Working from home today, I woke up, stretched in bed and prayed for the day to be a good one and for me to be a better and a happier person. I listened to Tony Robbins while I was brushing my teeth before pausing him for privacy and resuming the moment I sat at the table to start my work giving myself a few minutes to practise his proposed meditation.
A few things more I like about working from home beside the freedom I have described before are keeping my feet bare on the picnic blanket that I throw beneath the table for some warmth and the scented candles adding an element of relaxation beside some music! I promise I do not sleep, I work with focus with less interruptions to move around as no boredom to break!
I had limited human contact today. Beside my sister I called only one patient and had one zoom meeting with my colleague to review her article. Then all paperwork and e-mails until interrupted by the delivery men with my dressing table that I have ordered for 7 months ago! I was hoping that by the time it arrives I would have bought my house ,however, house hunting in Cambridge turned to be mission impossible! Trying o find a house with character needs a bigger sum of money. Not that I am buying a house in Coppice Avenue though I recall that I was dazzled by one of those! I hunt for a 3-bedroom house with two bathrooms, big windows with light everywhere, a spacious kitchen and dining area, a warm lounge and a big garden with a small potential playground. Somewhere away from the crowded centre but not too far from work! I am dreaming I guess! But I find it so hard to settle for less snd I know that I will need to build my budget up if I am not to surrender and settle for less! But, hey! I know how to make my dreams come true! (with God’s will, of course!). 18 long months to find somewhere. My heart is hooked with Great Shelford though now I started to regret that I have turned down that beautiful house in Hauxton concerned about the history of buried chemicals! “Maybe I was stupid to turn down that offer! I told myself!”. But I could not get a house that I might one day be forced to sell and for sure would not be able to sell to anyone if I have an inkling of a doubt about safety to others! Anyway, they say that your house will find you and home is where the heart is! 😅
How did I get there? Oh, yes, the dressing table. I could not wait to finish the working hours to unpack it and put it together! I love it! Maybe I would share photos once I decorate it with my plants ! Or maybe not! I wondered:
“Are you planning to spend the whole time by the mirror?”
“Of course not, but some vanity is not too bad!”
I say it for someone who did only manage to put eyeliners in her 4th decade and still removes any sign of a lipstick after having the courage to put it on reaching the gate! Is it hard to look modest and feminine at the same time?! I guess it is, sometimes!
Anyway, I had some learning to do about the hormones. Some GPS send intriguing cases and questions my way! By the end of my work I celebrated with a brief dance for crossing off my to do list (something one could not do at work! 😅) and clapped for finding out one of my patients did respond to treatment with his thyroid function trending towards normality after a long struggle!
I am aware that I have not shared anything useful today so I will leave you with an older wisdom from Instagram and a song!
Good night!
