dear diary,

i have a notice every week about how to keep well, how to be in good mental and physical health and how to achieve my goals. Also how to avoid pitfalls.

One of the things That is mentioned is to ask for help when needed.

I ask myself: how do I ask for help? Recently at work I asked for help and I received some specialised equipment for my visual impairment. I'/m having a tough time of it and I wonder how else I can ask for help or look after myself.

I think that my new routine of cycling helps.

Oh in case I didn't mention, I bought a brompton and I've been cycling almost every day for the past month. I'm getting up to 9 miles and on saturdays I do 20 miles at least with my friends. 

I'm having some challenging times at work. I need to remember why I'm doing it and remember what its all about.

Three things I'm positive about:

1. Supportive people at work
2. My bike and new hobby of cycling
3. My friends

Things I'm positive about in the future:

1. Enjoying Joe Rogan
2. Enjoying UFC
3. Enjoying podcasts
4. Cycling
5. Gym opening up
6. Keeping a job
7. Getting fitter

Things to improve on:

• social skills
• cycling fitness
• my organisation (life admin)
• my organisation (work)
• my eating
• My sleeping
• Avoidance

Things I've done at work today

I got up at 9am. I woke up 'late' considering I wanted to get up for 6am. I feel like the phrase 'aim for the stars, arrive at the moon' comes to mind.

I think Today is a cigar day. Maybe if I finish by 6: 30 pm I'll go for a bike ride.

plan for next week:

Wednesday: meeting with big deal organisation to develop training package at work

Thursday: 2 meetings 

Friday: expect bike helmet by now

Saturday: Bike ride?

Sunday: Recovery and admin

dear diary,

perhaps I'll try to take stock of this week.

I've not been too well today and yesterday, but the first half of the week was alright.

I got up late today and I figured to myself if I just sit up the rest of the day would go well. Shall I summarise my week? On Monday I attempted to pump my bike tyre, I think that did more harm than good. On tuesday I seemed to have caught up on my admin from the previous weekend. On Wednesday I walked by the high street and I witnessed a black lives matter protest. On Thursday my under armour trousers, which I love, split. I guess it was nearly 3-4 years old. They were well loved. On Friday I ate a lot. I did a lot for pride at work. On Saturday I went on a big old bike ride. I'm really into cycling these days. I went through the Thames and it was beautiful. Today I'm stil recovering from my cycling. 

That's the high level summary. I'm feeling quite drowsy today and I just hope to make it to the end of the day and have some things done.

i woke up late today but here's what I've done at work sofar.

• Sorting out FTC contract query
• set up upcoming payment 
• set up a recent payment
• housekeeping/email catch up etc
• sorting out latest holiday records (3)
• Chasing up with onboarding issues for returning casual
• P2P sorting 
• More holiday cover sorting -- adapting to some changes
• Sorting out 3 month old payment

Also: fried rice lunch, and a slice of bacon
