Diary
Mar 8, 2024
I got up and was at the desk around 7:35 or so. I started the day by installing updates and, my god apple. It took half an hour of not being able to use the computer. In what world is that acceptable? Anyway.. I was then back at work. I had a meeting with Martin at 8:30 so I had a quick breakfast. The meeting was quick. so I was able to make tea and things before the normal morning meeting. After that Jemma and I met and sized the remaining ticket in our epic. From there it was code reviews for me, and wrapping up things. I had lunch alone as Jessica was out. I went for a quick walk. Back home again it was demo/planning meeting. It went well. After that I wrapped up my day pretty much. We had afternoon tea. After fika I walked down to the village and got stuff. Back home I drove and picked up Evie. We came home and had dinner. After dinner we moved some furniture before having normal evening routine. In the early evening we had a small earth quake.

I did not sleep super well, so it was hard to get up. I was at the desk around 7.40 or so. I started my day. I had breakfast and then it was usual routine. I had morning tea. After tea I did reviews, in fact I did reviews most of the day. I had a quick lunch with Jessica and we then drove down to Penrith to see the diabetes educators. It was good, I guess. I was home again by 14:20. I did work while out and waiting though. I returned to work. I forgot I had to go and get Frida so by 15.20 I ran full speed down the hill to pick up a lonely girl. We came home and had afternoon tea. After fika I returned to work for another 40 min or so. Clocking up some 7h50m of work all up. After that I cleaned the kitchen and then sat down for a bit of a break. We had dinner and then normal routine until bed.

I got up and was on the 6:45 train into the city. It went on time and smoothly. At the office I had breakfast and then it was full on day for me. I met with Jemma, in person and helped fix her compile times. We had standup, I met with Jemma for a 1:1, we went for a walk and a coffee. I had some time on my own task. I then went for a walk with Ali which was good. I came back and it was soon lunch time. After lunch we caught a bus to Neutral Bay, it was not excellent to be on a bus with recent nausea but it went ok. In Neutral Bay we went and had a Chinese tea ceremony. It was nice, Chinese tea is not really my type of tea but it was still nice. Good to try lots of different teas. We came back to the office for an hour or so of work. I left the office after 8h of work. I was on the 16.31 train home. On the train I just played OpenTTD and also did minimal work on my phone. At home it was dinner and then normal evening routine.

I slept poorly and woke up early. I got up and was at my desk around 7.35 or so. I had a full day ahead of me. I did reviews etc. We got the girls up and away for school. I had two meetings in the morning. I then had pretty much the entire day free. I had brief chat to Jemma at some point I think. I had lunch with Jessica and we went for a walk. Back home again I did work and then had my 1:1 with Sam before returning to work. I worked away until about three thirty having done eight hours of work. I made a quick tea and then at four walked down to pick up Frida from school (she had music after school today). We walked home and I soon returned to work for a meeting which took another half hour or so taking my day total to 8h30m. I came out and we had dinner. After dinner I had a quick shower before walking down to school, again, and attended the PnC AGM. That went well, it took to nine sharp and I walked home again for a cup of tea and then normal evening routine.

I got up and was at my desk around 7.30 which was good. We started the day. The kids left and then at 9 I was picked up by Bryan and Jane and we drove to Nado and then Penrith for an appointment for me. I arrive and they were confused over why I was there. Not great, so they didn't have me in for today. I got picked up and came home again (I did some work while waiting for Bryan to come and get me). At home it was back to work. I did reviews and I also met with Jemma for a bit. I had lunch with Jessica and we went for a quick walk. I was back at my desk around 12:50 for my 13:00 meeting and then my 13:30. I met with Martin briefly before my day ended. I wrapped up after 8h (-1.5 for the appointment bungle). We had afternoon tea. After fika I went for a quick walk and then went and got Evie. At home I quickly emptied the dishwasher, filled it, took compost out. Naomi arrived at about five thirty and we sat and spoke until about six or seven. We had not seen each other for so long, it was good to see her again. We had a quick dinner and then normal, if shorter, evening routine.

We got up around 8 today and shortly after 9 we drove to Penrith to go to Bunnings. We bought stuff that we needed, had morning tea and then came home again. Jessica went over to granny to talk to them about tomorrow while I did stuff at home. We had lunch. After lunch I went outside and mowed the naturestrip, whippersnipped the edges and mowed some of the yard. I came in and we had afternoon tea. After fika I we did the usual things. I may have done some more mowing. Jessica went out and got some stuff for diner. I showered and then peeled potatoes. We had dinner and then normal evening routine. I was mostly better, but still not quite.

We slept well during the night. I gt up around 8.30. After breakfast and morning tea we finished the cupboard on the deck. We came in and had lunch. After lunch we did some more chores around the house and garden. Frida and I baked a cake. We had fresh cake for fika. After fika I did some kitchen cleaning. We made dinner and then I spoke to farmor and farfar as usual for Saturday. After that it was normal evening routine. I was much better today, but still not good, a bit lingering headache and general unwellness.
Mar 1, 2024
I woke up feeling fine. I was fasting as I had a blood test to do. I did some work in the morning. We went and I got to the pathology shortly after 8. I did not have a super long wait. I fainted during the blood test and felt crap after that. I had a lie down on their bed and then went and sat just inside the doors waiting for Jessica. She arrived shortly after 9 having dropped off Frida. I felt quite nauseous so took the seat all the way back and then had the AC on for a bit while Jessica got bread and milk. I straightened the seat and felt nausea again. I threw up everything I had, and tried to throw up more. We drove home, luckily just a short drive. At home I laid down. I think I slept on and off the whole day, I didn't do much at all. I had a slice of bread for lunch which made me feel better. I took a covid test (which was negative), and continued to lie down. In the mid afternoon I got up and watched most of an episode of Voyager until the kids came home. We had afternoon tea. After fika I finished the episode of Voyager. I still felt unwell. I had dinner and then had a lie down in bed again, listening to my audio book. I came out for story time and normal evening routine.

I slept poorly so it was hard to get up. I was at the desk around 8. I started my day. We got the girls up and ready for school. I had morning meeting, followed by a second meeting which was quick. After that I was working on my own thing. I paired with Jemma for a little bit right before lunch. During lunch Jessica and I drove to the "tip" to drop off some recycling. We came home and I returned to work. I met with Josh for a bit and then spent the afternoon working on my own thing. I paused work at three went for a walk while Jessica picked up the kids. It was quite warm outside. I came home at the same time as Jessica and the girls and we had afternoon tea. After fika I ventured out again this time down to the shops. I came back and drove to pick up Evie from a friend. We came home and I sat down briefly before having dinner. After dinner I showered and then had a meeting with the Emea support team. It took my work way to 8h30m. From there it was usual evening routine until bed.

I got up and was on the 6.45 train to the city. It ran on time. At the office it was a fairly normal day actually. Morning meeting and then i spent the day both reviewing code and today I actually had time to work on my own thing. I had lunch with the team and then went out and bought tea. I came back to my desk for the afternoon stint. I wrapped up at about 4 having done 8h of work. Ben had made some mead so we had some of that before I went to the train. I was on the 17.17 train home. I only played games on the way home. At home it was dinner and normal evening routine until bed.
