new system.
I had decided to auction off my old Garmin Forerunner 920 to try and raise some money for the Trussel Trust, so I posted an update on Facebook for my running group, I feel slightly nostalgic about it as it was the first present that Alan ever bought for me for Christmas, although I've changed straps about 12 times over the past 4.5 years.
I did pilates online at 12pm and it was only me and one other and the other person got lost off the call late on so in the end it was just me.
We then made some waffles and bratwurst for lunch and Alan fried a couple of eggs.
I then had a busy afternoon trying to catch up on work and get some candidates ready for the roles I'm recruiting at the moment whilst Rachel is on holiday. I also had one candidate today who refused to go forward for a job that was going to be working from home, I'm not sure how many office based roles are around at the moment that wouldn't be from home at least a proportion of the time currently - very frustrating.
I ended up finishing work around 7pm and went to cook dinner and was frustrated to find out that the spinach in the dish had gone off, I'm a "noticer" and I tend to spend far more time putting things away and tidying things up and sometimes it pisses me off and I don't know how to express this in a powerful way that doesn't sound like nagging. Alan didn't take my comments very well and so I continued to cook dinner, but he didn't want to eat it and ended up going for a walk. He'd pointed out that I'd left all the post from my flat on the floor and that was messy, so I ended up re-addressing all of it as return to sender and walking down to post it. He was still out for a walk when I got back so I ended up driving around looking for him. He was walking around in the dark and was clearly still angry so I drove home and walked back to check he was coming home. It was about half ten and pitch black at this point - he had managed to see a couple of barn owls. I also saw a baby frog when I was out looking for Alan.
We've not yet managed to have a more constructive conversation and he's still not eaten dinner, but I did make him a horlicks to drink.
I also swapped messages with my brother who had a job interview today and it was his youngest's birthday and he sent me a video of him opening the present that i'd got him.
I had thought about going for a run, but my perifirmis is sore and Garmin is down - apparently hacked and so I just walked around a lot instead.
