Day 10 isolation

So just like that 10 days have gone past.

Most of the time gets taken up by work. I’m full time on a really big project and the day is filled with meetings, mails, spreadsheets and calls. I’m very grateful to have work and to be busy and productive each day.

Each day I have also managed to achieve my

And studying

I also get to chat to my family and get window visits. I even got some sun on my face today. 

The family here supplies me with boiling water, 3 great meals a day, snacks and smiles. I have Netflix and the internet, I pretty much have everything I need. I haven’t even had time to read or listen to a book or get around to sorting photos.

My joy jar is getting full, there are so many things to be grateful for and so many wonderful people in my life.

To those that said they wouldn’t cope with this, I completely disagree.

Think about it, I’m so blessed. I’m thinking of extending my isolation period, well, maybe once I’ve had some sun and a swim in my pool 😜

Day 7 isolation

Well today is the halfway mark.

It’s Kayleigh’s birthday and we had a Houseparty chat with most of the Dawsonbunch. That was great! It was lovely having everyone together.

Cleanup time and moved my bed to the centre of the room to make an easier walking track. Exercise is very important to me so I make time for it.

Lunch was served and then assignment time. I worked until 5 and then relaxed did some exercise.

I decided to eat dinner on my improvised yoga mat 😀 and then watched series until bedtime.

Day 5 isolation

Today was a really busy work day. I had 9 meetings so that pretty much took up the whole day.

Got awful news that my work hero passed away today. Craig was my manager for many years and the absolute best boss around. He taught me a lot about people and how to deal with work politics. He always called me Tash and gave me the opportunity to start the Testing Services department with him. So sad to hear and glad I kept in contact with him. A true gentleman.

Getting my steps done was a challenge and I’m glad Discovery have reduced the points for everyone from tomorrow. I’m sleeping well. Yesterday according to my Pillow app, I slept for 8 hours at 80%.

Appreciating the beauty around me and so grateful for my family.

As part of a 21 day abundance session I am doing, today’s task was to write down 50 names of people alive or dead who have influenced your life and spend some time thinking about them. That was such an easy and lovely exercise, I stopped at about 60 names and Craig was certainly one of the names on the list. I got a call from today Linda and that was great. It is my friend Megan’s birthday so that was special and a call from John in Spain. All people on my list. I’m sure you appeared on it too.

It’s strange not to hear any planes flying around.

A glass of wine and some binge watching to round off Friday.

Day 4 self isolation

Work day was longer than usual today so I didn’t exercise.

Today I took a suntanning break for a few minutes when the sun came through the bathroom window.

I managed to order some groceries at Checkers online and they have been fantastic. They called to confirm delivery and arrived at 7pm, unpacked at the gate and then got back in their vehicle and waited while Kiara brought the goods inside. She sanitized and unpacked. A big shout out to Checkers for this service.

No Facebook during the day and I don’t switch my tv on until much later in the evening and am appreciating that break to just relax, have 1 glass of wine and not worry. I liked the advice that Elan from Sleekgeek suggested earlier this month - only one hour allocated to worrying or else it gets overwhelming.

Getting home from Russia

I was very happy to be safely back on South African soil on Sunday morning.  I decided I would self isolate for 14 days. Got home and went straight into my room through the side entrance of the house. The kids had made my room so perfect. They cleaned it and made it my haven for the next 14 days.

Kiara moved a small fridge into the room, fresh milk, juice, overnight oats in jars. Candles and a lighter, cutlery and crockery, a big snack box filled with goodies, my favourite mug, books including one called ‘Behind closed doors’ which a Kiara thought was very funny!

Food is delivered to outside my door and once they have walked away I open to collect.

My brother made a whole lot of delicious food while I was away and that’s been wonderful. Nanna makes me lunch everyday too, so Im very well looked after.

I had an assignment to do for Unisa so got stuck in and
