Apple muncher's number crunching

We were fed for lunch and it was yummy scrummy.

Did zwow #40 early on - I think it is one of my faves. I will confess to videoing myself - I want to see what I look like and how good (or otherwise) my form is... I haven't yet had the privacy to watch it :rotfl:.

I forced myself to do some marking. But have left some for another day...

24 mini chocs have been attempted. Who'da thunk that melting choc and spooning it into mini muffin cases could be soooo tricky... And adding fudge bits/honeycomb bits/white or dark choc chips...Anyhow, dd reckons that they're ok, so - if they set - she can use some for her friends.

Good luck with videoing yourself - thats a good idea when you're doing it for a proper reason like that. I might try that when I start exercising in the house after finishing the garden digging - because of all the digging, my posture is *appalling*!

I've watched the video, karma. :eek::rotfl::eek:.

It won't be going on any publicly-seen device/app/platform.

Ever.

:rotfl: Yeah, no, yeah, that would be a mistake, or it certainly would for me :rotfl:

Did a kettlebell workout today. Enjoyed it. Didn't film it!

Took dd to school; then did a 3-way aldee shop: chocs for dh on behalf of big sis, food for foodbank (and dropped it off in the box in sainz), food for neighbour; did the workout; got the secateurs and chopped away at both the front and back plants before the rain arrived; then I set to allocating small choc bars to colleagues, tying a ribbon round them, adding felted santa/penguin as required, popping in a paper cmas bag and naming them. And then it was the turn of the head cook + kitchen staff at dd's school. And then her Head (I needed to re-sew a robin doorstop head, then stuff it, insert the bags of rice and sew up the belly so that it doesn't all spill out!)

I'va also made dd some gf/df choc chip cookies as she needs a packed lunch tomorrow. And some really-not-quite-paleo cakey thingies for me. And eaten my lunch.

Dd will be home soon enough, so I need to have a snack ready before we swoop off to swimming, and once we're back and fed, check on hwk for tomorrow and pinpoint any presents needed for friends at sch.

I am looking forward to my bed tonight...

Dd wrote cards to all her classmates yesterday. Go her! And she remembered to take them in today... She's ahead of me...

I had some chats with the relevant people at work, about post-hernia-op stuff. It was only during the last conversation that I clicked that I'd be given a sick note (now called a 'fit note'?!) For at least 1 week, so all my plans and machinations need to change...

I came home and wanted to do a workout, so just set a timer for 12 mins and did as many squats of various sorts as I could. I made it to 245. :T

Apple, remind us when the operation is? How are you feeling about it?

apple_muncher · 12 December 2019 at 3:33PM

Hi Karma - it's mid Jan. I was quite surprised to be offered the op just 6 weeks later, but as the dr was filling in funding forms, then I wasn't going to quibble and request a later date so that it fitted in with school hols!

I feel fine about it. I've had shoulder surgery and 2x eye surgery. So this doesn't faze (sp?) me. And I get a week off work - although it'll take about a week for the general anaesthetic to work its way out of my system so that'll use up the sick note!

I am very glad to have finished for the week. Everyone is tired. And it is all much harder work. Just 1 more get up for me.

Karmacat · 12 December 2019 at 3:35PM

Good to hear, apple. Excellent that its just one more getup. And seriously, check out twitter on dogsatpollingstations and catsatpollingstations

Dd so did not want to get up this morning. But it's her last one. And she finishes an hour early too.

I sent dh back to bed. No need for him to do a sainz (car distance) shop with me and his only food 'need' was bread, which I got from sainz for the same price as aldee. And used a 4.50 off 30 voucher. He slept until 10!! and is still rather wrecked.

I am surprised at the results from yesterday.

I have done a sandbag workout. An old bodyrock one. 12 mins of very hard work, then it's all over. And it was tough.

Some tidying away of my felting stuff has been done, with a view to being able to bring in the tree one day before the 25th...
