Happy Monday!

Full disclosure, I’m writing this on Sunday night, I have no idea if Monday will actually be happy but it is my fervent hope that it will be for me and for anyone reading this…

So last week was tricky, I’d planned to be in the office for the first half of the week but I was struggling with work and home and sleep. I was also back on the ‘throwing up in the morning’ bullshit, this has pretty much been a thing my hormones do, periods as a teenager came with a side of vomiting. I’ve been having either a very light period or some breakthrough bleeding, my money is on the period but I’m nearly fifty fucking two and I’m so over this bullshit….

Anyway, work continued to be difficult as all the reporting systems broke down and the person in change of the reporting was on leave. I was convinced it was me, not the reports, so I spent an entire two days checking my work. And it wasn’t me, it was the reporting. So I did it the old more manual way and I found a bunch of other stuff that was wrong and it was a day late. So I essentially spent four and half days, doing something that should have taken me a day and a half at most. It’s all good to keep me continuously improving (which is a huge thing in my work life) but it does mean that this week is going to be busy and full of catching up.

Aside from that, it was a very normal week. Admit the irritations, I got a new toy for making my feet smoother, it’s amazing how getting rid of the dry skin on my feet, helped my mood!

I saw Ma on Saturday and did her ironing (when we were teenagers, we were responsible for all our non uniform ironing, if we wanted Ma to do it, we paid her £1 per item) £7 of ironing! My brother did shopping with Ma last week and left me some gin, for which I was very grateful post housework.

On Sunday Tom and his daughter came for a visit to the plot and some strawberry picking, no strawberries went home because I’m pretty sure that the amount of berries a small child can eat is infinite! It was good to see them and then to get some work done.

Which brings me to now. This week is all about all the usual things. I’m missing Grace at the weekend because they are in the woods for the day on Saturday and that is my mother day! I need to make sure I exercise and get enough sleep this week because it has just gone to bits in the past week or two.

I hope to have the best week I can manage and hope you do to…
