A very normal day!
The alarm woke me up at 5am sharp. I stood and turned it off and returned to bed! I gave myself an excuse that I was stressed about a relative who is sick in another country and was contacted to support and provide guidance about management during the night and the early hours of the morning. For some reason I recently find myself with less reserve to take even minor trauma without tensing my muscles and speeding my heartbeats. I am so aware of my mortality and the mortality of those around me and it makes me question the meaning of life and expect anything!
I did not get up until after 6am to get ready for an online meeting at half past seven before I get ready for work. I was tempted to work from home given that I have only administrative work to do however I remembered that I have promised my junior colleague to review a patient with him today and another colleague to go for coffee with her to celebrate her joining our team.
Rushing to do things and taking my sealed mug of hot chocolate I missed the bus by a fraction of a second as I saw it depart before me. I smiled though since this means I will have to run to the nearest station since thankfully the bus now has a mini tour before it returns back to a near stop at a 5min walk (or run! 😅) distance. Sort of an exercise I tell myself! I was though comfortable and not stressed at all and did not even think about what if I miss it there as well. Lucky enough I was just fast enough to catch up with the bus and delightfully shown my NHS card since “hey! We are so lucky these days, NHS workers have a whole month of free transport this Jan 2022!”. I do not know who thought about it but it is a very kind and encouraging gesture!
I reached my desk in time to set my PC on and start my journey through the e-mails and the electronic records of patients. I had the office to myself most of the time and with the curtains down I got even the privacy to have a brief dance of joy after each hour of work celebrating the little achievement and telling myself “I hope that no one will suddenly enter the office and find me sillily dancing and ruining my prestige! Not that I claim any! 😅🤭”.
It was a good working day not to bore you with more details about it.
Arriving home, getting clean and refreshed, doing my prayers and setting to cook some food whilst speaking to my sister on the phone before she leaves for a lesson. I got things in the oven and rushed to start “Getting things done” while my food is being cooked! I did not get the chance to do so yesterday and earlier today. I find the author’s way of writing interesting, different and easy to read. First note registered (or re-registered since I have already read about it before):
“if something takes less than 2 min to do, do it immediately and do not pile it for later!”
A very sensible advice I tell myself. He went on to tell us that his book is valid for anytime and is adaptable to changes in technology. I kind of believe him from the first pages and I cannot wait to learn more!
I guess you figured out that I do not have much to talk about apart from my boring diary entry! I promised myself to keep the blog going regardless and I shall do so even if it meant that at times I am just reporting my day. I promise that from time to time I will share something useful and interesting! Good night!
Accountability note: failed the 5am start this morning but tomorrow is another day!
