So, what happened with the bus on Monday last week, happened with the bus today. I rush out of the house to find I need to wait 15 minutes. Luckily, there was very little of a rush hour. Mind you, I also found there was very little of a staff today, too. One of my colleagues and I theorised today that it may be as it is the school holidays those of us with kids have taken time off. I am in that weird stage between being the kid, and being the colleague with the kid, and I don’t know how I feel about that.
Today was mainly ploughing through training sessions, switched up with the decision to get onto point 4 in the list of Momentous Tasks my boss asked me to do, if I have time (I have too much), and descending into the dungeon-like basement (yes, I am scared of the basement, don’t judge) and tidying our store of stationery, boxes, and various other bits and bobs under OM supervision.
I think I organised around 50 folders today, along with the stationery shelf, the Covid precautions shelf, and making some way with our large collection of Esselte boxes. That’s probably a third of it done? I’m quite pleased.
Apparently the postman came early today, which makes me worry that maybe I need to come in earlier, because receiving, handing over and sorting the mail is up to OM, and that is me, at the moment.
On the subject of worry, though, after I got home, having done a grocery shop, and looked at some uni work on the bus, I went out for a run, and worked out afterwards. I can confirm that I felt like I had just come from a spa. It was a good 15 minute run, which is about 2km from what I know of myself. I tripped once, quite badly, but got up easily. Amazing feeling having finished it all, even better once I showered and got into pjs. Endorphins, eh?
And then I ended the day deciding that I needed to cook something quick, and so I made spaghetti carbonara, which in my admittedly truly childish books, is a perfect meal.
Yes, I have concerns, and stress, and I feel I could have organised my time slightly better, but you know what? I reckon it has actually been a really good day.
Don’t be so tough on yourself.
Figure out what you need to do, how to do it, and then walk to your destination, step by step. Just try and start in good time.
Exercise does marvels.
Good night! ❤
