    On the non vaccinated DD’s co-workers front, the bloke who gave her Covid has permanent lung damage and is now moaning he is unable to get his vaccine yet. The protester one’s husband is in a coma in hospital (also unvaccinated).

    One of my DS’s works in the Covid ICU at our local hospital, said they were busy again and all beds full. Someone I know has had a severe reaction to the Covid jab and ended up in hospital, but still is adamant that people have the jabs. I do know a couple of anti vac people all of them are young people who are convinced it’s all a conspiracy.x

    Happy Monday, Christmas week is upon us 🎄🎄

    I don't finish work until Thursday, wish I'd booked this week off tbh. On leave tomorrow for the funeral unless we get locked down. Not going to buy my train tickets until tonight to be on the safe side, I can pick up some flowers from M&S on the way to the station. 

    What a mess everything is at the moment, it's like the advent calendar from hell. Every day a new door opens with more bad news.

    Fingers crossed it won't be too busy this week work-wise, a lot of people have finished for Christmas now. Hoping to tick a few jobs off my work to do list.

    Today's tasks:

    Clean kitchen
    Send Mr SA's coat back
    15,000 steps minimum
    Meal plan for the week
    Short HIIT workout
    Yoga/Pilates wind down after work
    Dog walking at lunchtime
    Write out tags for presents before I forget what's for who
    Book train tickets for tomorrow
    Ironing

    Mr SA's zip problem is that when he's got his coat on it opens from the bottom. No idea why this keeps happening, it must be something he's doing wrong it never happens to my zips. He's an absolute nightmare.
