Apple muncher's number crunching

The final lot of washing from next door is in the machine. Then I can run a drum clean wash. Then I can do some of our own washing...

The optician visit went well and dc chose some new specs.

We went in to m&s as new shirts was a priority. 7 shirts and a pair of black jeans were bought. Then we rushed home so as to see big sis + niece for a short time before they had to leave for home.

Dh has nipped out to aldee and when he returns, I'll head for the gym. And hope that helps me feel better.

The gym was good. And sweaty.

My bag is packed. My lunch is sitting in the fridge ready to go. I need to sort out clothes (and check the weather forecast) and look up bus times. I only need to arrive by 8.00, and am hoping there won't be too much traffic on the roads to get in the way of my buses!

Up and at 'em...

@apple_muncher I am, as ever, in awe of you.  You keep so many plates spinning and always get on with it.  A shining light to procrastinators among us...Happy New year, you've got this.  Love Humdinger xx

Twas a fair day. Full but not overly so. Some parts were even mildly interesting.

I helped out a colleague's partner via phone call, with a Spanish person, and said colleague gave me a lift home at the end of the day, right to my door. It was most welcome as the final session overran and I got home about 1 hour earlier than if I'd been on the buses.

The new teacher was there are I was able to sort out most admin things for her as well as her timetable (as far as I knew it, but definitely correct for tomorrow) and teaching. Phew.

I'm not quite so keen to go to work today...No surprise there, then.

And it's pretty chilly outside. I got chilled yesterday, with the windows and doors all open ( rightly so) but v little moving around. So today I'm wearing a l/s top and thick roll neck jumper, as windows still need to be open.

Brrr! 

The cars are all frosted up this morning.

Joy!

You absolutely *do* keep so many plates swimming, I don't know how you manage it.  I'm useless at wearing a mask for long periods, for instance - it's hard to hear other people with masks, and I think my own voice must be muffled, so I automatically speak up, and give myself a sore throat in about half an hour.  But that's just one tiny thing compared to the marathon that you're coping with.  Hope you get time to look after yourself and have some quiet time this evening.

I got to the end of the day at school and realized that I hadn't felt anxious all day. Due, I think, to dc not being back at school, so no upsetting mornings or consequences of the day to deal with. But it's the last day of that as dc goes back tomorrow. Gulp.

I made a super cheap tea- fried an onion, added some curry spices that have been in a small pot in the fridge for yonks, then a tin each of chickpeas and tomatoes. Voilà! With rice. Yum.

Dc went to school on Thurs. But not today. Sigh. Dh disagreed with me keeping them off but I felt they were not fit to go in. They did look at some of the work set online though. This'll be a bone of contention.

I did get to go to the gym and took dc who sat in the cafe. I enjoyed my workout but was hyper conscious of the time all the time. Anyhow, I reckon I did a worthwhile session. We then nipped to liddle as I wanted a bit of fruit, and dc stayed in the car.

Christmas has been mostly dismantled.

Dc is now wanting to just go to bed, so I'll oblige and snuggle them down.
