I went to work and sat in splendid isolation for an hour until Kathy came in. As hard as I tried today, I couldn't get the emails down to an acceptable level, and Nicola kept asking me to check Bob, who was going rogue and offering things to new members that weren't part of his training! He was supposed to have made things easier for us! Nicola didn't have Sara or Sheila to jump on today, so it was my turn!
I left work at 4pm and went home to see how Sophie was after a day of resting. She had hoovered for me and made the porridges, but wasn't sure whether she was going to work tomorrow or not. We were all a bit glum tonight. My Mum called me as I walked through the door and sounded depressed, saying she missed both Dad and me, and we found out today who is taking over the contracts for three of our centres next April. The tiny bit of hope that all the operators had pulled out and we could remain was now quashed, and it seemed so final.
To cheer myself up, I drank three of my whiskies and made notes while munching on crackers. They are only 30ml measures, and it was lovely to sip them slowly and appreciate the different aromas. Sophie had made supper tonight, vegetable soup with added shredded chicken. Unfortunately, I found two gristly bits of chicken in my soup, which put me off, so I only had a few spoonfuls... not the most successful of meals!
Keith and I watched Only Connect and University Challenge after dinner, and the questions were so hard in UC that I gave up!
