How frustrating after all the rigmarole of tests too. Fingers crossed for next week then.
tbh i've barely done anything today as my allergies are acting up
woke up around 9, had yoghurt for breakfast and tea instead of coffee because i felt meh
tattled a bit and played a round of a videogame, then moved to the couch
spend most of the morning watching community then had lunch with bf
had a 2 hour nap, woke up and continued watching netflix and tattling
this evening my bf has to take an overnight bus to get to his post-operation check up in the morning
so the rest of the evening will be just chilling, packing and preparing until we drive to the bus station
then my dad will come pick up the car and i'll probably walk back home to get some movement in

A whole lot of nothing.
Woken up by kids screaming at 8; they were fighting over a toy. Took them downstairs and gave them breakfast. OH got up shortly after and joined us downstairs. I then went back to bed until 2pm. Woke up with a headache and feeling like I could be sick but wasn’t. Came downstairs again. OH had taken kids out while I was asleep, so was home alone. Took pain and a cold glass of water. Fed cats, cleaned dishes in the sink and had a bowl of cereal.
Sat on couch watching rubbish on TV.
Family still not home. OH called, he was doing the weekly shop and they would be home soon.
I’ll start dinner soon, then get ready for work tonight. Really don’t feel up to it though.

Happy Birthday!It’s my birthday today28 years young
Woke up, sent a few work emails
Showered/got dressed
It’s snowing really heavy where I live, went for a snowy walk. Good to get out!
Going to order a takeaway later & open my presents with my family. Quite cool having a lockdown birthday!
... had dinner with parents. I cooked Orange Marinated chicken and rice, which went down very well
Have a drive into Pretoria, bought a few bits and pieces
Had another shower, changed into t-shirt and shorts - quite muggy and humid.
Read online papers
Decided to flick my bean before falling asleep for an hour
Am now with parents on the patio enjoying a small buffet
A frustrating weekend almost at a close
Had a lie in, got up and dressed. OH put us some sausages under the grill and I went to go and collect some Jacqueline Wilson books I’d bought off FB. Yes, they are for 31 year old me to relive my childhood 
Came back, had breakfast and had the weekly family Zoom call.
Asked OH if he fancied going for a walk with the kids. He didn’t and I knew it’d be difficult to drag them out too so gave up. Started reading a new book instead and got quite a bit done.
Half cooked a roast chicken dinner with OH helping and watching like a little apprentice
Played a few games on the switch with the kids. Took stepchildren home and then had a bit of a rant that the 14yo is really mouthy at the moment
if we’re in and have no plans, he usually gets to spend a good few hours on his games which is fine - he’s a teen and this is the only way he’s socialising atm. We only see him when he wants food or he’s forced to be downstairs with us - again fine, I understand it’s his age atm! However, what is pissing me off is that when he is downstairs with us, every other comment is sarcy or cheeky. Hoping now I’ve had a good rant about it, OH will start being a bit stricter too because I feel like the wicked stepmother at times.
Anyway, tonight we’re going to watch Dancing on Ice with the youngest.

update: it has started snowing (it almost never snows where i live)
so i opened the balcony door and watched my cat play in the snow, cutest thing ever
Not much today, another bad night with the baby last night but got a lie in cos of it
Fella took him for a walk so I hoovered up as the poor little mite is scared of the hoover
Fella watched the match so I pushed the baby round on his new truck round the house for about 45 minutes and we had a laugh
Facetimed my Mum with the baby, miss her loads
Had tea and caught up with the soaps now I'm in bed

Update on make up gate:
After discussion, sister apologised. She made up some bullshit about thinking I bought them for her as a late Christmas gift. It was a Charlotte Tilbury foundation, some Revolution setting spray, a high end beauty blender and some hydraulic acid that she robbed from me, so not cheap! Bare in mind she already got a hoodie, Nike socks and perfume from me for christmas - I don't give to recieve but in return she bought me 4 cans of Energy drink, a mug that with "queen bleep" on and a TShirt she bought for herself last summer but decided it wasn't for her - just for reference here.
It's like she's gone completely senile. It's so out of character I don't know what to say. My only guess is, with her, my brother and dad all living at and all working from home, that they have been driving eachother completely mental.

Not much today as I think I’ve got a cold/flu brewing (hopefully not Covid...!)
Slept on and off most of the morning & afternoon
Got up to have a drink but went back to bed
Made myself a toasted bagel
Had a shower and put clean pyjamas on
Been in bed watching final series of Gossip Girl, hopefully going to sleep soon

Absolutely nothing. I am bored. Going out of my mind. At least it’s back to WFH & home school tomorrow
I’m trying to downplay my expectations of Sundays. I feel like I should completely blitz the house, go on some epic walk then cook a wonderful meal but I did the housework that needed to be done, walked the dog in the park and cooked a nice dinner. Nothing special but it was nice.
It helped that I didn’t have a drink last night and didn’t look at tattle until about an hour ago. I love it but, man, it’s a thief of time.

My screen time has gone through the roof being on tattle lately. I’m embarrassed about it
Woke at 6 under a hot glaring morning sun
Went for 11 mile run, this time joined by a fellow runner from out of nowhere
Showered, dressed, breakfast
Tattled, checked emails
IT work for a couple of hours
Booked another PCR test in Pretoria on Wednesday
Zoomed G/f in England. The more I talk to her the more I realise I want to be with her.
Watched some X Files for an hour
Lunch - more rabbit food
An hour sunbathing on the patio
More IT work
3:30pm now, and I think I'll go for a drive to J'burg central

Feels like school work completely took over today. I’ve always said I’m pleased he has a few bits to do, as it keeps him busy each day and stops the battle of trying to think of ways to entertain without relying on some kind of device.
However today he was doing it from 9.30-3.40... he’s 8! I wasn’t working either so was sat with him probably 90% of the time. He did have a 30 min Zoom call and we did an extra science experiment after the work he did, but even with that extra and 40 mins break for dinner, it felt loooong.
I think tomorrow we will just focus on his 3 main pieces and treat spellings, reading, the additional challenge they’re set as optional depending on how we get on. I feel fortunate that he’s clever and does enjoy learning, but the motivation was fading fast for us both towards the end!
We were going to go on the Ring Fit for some exercise once we’d finished, but neither can be bothered so he’s on the iPad and I’m Tattling

Not much...I still don't feel 100%. My Covid test arrived today so I'll post that tomorrow at the Priority Postbox near me.
Managed to have a shower and put clean pyjamas on. Checked my emails for work and Tattled.
