Monday (109/365)
Apr. 19th, 2021 07:45 pmThe weekend before last, I managed to slip over on a muddy slope and twisted my left leg under me. It twinged a bit, and then seemed to be getting better, but over the weekend it stiffened up again and this morning when I went for my walk it was hurting quite a bit, so I picked up a stick when I was walking through the belt of woods by the church. That seemed to help, but I felt silly walking along with a stick, so I put it down again, and then shortly thereafter regretted it and picked up another stick from the hedge, which I carried until I got to the woods by the canal and swapped it for a slightly smaller stick.
Tomorrow I'll take a trekking pole instead.
Still, it was a lovely sunny morning and I saw several deer and a red kite perched in a tree, so it was a good walk.
The rest of today was very Mondayish, and involved (a) too many meetings; (b) spending most of the day attempting to write one email; and (c) carrying on failing to write the business case I should have written on Friday. And I had a lovely helpful email from someone saying "I hear you're planning on doing X, and normally you'd have to wait until $deadline which means it wouldn't be approved until the end of term, but I could circulate it to the committee so it's approved earlier if that would help?", which is really good apart from the part where I now have to actually put together the request to do X three weeks earlier than I thought I would.
