  • It happened lockdown no 3 , I don't know why but I feel more anxious about this one . I am glad though to still be working and have a job. I haven't slept well for the past two nights I think that's why I feel so glum. 
    It does feel slightly warmer today as well , I have the window open as usual but am not freezing. 
    Have money going in from Topcashback about £40 will put that away for a rainy day. 
    Will try and be positive . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • I feel much better about things now , I had a lovely walk in the sun at lunchtime . Work did a Mindfulness session with our in house well being lady that was about anxiety. Plus I have had some lovely compliments this afternoon from colleagues about how accommodating I always am. Plenty of blessings then today , I hope I sleep well tonight .

    I’m glad you got out for a walk. I need to get off my behind and do that tomorrow. The mindfulness session sounded as if it did you good, as did the compliments 👏👏

  • Today started of well, went for my monthly Covid test and it was very quiet at the testing station. Then went into work, treated myself to a lovely latte from the on site cafe which is still open even though there are a handful of staff in. Had a productive morning printing all the post and getting it ready for the post room. Left about 12.30 , going to my car I fell backwards on the ice in the car park banged my head as I went down. Well I was shocked I had put my right hand down and it hurt. Anyway luckily there were a couple of people around and I got help. I have been very lucky, I have bruising coming out all over my back and my palm, lump on my head , couple of cuts. 
    Tomorrow I am going nowhere I think I will be in some pain and stiff. 
     Be careful out there in the ice , it's so easy to fall .
