Self
Really didn’t feel like running this morning so I left it til the afternoon. Ash had to give me motivation and I downed a coffee, laid down for a five minute rest to let the coffee intergrate, and then went on the run. Felt better than I expected (which happens about every time, honestly) and I ran about 3.7 miles in 30 minutes. Just about at the end of the one month 5k training plan I picked out. It was also beautiful when I was running; sun setting, blue clear sky and autumn leaves under my trainers.
Palpitations were still noticable today. Once again thought I might go to the A&E but held off. Going to monitor them over the weekend.
Went to Neal’s Yard and bought some slippery elm bark for my dry throat. Every morning I have been reading my DIY natural home book Britt gave me while drinking my lemon water. I’m getting a lot of ideas for things I would like to incorporate, especially with dried herbs/barks/etc.
Bought a cinema city membership and feel really good about it! It gives me free tea and coffee before 5pm on weekdays so I know where I’ll be spending a load of my time… after I got back from coworking with Jade I had a burst of energy to rearrange my entire room. Then sleep.
School
Went to scan pages in of inspiration from books at the Norwich Uni library & lucky me, I sat across from the Design and Society section. Found a ton of books that I want to check out BUT first I have to finish the ones I have and the ones I previously bought in London and Bath!
Moved my desk to the sunny window and got to work for a bit before making a delish lunch and going on my run.
Social
Jasmine invited me along to one of Sarah’s tours at the Cathedral. It was marvelous! Sarah was able to tailor is to Jasmine so she could feel things. The coolest thing by far was that there’s graffiti where people etched their names, lines of music, drawings, etc. into the walls from as early as 1500’s. They also had 3 new stain glass windows made in 2014, which are a hit or miss for people, but I really enjoyed their abstract nature.
Decided to check out Cinema city per Jas’s rec and it was so lovely. The space, the music, massive ceilings and cosy alcoves. Jade met me there to work and while we partially work, we also shit talked storehouse and how it’s being run. Jade told me that they actually considered not letting me on the magazine because they thought I would clash with Jade as design director and I would have too much (??) experience. Lollllll. We are both frustrated at how the leaders seem to only be doing it to say they did it, not to actually produce a cool publication. Meh.
