Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

The top sounds lovely, I hope you like it when it arrives.

If it was me, I'd have a big froggy feast, get them all eaten, have a big reward and spend the next few days feeling rather happy with myself

I'm also in the camp of having a "froggy feast" as @Muriel_Heslop describes it as above. I think (torturous as it may feel), it's better to get them all eaten or at least starting to eat them in one go than to have things hanging over you every day. Although you may need to follow up on something during some other days, often it's the getting started that's the hard part and the follow up is less painful. 

Well done on all your progress over the last couple of weeks. I like the sound of your work coach. I'd be interested in having some kind of business mentor, since I'm fairly new to my position and it's my first time in a position of this level of seniority. I have no clue where to start though. 

Hope your socially distanced garden gathering is lovely. It sounds delightful!

Well done on eating the outbuilding frog DIA!  And you seem to be munching on a few more, i.e. bathroom fitter and measuring up the outhouse ready to store the bath. 

Great news!👍

Thanks @Muriel_Heslop (such a great name!) I think a froggy feast might be the best way forward
Thanks @Homegrown0 You are right it IS the getting started. Once started I can easily go on so froggy feast here I come. My work coach is a great help. I only know contacts in the creative field but I hope you find something similar.
Thanks @Seasidegal58 The fear of another lockdown in this house motivates me to keep going forward so I can move someday soon

HOUSE PROGRESS

Bathroom fitter came. I like him. He was helpful so hoping for a reasonable quote so I can use him

Carpenter contacted to quote for shelves

Decorator message left

Top came. Nice, but I only keep fabulous in my wardrobe now, so back it goes

All day spent on the above so no actual work done.

Tomorrow will be a work focused day.

I'm rubbish at doing quotes but I loved your line " I only keep fabulous in my wardrobe" - awesome attitude!

Great progress on the house and work by the sound of it. I loved the 'only keep fabulous in my wardrobe' comment to. May need to borrow that one.

Thanks beanielou. Really hoping for a reasonable quote so I can get on with it. Feels good making progress when lockdown has given me the feeling of being 'stuck in limbo'
