If "Me Review" was closer to the top instead of buried somewhere in the middle, I might not mind it so much.

Thanks guys. The intention is to look in a radius of where my job is. So Bristol, Bath and anywhere in between. Still have the cat, she's adjusted to being an indoor cat pretty well.The Queue has been crazy here in London. I watched the main funeral earlier but it went on a bit lol I watched it at a friends and then we had lunch and played board games which was nice.
I had my 3 month evaluation at work this week and it went very well. Still have 3 months of probationary period left. Doing lots of training this month which has thrown things out a bit so it's been a stressful week and i feel a bit behind but should iron itself out once the training is done. I've also had more hypno clients than I'd planned to see so need to balance things out a bit so I'm not overdoing it.
I was watching a bit of the procession to Windsor Castle. There was a long boat moored along the river close to Windsor. Of course, I immediately thought of you. Did you ever take your boat along that way?
No I didn't unfortunately. I always wanted to. I did go on the river thames but turned the other way at Reading. My parents live in Maidenhead, not far from Windsor and always wanted to go through the town and up past Windsor castle. Might have to hire one at some point.
It looked beautiful and serene.
It has been a nice 3 day week. On Saturday, I'm going on a bristol historic boat drawing and painting course. I haven't done much art this past 18 months and hoping this will jump start me ready for inktober next month. Would be good to get back into it. Feels like I stopped doing everything these past 18 months.
I presume inktober is a month of painting challenges?
There is a prompt each day and you're supposed to draw using ink of some kind. I did it a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. My dad usually joins in too.
Hope all our people based Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia stay safe with the hurricane coming through! Not sure if we have many people on the East coast of Canada either, but hope all is well there after your massive storm as well.
Happy October, Christine! It seems like September went so fast, but I said that about the summer this year too.

lol, I know!
I was thinking today that it's only 2 months left until the year is over. I mean, where did it go?
Yes, every year just seems to go faster and faster. I'm afraid to blink at this point!
It's true. 2022 went fast but these last weeks it seemed to have sped up even more. :(
Happy birthday to him, Christine!
Happy birthday to your dad, Christine!
I have covid! I have done so well avoiding it all this time. I started getting symptoms on Monday and thought it was just a cold. Tested positive this morning. Chest is not great. Hopefully it won't get any worse.
I hope you will get better soon and it will only be minor symptoms. Take care!
I hope it was smoothly for you, Sarah. Take care!
Oh no! Fingers crossed Sarah. Wishing you a very speedy recovery and a mild case!!
Oh man... I've had it twice, Sarah. So sorry you've gotten it. Hope it is mild and you feel better quickly.
Wishing you a full and speedy recovery Sarah.
Thanks guys. I'm feeling about the same today. Well, I have a stonking headache but that can be fixed when the tesco delivery man arrives soon with paracetamol. Hopefully I'll be testing negative again by my birthday otherwise that will suck.
I am very glad to not be on the boat with it though that is for sure!
Sorry to hear you got covid, Sarah. Hope it's a mild case and you start feeling better soon.
I hope you feel better quickly, Sarah, and that your asthma doesn't complicate things. Please keep up posted.
Thanks guys. I'm on the tail end of it now. Had to go to the out of hours doctors at the weekend as my asthma flared but on the mend now. Still knackered and congested and testing positive. My 10 days is up on Saturday so I'll return to normal life then, although I can't return to work physically until I test negative. I went back to work yesterday, working from home. Possibly a little ambitious there as it has wiped me out. Hopefully I'll be feeling less knackered next week. It's my birthday on Sunday so wanted to be clear so that I could do something, although of course it will need to be reasonably low key.
Oh Sarah, I don’t think that you can get a negative for up to 3 months after having Covid. We were told that it was just a matter of being symptom free for the designated period of time at the end of the illness. Glad that you are starting to turn the corner 🥰

Depends on tests, and your specifics of course.
Hope all goes well, Sarah, and you heal up fast for at least something low key on the weekend. Happy birthday!
Sarah, i hope you get that energy back and get to celerate.
Am I the only one that are not yet permanently on the new GR book page? The site alternates between the old and the new pages, switching about every ten days or so. And every time I get 2 days of pops up after the change. At this point I would welcome any page as long as this stops.
My book pages just finally switched over. I've been on the old page the entire time until a day or two ago! It's so strange to click on a book link and have it go to such a different looking page. It's like a whole different site.
My book page switched back to the old format about a week ago.
Same here. I had the new formar for months, but switched back to the oldest one at some point.
I never saw the new page until about 2 months ago when I had to look at something at work not logged in. But my personal goodreads switched over last night. I couldn't find a thing.
Happy birthday, Sarah! I hope you are feeling better.
Happy birthday, Sarah! I hope you are feeling better
Thanks guys!I had a lovely birthday. Wandered around Bath, had some lovely tapas and played board games at the board game cafe I go to. But it totally wiped me out. I'm testing negative now so can go back to normality. Well, sort of. I've actually been feeling really awful since my birthday. Had some rubbish side effects from the steroids I took which compounded the covid fatigue so I've been off work this week even though I'm testing negative. Hopefully I'll be ok next week.
I hope you feel better and more alert, Sarah. Fatigue, no matter the cause, is difficult to cope with.I'm glad your birthday was good.
