Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 8.3 for me today. That was a long night. Was in work till midnight for the stock take. All seemed to go ok.
 
Morning all.

A steady 6.3 for me. Sun’s out, the dog has been walked and a whole fresh week of possibilities and opportunities awaits
 
Good morning all. A very nice 6.1, just like yesterday. Had a 10 mile walk yesterday so today’s will be a bit shorter, a walk to the pharmacy to pick up my cassettes for my meter. Monday is washing day but looks like I’ll be hanging it up in the house, rain forecast all day. :( Other than that nothing too taxing today. Have a Happy Monday.🙂
@Gruers good luck today, Mr Eggy is an old hand at angiograms, he finds them fascinating as they let him look at the screen! 😱
 
Morning all, 4.8 today. Alice off to 6th form today and last day of home lessons for her sister who starts back tomorrow. Not sure what I will do o with myself when they are back, although will hopefully be back at work some time before Christmas!
Happy Monday everyone

Well not 5.2 today but a 4.2.....

Enjoyed the F1 😎 for any other enjoyers of F1 and am already looking forward to next weekends from Mugello

I used to enjoy F1 back in the Senna days but I find it really dull these days. I’ll watch it happily if I stumble upon it but couldn’t tell you who’s champion right now - I’m guessing Hamilton - with any confidence.
I even went to Silverstone as a guest of Ferrari once. Helicopter up from London, full pass to all areas, no expense spared. The pits were interesting but the race itself was just loud.
One thing which has stayed with me though is the appreciation for the engineering behind the cars and the teams, they really are quite extraordinary machines.
 
And I start this week off with a 5.5

Off to the doc to have bloods drawn for my HbA1C. It’s been a while since the last one so I’m curious to see what the new figures are. They’re doing a whole panel so I’ll have lots of interesting figures to pour over next week when I get the results.
I’ll share them on the forum as I’m bound to need help deciphering them!

No work today so I plan a day of Netflix and low carb baking (assuming I can get the erythritol as the local health food shops all seem to be out of it) and very little else.

@Gruers hope everything goes swimmingly

Have a good day folks!

Just got to the surgery and of course I’ve forgotten the lab slips!

Oh you would if you had to, it's for me at least a continual learning curve and mistakes and mis-judgements are often made. See my post this morning for example.
 
I usually love my job, the range and diversity of it and by its very nature is very interesting but I have to say I’m fed up with it at the moment. I got in today to 30 tasks, 15 two week rules, 26 pieces of dictation on one installation and 6 on the new one, 2 tapes and my running file of queries not touched. That is besides what comes in during the day. One colleague has been off since 14th May and of the 3 of us left we have had illness, annual leave and compassionate leave. There is not one other person in a staff of over 60 that can do our job and the practice managers refuse to let us train up anyone else, I just don’t get it, I actually want to scream at them. I have already had a fall out with one of the practice managers but they just don’t seem to give a damn. We have a merger coming up with two other practices and they are under the false illusion that they will be able to help, I expect they are having the same conversations their end, what a joke.
Anyway a 7.9 for me today, eating is not very good lately, in fact for ages, I just don’t know what to eat anymore.
Ok chin up and move on.
Have a good day all x

Take care @SueEK your health comes first.
 
A 🙂 to encourage you @SueEK

Hope you feel better after letting off a bit of steam! It’s a bit ironic that a GP practice is pushing you SO hard: there are limits to how much you can tolerate; you’d think those in the health care profession would know that! 🙄 But, it seems practice managers are MUCH more about just plain old admin!o_O

Thanks, very sweet of you. I don’t get stressed at work just annoyed about the situation.
Did you have your angiogram today, if so how did it go?

You’re not wrong Lanny. They don’t have a scooby what we do, no pun intended haha. It’s just so frustrating that they won’t and don’t listen to us xx

It feels daunting at first but having been back with the children for 2 days, it feels like i've not been off! Have a good day x

Had a really good day. Almost like we’d never been away. Very confused of how to get back to my room (it has 2 doors at different ends) when I went out of the “wrong” door and tried the one way system. My lower set year 11 soon put me right with a lot of giggling - I love them they’re my favourites but don’t tell them 😉 Hand wash / keeping distance seemed a struggle for many grown ups though. Hope you’re day was good @freesia

I was just about to “like” Your comment until we got to guest of Ferrari....... how lucky was that?! I’ve been to silverstone a few times the noise and smell is amazing. Current champ / team are NOT my cup of tea as they make it somewhat boring generally speaking. Take them out and it’s not bad Unfortunately I’m a German Ferrari supporter currently. Who knows next season ! I loved the Senna /Prost / Hill / Schui (til he kept winning) era then of course the Vettle Years !
