Normal, but no longer normal (145/365)

[white_hart]

Today I sat in a room and ate lunch at the same time as two other people, neither of whom was T. I hadn't eaten in the same room as other people for 14 months, though I had a couple of outdoor meals with my parents last September and takeaway sushi in a friend's garden in December. I was really quite anxious about doing it, but it was nice to get the chance to chat to people in my team, and I hate eating at my desk and my office smelling of food all afternoon.

Then, on the way home, I went to a supermarket for only the second time in 14 months, because T had realised we didn't have enough eggs and I was going to be near one.

I have also now booked all but three days of my annual leave; my normal week straight after the end of term and two weeks in early September, and every Friday in July and August.

I gave a friend a hug today!

Normality!

I still haven't hugged anyone other than T for a long time!

Enjoy the annual leave. It's good to get it in the diary.

C was asking about availability to be on an interview panel someone had asked for me on, so I decided I'd better get it in pronto!

Every Friday in July and August sounds like such a good idea. I really hope it helps.

That is what I was going to say.

Thank you. I did it last summer and it made a lot of difference.
