Today I am thankful again for being able to lie in, for being able to get up at my leisure, & for friends to chat to. For being able to drive & get out & meet people. For lunch, for the experiences I can better empathise with (like a friend who always eats in cafes). For being able to get a parking space, & having a friend to help me carry the hay, & remembering the hay, & there being no queue in the post office. & for making a sensible choice at lunch.
For the beach being nearby, & the freedom to nap, & getting home safely. That the mania & need to nap have passed & now I can get on with my day, & thankful for the foresight to get curry out for tea. & now I can remember what I want from the corner shop, & I can go & get cash & supplies.

Crystal healing
Thankful I got up in time to clean out the bunnies & see my parents off, & to get to the crystals in good time & for the seat by the radiator. That I got parked on the appropriate side of the road & stayed dry walking up in the rain. That friend has prepped teacher that I was fragile. Thankful too for the different atmosphere & being able to sit back & chill.
Thankful I got the opportunity to do a healing, that a friend will let me practice on her too. That I have friends to share these interests with. Thankful for the healing I had, & that the meditations were enjoyable, & for rediscovering myself. I have a well defined sense of fun, & I need to indulge it, that's good to know. Thankful for the clarity to make some decisions. & for just a small spend in the shop afterwards 😎
Thankful my parents got home safely & that husband washed the sofa throws while I was out. & that he was happy to come to the other chippie so I could enjoy my favourite fishcake. That we got parked right outside, only a short walk in the rain.
Thankful that I had the energy to stay awake all day, that I seem to be getting into better sleep habits. That I was able to gift a friend a crystal, that I am coping better as I'm reducing the tablets, that I have people to speak to, & for the times I don't need to talk & can just listen. Thankful for the kind of person I am, for the being able to prompt people to talk & be able to distract from my worries, & being able to put them into context. Thankful for my blogs & being able to feel heard.
Thankful for remembering fun things today, & ideas of where to have fun later in the week. Thankful even my dad had a go on the bongos this time, & that we get on, that the weekend passed easily and we enjoyed each other's company.

Chopping
Thankful the weather was dry & I got most of the choppings bagged for the tip, plus some of the branches can be dried out & given to a friend.
Thankful I can still have a laugh with friends, & that I am entertained. Glad that friend is feeling better.
Thankful I remembered to feed the dog
That husband let me lie on him to watch tv, & I enjoyed it.
That I heard back from another friend & she's good to meet next week.
Thankful I have friends to text & meet.

Sleep
Thankful I slept better, for a lie-in with husband off work, for a gradual start to the day.
Remembering to remove my fleecy blanket (& the cushions) off the sofa before the dog arrives.
For lunch, the oven, the fridge, the food. For Netflix & tv & entertainment. For comedy shows.
For being able to get up in the morning, being able to see & hear. Thankful for all the things I take forgranted.
Thankful for my parents & their health, my family & friends & theirs.

Nap time
Thankful I have the day off work so it doesn't matter that I didn't sleep.
Thankful husband took me for a longish walk so I've got today's steps & exercise, & hopefully will be tired out enough to sleep. Also that the book I wanted to get wasn't in the shop & I'm not tempted by anything else so my no-spend is intact. That I remembered I had left over soup & had that for lunch.
Thankful that my boss was there when I rang & that we had a little conversation, & that he's being supportive, & that handing in my doctor's note will wait til Monday when husband's back at work. Also that husband has given me some ideas & I have a vague idea of where to start.
That there isn't too much tidying up to do before my parents arrive tomorrow, & that I still have plenty of nap time.

Beach, talking, walking
Today I am thankful for the lack of alarm clock since husband's off work. I am thankful for his calm presence & his cuddly nature. I am pleased that I am safe & cared for.
Thankful too for a friend who took me to the beach, for the chat & the walk, & the bacon butty & drink. Thankful to the mutual friend who introduced us. Thankful for the sun, that the weather was dry, for the pub (& toilets!) in the middle of the walk, & the quiet, pleasant beaches we have here.
I am so thankful that I got a doctors appointment, for the opportunity to say what I needed to, to feel heard, for more time off work, for a boss who's easy to deal with in these respects. That I'm coming off the tablets, that I remember what it was like beforehand.
Thankful that I have this blog, for the mindset that lets me see good. For the last time I was in the café & overheard someone ask for sausage sandwich so I knew to ask for bacon butties. For things I take forgranted like being able to drive, & the beach being nearby, & drinking water, & being able to shower, & having food, & healthcare, & a job, a house, husband, friends....

My cosy bed
Thankful for my cosy bed. When husband left for work I just melted into it & it kept me safe and warm. It welcomes me for naps & sleep, & resting.
Thankful husband seems extra cuddly at the moment. He's very accepting of where I'm at & what I'm capable of, & he sent me sweet gifs.
Thankful my friends are understanding & happy to rearrange plans.
I made it out to the shop & back. The bunnies are happy & enjoying their cabbage.
I got my purse back.
I finally put the towels away. One of my objectives for the day achieved.
Husband is off tomorrow, no alarm! Looking forward to a long undisturbed sleep.
Thankful he came in & watched tv with me for a while, that he's happy for me to either talk or not talk. That he's easy to be with.
Also for a couple of friends who checked in with me today, tis rare to hear from them.
One has done well with the meetups groups we investigated online last time he visited. I am pleased for him & he sounds happy.
