Morning Stories: One of those days

work days, dream scenario and other people

I have to go to work today, as in get on the bike, cycle for 18 kilometres and then spend 4 hours in the library. So today I woke up with a trillion thoughts on what I could do to make sure that I don’t have to leave my house for work. Working from home is my dream scenario. I’m simply not as good as I used to be in being surrounded by people. I actually never was very good at that, but I was better in pretending that it didn’t matter or that I even enjoyed it. But living through the pandemic and all the lockdowns made me realise that I’m much better when being around other people is limited to those few I actually want to see.

I work all Sundays this month and have one other in person meeting at work this week. And I know, that it’s good for me to get out of the house sometimes, especially that I try to cycle everywhere, but I would prefer to go out to do some errands than to be somewhere with other people for half a day and not be able to leave whenever I want to.

I definitely would prefer to spend this day in the garden, reading, especially that the weather is a little bit cooler today and it would be perfect for it, but well, I guess we all have to do things we don’t enjoy, so I’ll go get my breakfast now and get slowly ready for the day.

How’s your Sunday?
