Went for a big muddy walk, spent a couple of hours working, and now it's time to settle down and watch a movie. Haven't decided what to watch yet though!

Haven’t slept all night - literally been awake all night! So I feel rubbish now.
Had to re-schedule a meeting because I knew I wouldn’t be able to focus. Thankfully it’s ok for me to do that.
Not sure what to do with my day - resisting the urge to go have a nap and just get a super early night tonight.
The lack of sleep has really affected my MH today so I think I’m just going to be kind to myself & do what work/chores I can manage.

The last 3 or so days have more or less been the same for me, so haven't been on this thread much. Today I:
Had a long lie in until about 11.00 am.
Got up, got myself washed and ready for the day.
Sorted through what CDs I wanted to listen to (I am one of those people who still uses CDs can you believe that?! 🤣)
Made a start on my coursework while having breakfast around 1.00 pm.
Got about 3? hours worth of work done so did some tidying up around the room.
Worked on some writing, then had dinner.
Finally got my hair washed and lovely.
Now I'm sitting in bed watching TV, working on some writing and trying to work out how I'll be donating to a local charity appeal that launched today.

Stayed up until 2am - we couldn't celebrate, fireworks banned, curfews in force; no drinking of alcohol allowed. So the NY here was a bit of an anticlimax
Woke at 7am and went for a 6 mile run
Showered, dressed in shorts and t-shirt, had breakfast while reading news
Relied to a number of text and voice messages, and then had a clear-out of my wardrobes
Decided to buy a performance bike from local store (when it opens). Bored of running
Zoomed girlfriend for 30 minutes
Was going to spend some time sunbathing, but its just started to rain
Haven't had any alcohol for 3 days now - slowly starting to unravel
Am now watching The Crown in my bedroom

In my first call of the day someone started a politics chat, always a terrible idea - I didn't need to know that Sally from accounts is a Trump supporter, thank you

Morning routine, made my 8 year old a school pack up “from the Elf”. Son declared he loved it and would definitely eat his sandwiches today because the elf made them. Told me not to forget “his amazing pack up” when we left this morning 🙄😂

Home, ripped up a load of cardboard ready to go in the bin because lots of deliveries + a bin that gets emptied just once every two weeks = annoying.

Worked for a few hours. Put HP and the Half Blood Prince on. Took 4+ hours to watch as kept having to pause it to concentrate on work 😂

Did afternoon school run. Came home and prepped a lasagne. Went out to pick up food shop, put away and put tea in the oven. Just waiting for that to cook and then taking my stepdaughter to gymnastics, then will pick her up 90 mins later. Not gonna lie, I was living for the lockdown life when I didn’t have to do this every Friday night 🙈

Once kids are in bed and we’re settled, will watch tv with a couple of drinks.

Got up at 7am, got kids ready for school, ex took them to school. I worked from home in the dining room (with a spot of tattle too). Walked the dog lunchtime, got kids.
Daughter has Guides with a session from a forensic scientist tonight so I might listen in on zoom but otherwise, a typical day at the moment...

Think I'll have a couple of drinks and watch the new season of Virgin River at 9.
