Wednesday 23rd March 2022

Today is the first day in about a month where on a weekday I don’t have any appointments/meetings and it felt a bit strange if I’m honest. I got up at my usual time as if I was going to the gym, fed Sophiecat, made some coffee and cracked on with client work from about 5.45am.

Two years ago today was the first day of lockdown here in the UK, I don’t remember today necessarily but I do remember the night before hearing the Prime Minister tells us to stay at home and being upset at the realness of it all and thinking it will only last for a few weeks.

Over the last two years so much has changed, yet so much is still the same. It all feels a bit of a blur but overall for me I got through it pretty unscathed. I’m pretty self-reliant and have been for a very long time and perhaps as much as it is a strength is it also a hindrance, it’s been quite hard for to me ask for help recently especially around my health with my background and knowledge, but glad I have finally reached out and spoken to friends for support.

I started taking the herbs today, finally spoke to someone at my doctor’s, not that they were that helpful really but at least it’s now logged that I’ve had an issue with my knee so if it continues any longer than a month I can go back for another opinion.

With my knee being sore and a bit limited on what I can do, I ordered a weight bench so that I can do more workouts sat down and without putting too much pressure on my knee, I’ve managed to assemble it and will give it a proper go tomorrow when I attempt a workout using the dumbbell and kettlebell I’ve got.
