I didn't sleep very well at all, I kept waking up just as I was drifting off and I think it was only about 6 hours or so in the end. I had cornflakes and 2 coffees for breakfast and I picked up the milk, orange juice and eggs and brought them in.
I logged on and had a catch up call with both Rachel and Katie and then had a morning of sorting out emails and then I signed on for Pilates and at the end had a chat with David about the weird nerve thing that is happening to my left leg - basically when I was shaving my legs the other day I noticed the nerves all over my foot tingling like mad. He didn't think that it was anything to be too worried about, but recommended roll downs and prayer stretches.
I had reheated pasta bake for lunch and then also lots of water! I arranged a team meeting for our team and the colleagues who look after the more junior end of the market. We then had a client meeting and then I interview prepped a candidate. I finished the day by placing a candidate into a job, I was especially pleased as we've been tryinig to help her since I found her a role about a year ago and she couldn't start as she'd had a stroke. I was really pleased to hep her. I even managed to send out a LinkedIn search for Rachel.
I finished off at 6.45pm and went for an easy run of 6.5K and then cooked Hello Fresh for dinner which was potato wedges with steak strips and mushroom and red wine sauce with green beans. I took all the recycling out and the flowers were past their best and put them in the green bins. I listened to Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami whilst out on my run and cooking - I'd listened to a good few hours whilst commuting, but not for about 6 months, so I'd started from the beginning again. We watched Peep Show and ate dinner and
I then had a shower in the bath and I called my Mum back and suggested I could try and visit them although she sounded uncomfortable. We ended up down the odd conversation topic that she was saying she is 94% English DNA, and no African DNA, I pointed out all of us are likely to be from the same, very likely African DNA, but then she started saying we are all descended from Adam and Eve, very odd. My brother texted to say that he'd ended up getting the job he'd applied for as the external candidate had turned it down. We then chatted for about 45 minutes and. He was suggesting I might be better to stay at his and I think that should be fairly safe as he's very careful and has definitely already had Covid even though he tested negative for the antibodies 4 months later.
I followed up on twitter as I was due to have a flash fiction prompt from Tania Hershman but it hadn't arrived via stupid hotmail, so I had to follow up and she kindly resent it for me.
