Day 49 - Thursday 7th May
I managed to get a better night's sleep but am still feeling lethargic today.
Today's tabloid headlines are shockingly focused on the possibility of the lockdown being loosened on Monday, predicting that people will be allowed to meet and socialise in open spaces. There's no mention of the UK having reached the #2 position for worldwide deaths yesterday. With a bank holiday tomorrow and good weather forecast this feels like carte blanche for people to flock to open spaces and create a second peak.
This morning I focus on job applications and I'm encouraged to receive an email back from a local company I had applied to last week. I was over-qualified for the vacancy they were advertising but I submitted an application and used my covering letter to explain that I'd welcome the opportunity to talk to them about other roles. We arrange a phone call for next week. I have booked a series of sessions with a professional coach to help me manage my pro-bono responsibilities without them eroding my billable time, and the first one is late this afternoon. Mid-way through preparing dinner our online shop arrives - pretty much in its entirety, which is good. I realise that I completely forgot about yoga this evening.
After dinner hubby and I watch a documentary about primates narrated by Chris Packham, for whom I am grateful.
