Caught up with big boss too about the project and got to explain a few things.  I've understood more than I thought I had.

Have the evening to relax and work on cross stitch and listening to a book

Relaxing

Team meeting was a laugh, & maybe we'll go to the Christmas party

The conversation circle was interesting.  We had a nice group

Staying for that meant I didn't have to talk about the awful meeting beforehand that thankfully I survived

A couple of people closed reviews on my document and I got a bit further with my next one

Have plans to close out another action with a team mate on Friday.  Lunch should be good that day

Got straight through to doctor's and have an appointment for this week.  

Home in time for ball class which was great fun.  Teacher saw my extension to the exercise and included it, she's done that a few times.

Class finished early and I'm back to enjoying my book

Smart

Managed to figure out the thing I couldn't do on Friday, also fixed something else that was broken

Got all the urgent stuff out the way and can take my time figuring everything else out

When team mate rang, I instantly knew the answer and had pre-empted the situation.  Ha.  Feeling smart

Had a laugh with team mates in the office 

Did a good long day today so I have hours banked for later in the week

Team mate may come to games night.

Husband's friend has suggested coming over for a meal and husband has booked it for us

He got his hospital letter and it's at a more reasonable time - maybe friend will be free to have a day out, or at least a little trip somewhere.  Otherwise I'm fine to go somewhere myself.

Relaxing

Enjoyed my walk at the woods, a slow wander and plenty of admiring and photos.  

Came back with a new idea for a short story 

Conversations with friends. 

The new games arrived 

Have sleeved the new games & played the first one a couple of times with husband.  They look like they'll be fun with more players (& play up to 8 so can do bigger sessions). 

Took the glass to the bottle bank, is good to have it gone.

Social

Managed to get myself showered and dressed and to the woods on time.  Every time is a win.

It was dry for the walk, & we all enjoyed the woods esp. my favourite part.  And the chat was enjoyable.

Stayed on for a cuppa after (which we've never done before) and we were lucky to get a covered table outside.  Managed to leave in a break in the rain.

Husband showed me the pre-work for the training.  I got to sit on the sofa and watch it on the TV, & we got to chat about it.

Enjoying the new library book, thankful to have access to the library, & books I would never have considered otherwise.  It's easy to take a chance on something without feeling wasteful and sometimes it works out.

Getting a lift to the walk next week 🥰

One of the others is organising a meet, looking forward to meeting the group & getting more involved.

Pleased with myself for the replies I've been crafting.

Love my life.  So much to be thankful for.

Friends

Thankful for friend's pilates classes, that she still does them online and that I have the physical space for them

That husband took his laptop into the other room so I could have the lounge for it

And that he sorted out the portable battery and plugged my phone in so my phone lasted the whole session

He got the things I requested from tesco

For being able to finish work early so I can make the classes, & other appointments, without it ever being an issue

Pleased with myself over some work I've done - fixing up a calculation report 

Had a laugh with office mates, am in a good group

Workmate agreed to sign up to one for husband's sessions with me.

Had a laugh with a mate, 

The parcel I sent arrived, am impressed it was so quick, & that I actually got round to posting it

Posting in the organiser chat sparked new conversations 

Had some ideas for friend who wants to cook something other than curry dinner for us,

Energy

Thankful for a late start, & being able to take my time.

Enjoyed my catch up with the boss, he's noticed I've been on good form recently.

Intercepted a friend before she solidified a mistake, glad to have had time for her just before my early finish.

Also had a good chat with her beforehand while waiting for a meeting to start

Counselling was interesting

A document I was waiting for is completed & I can get on with implementation - & coincides nicely with me being in work tomorrow to speak with the appropriate people.

Have plenty enough work to get on without being overloaded

Got my event posted, & all the gang have responded

College was cancelled so I got to enjoy the game I'd set up

Get routinely invited for a fresh air break with office mates now

Treats

Got up and away in good time

Tyre sensor is behaving since the resest

Traffic wasn't that bad and we arrived early while parking was easy

Enjoyed breakfast in one of the cafes and had a wander

Friend liked the photos I took for her

Was only a few miles from shops we would never otherwise visit - treated ourselves

Thankful we have the money for treats, and for days out (& parking)

Relaxing afternoon of cross stitching 

Friend is accepting I might only eat bread and not to go to much effort trying to find something I'll like

Another audiobook is ready for me, listened to a decent chunk of the current one today - living the noise cancelling headphones, not idea how I managed without them for so long

Finally got to try the fried potatoes.  Nice but not nice enough for sacrifice the crispy chicken stir fry for

Things working out

Being able to take a long lunch & get chores done

Finally dropped off the toiletries, there was parking right outside, & I got across to the post office.

Reset the pressure sensor & the car got looked at instantly & passed.

Treated myself to a walk at the woods, & it was great, & the weather stayed dry

Managed to get my tablets, & the visit pushed me into going back to the doc which is probably overdue

Got fuel, & managed to apply my discount.  Am as ready as can be for Wed.

Fit everything into the time that I said it'd take.

Have figured out what broke my projects, so can probably make progress on my calculations now.

Glad I checked the permissions docs & got them fixed.

Relaxing

Enjoyed the walk

It was dry while we were there

Just had one hot chocolate and then a peppermint tea

Others are interested in a games night/ afternoon

Made arrangements for gaming and we'll go to bk for lunch first and call into m&s food

Started reading the data journalism book and enjoying it

Also enjoying the cross stitch

The label book is interesting, a better understanding of the culture here

Watching film with husband 

Car

Got to the library to collect a new book

Husband took me out for dinner and it was really nice.  The food was good and being out together was good.  I chose well.

The test centre was quiet and I had the new library book to read.

Is just a visual re-inspection and should be an easy fix.

Access to the kindle app - some of the books are way better on the pc, like the tarot manual and being able to search for specific cards.

Took care of some admin and messaged friend about gaming

Only a few of us for the walk tomorrow, so I'm OK to ask about gaming.

Thankful for what I have, the opportunities I've had and the support. 

Smart

Glad I went into work.  

That we live so close and I've got the flexibility to start late.

Also I built up enough hours earlier in the week  to have a short day.

Had a walk & talk with someone I like chatting with

Got a couple of documents progressed and talked the boss round to my idea

Was dry while I was outside

Husband fixed the rest of the door seal

Sorted out the blanket edging

Made it to work before husband's meeting

Delegated the nagging I didn't want to do

Lunch was fun and we did the nature walk again

Team mates went to smoke break early so I could join for the walk

They were impressed with my stories (& getting published) 

Caught a few mins with the boss

Am doing much better - no unpaid leave this year and I still have holiday 

Paid more attention in class tonight

Someone I like talking with has signed up for the walk I'm hosting 

My new game arrived and it's fun.  Might well gift it to friend next summer

Remembered to charge my headphones 

Reliable

A lazy start and a slow day

Talked myself into doing a bit of work

The properly blown up ball is high enough for me to use the desk with so that's a big bit of good news

Took myself off to the woods and had a great time on the swing.  Someone passing even asked if I was enjoying it.

The woods were quiet and the weather was dry

Got straight out at the bottom of the woods road

Having flexibility around when and how I work, & what tasks to do

That I got my report back with no comments from the pickiest reviewer 

The boss said the director's going to ask for my help because she knows I'm reliable.

Husband had dinner ready for when it finished.

Did the full walk at lunch & enjoyed it.
It stayed dry for us

The tyres are holding their pressure so hopefully sensor will stop triggering soon.
