This week brings lots of new challenges... potentially.
All my big furlough chores are complete and it was with a slight feeling of dread that I went to sleep last night realising that what was left were my stretch targets. These are not small things either - I want to learn German and I want to write a book that's been churning around my head for 4 years. In my mind I really want to do both - it seems that I currently lack the motivation.
Actually I may be jumping the gun I have just sat down and written a list of all the little things that need to be done - all boring things like car tax, checking messages, sorting out the holidays (I'll probably not be going on) requiring hotels to be cancelled etc. etc. The list is remarkably long.
On top of this my son has just started home schooling. I wait to see how much impact this will have one me, I know that it's had a huge impact on others. So far his school seems super organised with video led classes, a fixed timetable that includes exercise, with activities to be completed alone and sent back. I suspect that I may be sighing with relief too soon, but it's nice to be surprised by something positive.
Tomorrow our run of lovely sunshine stops and the rain comes back. I wonder if this will make things better or worse? We'll not be looking out the window wishing we were outside, but our daily walk will not be as pleasant - especially as the one thing that sucks about living by the sea is that with rain comes wind. It also means I'm going to have to dry our clothes inside the house and given that I'm currently having to do a wash every day I shall be hanging things from light switches before long.
In fact I can already see home schooling is going to be more of a challenge than expected as I have just been summoned to the room my son is schooling in - to remove a spider that was under his desk. I await another summons to remove a bee or wasp within the next 20 minutes......
I'm intrigued by those who are claiming boredom. Just how are you achieving that! I'm beginning to wonder how on earth I manage to fit a job in with my other activities - but that may just be my brain slowly curling up and going to sleep. Time will tell.
