Have been pretty good so I suppose I should write about them. I suppose I should try to remember the good times as well as the bad, yeah?!
Yesterday I went back to work for the first time in over a month, well not quite, well 3 weeks and it was really good fun. Afterwards, I felt great – it was brilliant to have some kind of purpose again, I felt needed and wanted and helpful. All of the helpful. I also had some structure which is especially important for me. I don’t know why but lack of structure is hard, very hard for me. As soon as I had finished work, I emailed my manager to ask if I could do one day per week, to keep some kind of sanity and today the came back to me and said yes. I felt such a relief knowing that at least one of my days will be structured. If not just for me, but for the children too.
I arrived home last night to this wonderful care package from a good friend of mine, totally unexpected but always needed. I am very thankful for C, grateful for our friendship and what she helps me through. This surprise came at the perfect time and is oh so cute. A real pick me up to finish off my day. A very humble and needed good day indeed.
Funny how things turn out, hey?!
Then today, I was up early for therapy in which I cycled to the local common because I find it hard to have intimate phone calls in my house. It was good, we had some time to digest what has been going on recently and how the lock down had affected me and how her being pregnant has affected me. The session went rather quickly though.
As I was already outside in the beautiful sunshine I thought I would cycle to central to get my Swedish sweets and Norwegian cheese. It ended up being 21km one way ( I must have got lost somewhere haha) and on the way home I decided to cycle apparently getting lost again but through Hyde and Regents Park feeling the sun on my skin, my back aching but feeling good for it. I have been testing my balance reently and seeing how far I can ride no handed – today I rode for about 8 minutes which I thought was quite a feat. If i had more room in my house I’d like to learn how to do a handstand and buy a boxing stand. But alas, not yet, When I finally arrived home, I reckon I had ridden 35km at least today so about 21 miles.
My day continued with it’s happiness after a video call with my bestie. Absolutely the best person in the world she is. I had a horrendous dream about her and her family last night which I did not relay to her completely as I don’t want her to be worried but it was so wonderful to speak to her.
We are 2 peas in a pod. A is the better half of me. Always happy, always smiling.
I am now back aching but fulfilled and happy. I am going to do my norm of peppermint tea and watch ” The Quiz”.
Goodnight beautiful people.
