Went for a swim today- 1.8k swam, got it squeezed in before the dreaded aqua aerobics started, AND I mostly had the lane to myself 🥳

Ohh btw supervision did happen (despite initially looking like it might not bc I had to do an unexpected assessment!)
Anyway, my manager said she thinks I’ve settled in well and she has no concerns about my work/I know what I’m doing 🤗

The only thing I have scheduled in my work diary tomorrow is supervision…I’m curious to see if this happens bc in my old job supervision just wasn’t done lol. I’ll try keep busy with some online training, which is something else that just didn’t happen in my old job 😅

In today’s kitchen disaster, I forgot to turn the oven off and it was maybe 30mins before I walked past it and noticed it was still on 🫠

Used my TOIL this afternoon bc I had nothing in my diary and all my admin is up to date, and after lunch with my dad and getting some messages done, I was v looking forward to a nap. But then my engine oil light came on and now I’m waiting for dad to come round to help sort it 😅

Also, on this: one of the girls at work said I’m the smiley/happy/laugh-y one, like bYE, baseline brona isn’t like that 😭😭
Feeling super content rn and I wish I could be a 7 on the mood scale foreverrr bc confidence/motivation/general sense that all is right in the world is just the BEST feeling???? Why do I gotta take meds to dampen this??? (Answer: bc a 7 escalates to 8/9/unbearable agitation 🥱😒

Enjoying my Monday’s off! Today has been run, clean bed sheets, laundry, washing my mountain of dishes, hair oiling and shower. To be done = food shop, prep lunch for work, clean kitchen surfaces. And being able to do this on Mondays means I still have Sunday’s for ~weekending 💁🏼♀️

I RAN today for the first time since mid August!!! Just 400m intervals and it’ll take a while to get back to where I was. My ankle felt fine and is still ok after…hopefully they’ll be no pain overnight/tomo either 🙏🏻 it was good to be back!

Wish I could press a button and be finished my workout, instead of lying on my bed, in my pyjamas, not even ready to go out and start it

My VO2 max has decreased by *four* points since August bc I’ve not been able to run 🥲🥲
BUT, tomorrow I’m planning to go to the track to do some intervals, and I’m really hoping my ankle will hold up and I can get back into running properly over the next few weeks 🙏🏻

Soooo one of the girls happened to mention in front of my manager about me being in every day at 8.30 and my manager was like ‘what are you doing in so early!!!!’ So I took it as an opportunity to ask RE making it an official thing and she said we can discuss it 🤗
Also I arrived at work at 8.25am and I feel like I should just speak to my manager about going 8.30-4.30 hours instead of 9-5pm bc I’m here anyway but being early unofficially means I can’t officially leave a early, so I’m effectively working half an hour for free??

Six weeks in my new job complete! One of the girls said yday she thinks I’ve settled in well to the team and I feel like I’m slowly starting to find my feet- had a few instances the last couple of weeks where I’ve felt my confidence grow 🙏🏻
