Day 55 - Chemistry booklet finished!

I really needed to get my Leaving Cert Chemistry revision booklet completed today. I had hoped to finish it over the bank holiday weekend, but other things got in the way (including a bit of a meltdown on certain days!) so I still had five chapters to complete today. I’m under time pressure, because there’s talk of cancelling the Leaving Cert and I won’t be able to sell as many (or any!) booklets once that’s announced!

I’ve also decided to start eating healthily from now on! I can’t get over the amount of junk food I’ve been putting in my online shopping, and I’d like to change that. Today got off to a good start with some yoghurt and fruit.

I worked solidly on the chemistry booklet until lunchtime. With it pretty much finished by then, I next worked on the website for it for a while and then put the finishing touches to the cover of the booklet etc.

I went out for a thirty minute run along the Blarney Road at about 6pm. It’s so cold outside - it’s like autumn has come back. We even had the heating on today! I keep hearing about all the amazing weather that they’re having up in Dublin, but we don’t seem to be getting any of it here. Just lots of rain this week!

At 9pm, we had our weekly Sheehan quiz. Paul was the host and Suzanne was able to join us from Australia this time! At one point during the quiz, me, Fiona and Anna were making secret faces and actions at each other on camera. We were trying to communicate to each other without anyone noticing, but we got too confident with our actions and Emmet noticed us. I laughed about the whole thing more than I’ve laughed in a good while! Oh and I almost won the quiz, except that Mum and Anna beat me in a tiebreaker where I couldn’t remember the name of one of the American doctors that is coordinating their response to coronavirus!

I felt great after this family meet up and a bit of a laugh. There’s lots of nice things about this lockdown too.Lue lisää
