5th April - Fire drills and Slimming Club

 Evening all.

Today was the day for our fire warden training. Apparently we did a good job, sweeping the site and evacuating people (office staff pretending to be visitors) in around 12 minutes. Bosses were pleased with this.

On Mondays and Tuesdays during term time, our museum is currently closed so it was the ideal time for some drilling without added pressure for our newer staff (and as a refresher for me!)

After that, the rest of the day was spent on my laptop as I continued to organise my Dropbox files of photos I've taken of the site and collection. Hopefully it's easier for our Communications Officer to access photos if she wants to use them.

After work I had a little bit of sitting time before a delivery arrived for me. I ordered myself some calligraphy books to try out the new set which will also be of use for my Craft badge and for Mindfulness too.

I also treated myself to a new Care Bear for my collection. I have over 60 and I've now added the Togetherness Bear.

After that it was a trip round the corner to the football club near my house for Slimming World. Considering I didn't go last week because none of us could be bothered to eat properly while mum was ill with covid, I was impressed I managed to lose 1½lbs which is good. I'm still a way off my target, but that's ok. Even small losses are still losses.

But as much as I feel like I did loads today, I also feel like I didn't do much. But I'm also really tired. Looking forward to another day off tomorrow and getting my nails done.

Today's five:

1. Considerate bosses. It's really nice to know that they're willing to look after me and help me to do my job while recovering.
2. Being able to leave work early.
3. Spotting foxes while we walk the dog.
4. Losing weight when you don't expect to.
5. Coffee. Coffee is always good.
