Home school this morning. We managed about 3 things before he got bored (he’s in reception, please tell me that’s normal)
Have worked all day, about to cook dinner and go for a walk. My back is killing from being inactive this lockdown!!

Got up, logged son onto home schooling for the day. Did some of my own work on the laptop but wasn’t in a motivated mood today so haven’t done as much as I should have 🤦‍♀️ Made some lunch, cleaned and mopped the kitchen. Tattled and now need to think about tea and perhaps do some more work this evening. Groundhog Day 🙄😭

@nbt i've been keeping an eye out for your posts for a while and you sound like such a nice and patient person 💛

got up around 7:30, kitty was very chatty so was laughing at her a bit, fed her, changed her water, litter, etc.
got ready for the day, had yoghurt and coffee for breakfast while tattling and reading online newspaper
started working around 9, did a looot of emails with clients and somewhere in between those did a load of laundry
bf let me know he was told by the doctor that everything is okay post-op (it was a benign tumor that he took out) and he's allowed to start working again, and that he was on his way to take the bus back home! he arrives back this evening 🧡 we're finally done with that story
tidied the house a bit, deep cleaned the kitchen and started doing some prep for a nice dinner tonight
continued working, then had lunch and after lunch went out to take out the trash and get some fresh air
when i came back i sat on the couch a bit tattling, feeling tired because of my allergies going wild so i had another 2 hour nap
woke up, had a sandwich and made myself some tea, played with the kitty
now just chilling and soon i'll finish up dinner so that it's ready for when bf is home

That’s such a kind thing to say, thank you so much 🥰

I’m pleased everything went well with your BF, that must have been such a worry. I bet you’re so relieved.

Woke up for class 3 minutes before it was meant to start, class ended up starting 15 minutes later than usual so I had time to wake up.
After that class ended I attempted to get more sleep but failed so got up, sorted the pile of clothes I got from my brother and washed my hair.
Sat down for my next class, and worked until 5 before finally handing my assignment up.
I'm planning on typing up whatever else I'm missing although I'm not feeling too good right now.
Tonight is just relaxing as much as possible.

Did first at-home leg workout in weeks. It felt pretty great actually, except my right hip joint feel very tight as per 🙄
Signed contract for new job, yay! I start next Monday.
Spoke to my friend and her bf on video call, met their new kitten, a British Shorthair kitten. He is called Moon and is very sweet
Spoke to my other friend who's car got broken into, poor sod
Went for an hour long walk, my right hip joint was giving me grief by the end. I will do a big stretching session on it tomorrow which should help.
Washed my hair
Attempted to clean the flat (failed). Will try again tomorrow
Made spaghetti and veggie meatballs
I'm now going to soak in the bath and start reading the Anthony Keidis (singer from Red Hot Chilli Peppers) autobiography

Sorted the babies room out! Sort of! Still a bit left. He's nearly a year old and he's still in with us!
I'm sooooo clingy, ill miss him 😂
I turned his pram round to face out and I miss seeing his cute little face when I take him for walks

One week left of holidays before I return to school ( as an English teacher). Girding my loins - the roller coaster is about to begin. Beautiful weather in Melbourne today.

Woke at 6, didn't bother with a run
Had an argument with my mother, and not for the first time either
Didn't bother with breakfast
Fancied a trip to Durban, but seems only essential/business flights from Johannesburg are allowed. And its 5 hours drive, so knocked that on the head.
Spent some time on the patio contemplating things
Had lunch, but didn't eat all of my salad
Another shouting match with my mother
Finding it hard to focus today, and its only just 2:15pm

I hated it when I turned my sons pram out too, I used to love looking at his little face and making him giggle - now strangers get the benefit of his utter cuteness and they don’t even care! It’s all wrong. 😂

Started today with operation “get the important school work bits done and duck the rest because we don’t want to be sat doing it for hours again”.

Did the 3 main bits - English, Maths and Topic... still took about 4.5 hours?! I don’t know what’s changed from the last two weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️ Interestingly though, we’ve also had an email from the school to say to go at our own pace. So we will do that and I’m going to aim for him to be finished by 2.30 the next few days, which will coincide with me finishing work. Then we’ll have a bit of extra time to do something.

This afternoon felt like I was against the clock to try and finally get out for a walk before it got dark. Once he did finish, looked outside and it was raining 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 we drove to Asda for some bits and once we were back it’d stopped, so we just did a 30 min walk round the block. It felt good to get out for some fresh air!

Just had 30 mins to finish my book while he played, now I’m cooking toad in the hole.

Tonight I’m going to catch up on a bit of TV. Might watch a couple of episodes of The Pembrokeshire Murders.

woke up very tired because i barely slept last night and my allergies are still bothering me
but i had a meeting in the morning so i showered, washed my hair, got dressed, styled my hair and actually put some makeup on
tattled and did a few emails while having yoghurt and coffee for breakfast
went to the meeting at 10, it lasted until about 14 and we ordered lunch there, all in all was very productive
came home even more tired so tried to take a nap but couldn't fall asleep so played with kitty instead
after that mainly some videogames and tattle with a few emails in between
now on the couch having a cup of tea and trying to get rid of all my emails so that i can focus on other work things tomorrow

Spent 40 miserable minutes on hold to the council only to find out I have to singlehandedly pay a £200+ council tax bill for a STUDENT PROPERTY because according to my crappy university, you stop being a student NOT at graduation but 5 minutes after term ends.

Considering I didn't even live there and have no money anyway, I'm bloody fuming and it seems really egregious that they're doing this 😠😭
