Bad morning

Sleep broke before the alarm at 5.45. Felt still mentally and physically drained.

It’s already 8.45. I start work – after walk and breakfast – at 8.15. I haven’t even started making breakfast yet.

Croissant in the airfryer. Eggs frying on the stove. (Another) fresh coffee brewing.

Breakfast was good. Head’s settling down. Coffee is good. The boy is sleeping. House is warm. Code in front of me.

This day might still turn around.

Mowed both the lawns. Spent as much time cleaning the mud and grass collecting around the blades, as doing the actual mowing. Had planned 40 mins. Took 1 hour 40 🙁

Now, sitting with my treat – a glass of cold, full fat milk, and a Madeleine.
