Not at all a morning person, I reluctantly lunge one leg from my bed and release an annoyed sigh. Today was supposed to be a wake-up-at-noon kinda day. Heading to the kitchen, I brew my first cuppa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>09:00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should know better than to open my work laptop \u2013 I find myself trawling through emails, while snacking on some crackers and leftover cheese from yesterday\u2019s luncheon. I do a little bit of work before my second \u2013 and last \u2013 cuppa for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11:45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I make myself a darn mocktail. Crushed mint leaves, lime cordial, lots of ice and some soda water. Grrrrrrrr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wontons for this workaholic, along with some spicy sushi on this here Sunday. My thoughts are racing to the line-up for this coming week. I diligently make a list of things to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I need to save the excel sheet to the relevant folder and clean up the old one<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Follow up with xxx on my request for xxx<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Book a moving truck (gosh, I\u2019m moving\u2026 again)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pack the last couple of things<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15:00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea and a scone on the stoep. My neighbour is working in the little garden \u2013 I always love watching them pay so much attention to the plants and produce (<em>Is it weird that I like watching them?)<\/em> I pick some tomatoes and chillies from the garden for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snack. Tuna on crackers \u2013 with the tomatoes and chillies I had picked earlier. Glass of water because\u2026 lockdown, because\u2026 alcohol ban, because\u2026 I honestly need to get in the habit of a healthier lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17:30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not really hungry, so opt out of having supper. Green tea instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>18:00<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix and chill \u2013 until sleep comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sundays are made for lazing around, and eating great food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1994,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1993"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2003,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1993\/revisions\/2003"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
