Tl;dr: A light week this week.
For Monday 17th – Sunday 23rd August 2026.
At work:
- Catchment project: Facilitated and attended some meetings, focusing on the collaboration aspects at the moment, and started collating my thoughts on recommendations for the end of project report.
- Engagement coordination project: Site visit! Spent the day in Wrexham walking round the city centre and meeting people connected with the project.
Deliverables this week:
- Nothing specific, working on stuff in the background.
Development this week:
- Just a coaching session, reflecting on the year to date. Always useful. I’ve processed A Whole Lot, I’m now very ready for a bit of normality / stagnation / nothing much for a bit, thankyouplease.
At home:
- Only 1 pilates this week, I was away for work on Wednesday and it wasn’t my usual teacher on Friday so I stayed in bed!
- Was totally wiped out by the return drive to Wrexham in one day on either side of a site visit and a bunch of conversations. Took me a while to recover. Note to self, break up the day more in future, go up the night before. (I would have taken the train but with engineering works and bus replacements on one long leg of the journey, it would have added an hour to the journey each way, and much faffing. Hopefully, train next time.)
- Built a massive and elaborate cat tower. Did lots of DIY, helped my friend paint her uPVC windows, painted 2 walls in my lounge (1 coat so far). Doing stuff with my hands helps ground me again when I’m dysregulated from all the driving and peopleing.
