    Hope you're feeling better and have had a restful day. No better way to celebrate winter solstice than by doing as little as possible

    Sorry you are poorly 
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

  • A bubble seems to have burst (ahem) and I was full of energy today. Or at least, not in a bad mood which is of course the same thing. I suspect that going to work was somewhat of a relief after a Sunday spent not quite knowing what I was doing. All morning was in fact spent making attempts to get out of bed then returning to it, only to somewhat ironically be disturbed by a delivery 🤣
    Attempts to whittle down my task list were foiled both by tiredness and the fact that the petrol station washing machine was out of order. 
    This morning however was very productive in the sense that I just bought everything I needed- food for the day, bedding (sheets were in the wash that didn't happen). I continued this streak after work by going to the gym and actually using some equipment instead of just the shower 🤣
    It was supposed to be the return to part time hours today so of course I worked full time today 🤣 I did agree it with manager on Friday though so not unexpected. 
    Must put new bedding on as do not enjoy sleeping on bare mattress. Also need to make a list of what is left to do.
