Apple muncher's number crunching

The daft thing is, karma, that it's only been 2 months!!!

Still many shenanigans going on at work with 3/6 management-y position-holding-people leaving (2 at Easter; 1 at end of summer), plus pension shenanigans and even possible closure... Or, to put it another way, there's gonna be changes. Big changes. Mahoosive changes. Cos what we have aint working and needs radical alteration.

Anyhoo, I have a job (for now! - prob for at least a year if nowt changes enough). That's enough preparation time to see the axe falling... And I really love it there so will stay and do my best for the lovely kiddies.

Right. Done my KB workout. Gotta go and wake dd so she gets her edyewcashun. Gottta grab a shower so I'm fit to be seen in public.

Are you like us, Apple  -  In for 3 weeks then 2 weeks off at Easter?  I am concentrating on getting through those 15 school runs, and no further.  There are going to be a lot of changes, a lot of staff leaving, a lot of rearranging going on.  Some of it will work. Some of it won't.  We are all going to have to be philosophical (black polo neck and beret optional) about it.  Bof!

Similar to you f0xh0les - 3 weeks and 2 days, then a training day, then 2 and a half weeks off. So I think I go back a week later than you.

I am just aware today how blessed I am. If my job and income were to stop tomorrow, we would have enough to live on. Our current lifestyle is sustainable indefinitely - we are not dependent on outside entertainment or eateries for our joy.  We have financial security. We have our health (with celiac, CMPA, glaucoma shared between us)... We have a house with a garden. And we'll get some sort of pension in due course.

Dh has just gone out to collect the car from its MOT and mini service. We only did approx 2500 miles last year! That's 50 per week.

Such big changes coming up ... you and foxholes both sound very balanced about it all, I'm glad to read it.

i have been described as 'very  balanced'. I am wearing my smug face!

Anyone spotted that today's date is 4/3/21???

Thought I should lay out my stall for March. I wasn't able to think about it earlier as it was difficult to get my head around the repercussions of the changes - even though life has only really been affected by them for the last 2 months.

-continue with 5-4-3-2-1: 5 veg at lunch, 4 bottles of water, 3 choc bars, 2 veg at tea, 1 exercise session. Daily.

-11 days in school + 3 teaching from home

-17 days not in school

-17 NSDs

-4/5 ballet for dd online

-4 other dance classes for dd online

-2 counselling sessions online

-2? meetings for work online but in the building

-2 parents evenings online

-??? covid tests

So, no gym and no live dance/church/youth yet.

The exercise sessions will comprise: ZCUT kettlebell, ZYoga (power yoga stuff = hard!!), Yoga with Adriene, possible Mandler and Pat Flynn KB stuff.

The veg intake requires a little planning. But one big red cabbage does an awful lot of meals! I've been getting about 8 different veggies in my lunch, which means I am able to not fret about tea veggies too much.

My whole routine will have to change for the 3 days I go in to work. I really need to see whether I can continue with my morning workout sessions - I would like to, but that means I would have to go in to work later, OR get up before 6... Hmmm. Will ponder that one!

Your lunchbox will be the stuff of staff-room legend!
