How is your week going?

I'm over my cold from last week that stole my weekend from me, so I actually get to go do things. Bought new work boots today after something in my heel(s) finally said enough was enough and started hurting enough that it couldn't be ignored. All in all things are looking good.
On an unrelated note: any ideas on how to assist someone be more concise with their language politely?
I'm struggling to not get frustrated with the amount of preamble, staggering, and second guessing that happens on a regular basis for what should be simple conversational topics. It just takes so long to get to the point that I feel forced into a box that there's no polite way out of.

My cat woke me up meowing loudly at 6.30am so that she could go outside and sit and look inside the house. So pretty good so far.

It's my last ever Spring Break and I have been bedridden with COVID since Monday.
Not great.

I feel pretty good. I finally saw some visual progress in my transition and I went through all of my documents and sorted them and got rid of everything I don't need anymore.

We've had no heat at the beginning of the week, thankfully that got fixed today. Had to take a cold shower yesterday :-D And now the supply valve for the washing machine started leaking. So yeah, a bit stressful, but that's life. It could be worse.

I traveled for some volunteer work and caught the crud. It progressed into a double ear infection that's been awful. But! I'm finally starting to see the light on the other side. I can breathe through my nose again and have regained hearing in my left ear. Woo!

It's ok I'm having plastering doing so it's a bit stressful. The plasterers trainee has gone off with a bad back but the plasterer has said he can finish it Monday or Tuesday. I fucking hope he can!!! I told him in a friendly way he's not getting paid till the job is done and he's got rave reviews.
- I feel you! We're doing a whole house renovation and it's so stressful! I had a meltdown this week over wall texture. It's so stupid and seems like the smallest thing, but when you're paying for it you want it to be right
  
  Yep and you use your house every day!

Not really good if I'm being honest, too much work I guess. Would love to retire if someone wants to toss some money in my direction

Pretty good. My work week is almost done, and it's finally going to be warm enough tomorrow to get to the driving range and see how bad my golf swing is after four months of not swinging any clubs 😬
