Reflecting on my week #122

I missed my weekly update post last week, but not because there wasn’t anything to say, but also because after another busy week there was still quite a lot of processing to be done. And now looking back after our first week of co-working from home, the two weeks just gone have merged together.

Our dining room table has become mission control and quite quickly we’ve notched up our first week working at home. I’ve learnt that MOH is much more disciplined than me at taking breaks, and drinking throughout the day and that neither of us are very good at logging off in a timely manner. We’ve both pulled a couple of 8pm finishes and I know it’s not sustainable. We both have plenty of work on, but we both know we need those boundaries.

MOH did ask if I have a butler at work to make me drinks during the day. I don’t, but now he’s suggested it I’m thinking about keeping him on…

He’s also pretty good at Gin & Tonics. Which have become a bit of a thing too, luckily we have plenty of gin.

This weekend I’ve made a concerted effort to switch off, and that’s meant stepping away from the laptop too. So while I had plenty to do blog-wise, it hasn’t been done and I'll make time for that I’m sure. I’ve fitted in some pottering around in my craft room, read some magazines and finally worked out how far I’d got with my Vintage Hearts crochet blanket, and picked it up again.

I'm hoping that over the coming weeks - and who knows how long the current situation will last - I’ll find plenty more time to get my hook out. I've a feeling it will help.
