Everyone, today I was SO productive! Yay to me! I think the fact that I did nothing yesterday gave me a bit of a jump start today. ALSO, Zac is ill! He has the Flu (Man-Flu) and I know what you’re thinking, nooo it’s not the Coronavirus. At one point we did think it was malaria as we got eaten alive in Thailand, but, as the qualified doctor Google is, we diagnosed him with the Flu… So he’s been in bed all day and I’ve been feeding him Lemsip which meant I had the day to entertain myself.
First thing I’m going to mention is: Zac has also started a blog, because I am that much of an inspiration… Not really, he is also bored and wants to talk about his own experience, it is very close to mine but what do you expect when we live in the same house and do the same things everyday. However, he takes more of a factual approach, and I talk about anything that comes into my head… You’re welcome. My suggestion is, you definitely follow my blog, and also check out his (if you’re interested).
So, the first productive thing I did was oven cook a beef brisket. OMG. I got up and I started cooking this brisket 6 hours in advance for it to be ready for dinner… I have now passed all house-wife requirements. I was so impressed with myself, I bought my oven for £20 and I don’t want to brag but it was amazeballs! Of course, served it up for dinner with a little bit of mash and vegetables on the side with some homemade gravy and I am a teacher no more, I am now a chef.
While this 6 hour beef was cooking, I actually did my workout that I said I was going to do in yesterday’s post! I felt so much better for it, and looked like I needed a snickers, so I rewarded myself with a snickers!
Since Zac was in bed and the dogs were asleep after a couple of long walks, I did something that my mum thought I was never capable of while growing up. BUT! how wrong was she. I cleaned the house! Did some floor sweeping, dish-washing, clothes-washing and tidied the rooms.
Just imagine… the house is tidy, the dogs are asleep, dinner is being sorted and I’ve done a workout. Jeezuz, no wonder why he proposed to me! I am so humble. I also sound like a middle-aged woman. This is what it has come to!
For anyone that’s proud of me, I’m proud of myself. However, also crying inside as that is the most mundane thing I will ever write. In regards to the Coronavirus, our accommodation security are now wearing rain ponchos to protect their uniform from catching the virus… Hazmat suits, fine. But rain ponchos!? Temperature tests, masks, gloves, eye goggles, banning dogs, disinfected elevators and rain ponchos… At the moment it doesn’t look like this China shutdown thing is going to finish anytime soon. Unfortunately, this does mean that Zac will have to stay inside until he has completely recovered as we get texts through saying that they will take us into quarantine if our temperature is over 37’C and we’re not taking that risk.
In other news, I had my online class groups come through today which means I can share some content of the classes with you, how exciting! I’m going to have to make these as attractive as possible to stay sane because this could go on for a while!
Here’s a picture of the family!
