Two relatively little jobs. I estimated an hour for each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first job took two and a half hours. It was fiddly but easy. I could have got it done inside 25 minutes if I had an extra pair of hands. It was operating solo and doing stuff where I couldn&#8217;t see my hands that made things difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as a result of this we have a nice, new dogflap, and the old one is in the bin. So yay to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second job took exactly 55 minutes but it broke me. On my back, working upwards above my head in a cramped, confined space, my body twisted at an awkward angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is replacing a toilet seat so difficult?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, with everything else going on in these parts, that&#8217;s today&#8217;s rundown. And I&#8217;ve only had calls from two agencies asking if I&#8217;d be interested in contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m counting today as the first full day of not working since I erm, stopped working. It was half-term last week, so that didn&#8217;t count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;ve crossed off a couple of jobs from my list, walked the dogs twice (so far), driven to the next village on a Very Important Errand, and watched the final episode of The Expanse. And what a stunning conclusion to a sweeping epic that was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"318\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/The-Expanse.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/The-Expanse.jpg 318w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/The-Expanse-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today has been a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I set myself two jobs today.
