Successes

I made it to running, just.  It's friendly.
Also made some decent progress on an activity I've been avoiding.
Successfully delegated another action I've been avoiding.
Progress all over the place, & some breathing room.
Husband ordered me my favourite with his tea, it was waiting for me when I came home from running.
& he made me hot chocolate 😍

Sunny & walkies

I had a lovely nap, & then husband took me walkies.  It's sunny but the wind is cool.  I also wandered to the shop for hay for the bunnies & bought some flowers.  They're lovely, & the perfect colour for a friend.  I also wandered down to see some friends.  Fun catching up.

There's bread in the machine for later, plenty of fruit eaten today, & I'm eyeing up a yoghurt to tide me over til the bread's ready.  I'd say husband bought my favourite kind but it's actually the only kind I like.  Nice one husband.

No pressure or chores today, I love lazy Sundays.  Am about to hit 10k steps so not that lazy.  Had a lovely relaxing morning lying in bed reading.  Getting into the book now.  Am so thankful I have the time to indulge such hobbies, & sitting colouring in, even the blogging.

lunch

I remembered about Mother's day in time to get my mum a card in the post.
Thankful there are shops close by, & a post box, & that I have plenty of stamps.

Also thankful husband helped me carry out a good turn today.  I offer to bring lunch back for a few people with no consideration of how I would carry it all.  Husband to the rescue :-D

The bunnies had their annual check-up & vaccinations, they are happy & healthy.  The vet was pleased with them.  They were easy to catch & put in their carrier, & husband helped me with that too.

He made lovely dinner for us.

Happy

I had a good day.
I bounced!  I bounced into my boss's office & feel like things are back on track.
I spoke in coherent sentences most of the day
I had a good work chat with a few people & have some more ideas
Husband's coming home soon

Perspective

1. Husband is only away one day next week, & I've booked an entire day with him at work so I don't feel bottom of the work priority list anymore.  I probably never was it's just there's so much else on for him.  He spends plenty of time talking about work with me at home. I've always told him about my day, & done my thinking out loud to him.  I think things through by talking about them, & husband & friends have always listened or pretended to listen.
2. Friends indulge me in my endless thinking out loud or texting / messaging.  & they still want to spend time with me!
3. Boss has started 2 of our 3 meetings with an invitation to explain my tracker to him.  This is absolutely a "here's your chance to get excited about it - come on then, I'm interested". I'm glad I realised that.  I enjoyed putting that tracker together, & I'm finding it so useful for keeping track of things.  Pleased with myself.
4. Husband's home. & I get to take last minute holidays to spend with him. Had a lovely relaxing afternoon with him to ease the weekend in.
5. I'm in  good mood & have a better perspective on things now.

surroundings

been a while,
I'm fortunate enough to have a job, hobbies, & husband that keep me busy. 
I'm enjoying a shorter commute to a new job.
A new job where I have plenty of scope for autonomy, access to real improvement initiatives, & the senior managers.
Husband who looks after me & adores me, who I adore in return.
A manager who understands, encourages, & supports me.
Work mates who recognise the pressures we're all facing & are working as a team to get the best done we can. 
Who've started coming to lunch & having a laugh with me.

So many ways to relax & enjoy if I think of them, started the colouring again, love it.
Friends who I enjoy spending time with
