Stir Up Thursday

I woke at just after midnight last night and had sleep so well for those previous couple of hours I felt like I'd had a full nights sleep. I was however soon back asleep again and woke several hours later feeling much refreshed after the last few very active days. One of the rules of the challenge is you can only record exercise 6 days a week to ensure some rest. Unless something changes, today is my rest day and thankfully it was a physically easy day at work coordinating a&e xray, although mentally more challenging. Back in March we thought there would be a surge in workload and a loss of staff due to sickness and isolation but the reality was not so bad. This time round we have more staff off and none of the additional staff we had from other modalities. A&E was relatively quiet but there was a constant stream of requests for ward patients which took up much of our time. We're all trying to balance helping out with having a break and family time.

Back at home after a quick tea, I was decorating J's Upcycled Christmas tree for a backdrop to our WI stir up Thursday meeting. 33 of us joined together via zoom to mix our puddings ready for cooking tomorrow. The bonus of not being in the hall where we usually are was there was a lot less tidying up to do after!
