Teeth

Thankful my boss is supportive.
& that I am still making baby steps.
For husband pointing out that my energy levels & mood seem more stable these days, & they are.
That he cooks for me, & looks after me,
That he filled my advent tree for me, & is full of sweet gestures.
& showed me how to use the water flosser & got me my own tips for it.  That the airer with tub lid makes a handy height table for it, & the socket is handy.
That it doesn't matter I won't get the scarf finished tomorrow, & I have plenty of interesting wool to look forward to.
That there's no deadline for the crystal homework, & I feel better for having started it.
That we got registered with a dentist & managed to get check-ups.

Woods

Thankful friend was happy to come to the woods, & be a passenger while I collected someone new.

That the drinks van was there & everyone was happy to stay for a cuppa & more chat, & that meant I got to talk to some of the others.  That a couple of people are signed up for the next one, & everyone said they enjoyed it, & I got to catch up with an acquaintance from last year.

That mentee cancelled so I had the afternoon to myself & made loads of progress with the scarf.  & husband played Marvel with me (& chopped up melon). 

& I finally made a start on my crystal homework, & found my lined paper.

That the house is warm and cosy & we have safe drinking water, & hot tap water, & central heating.  & books, plenty of books.

Teeth

Thankful we got to the dentist's ok & there was parking right opposite.  As a bonus the parking is free for December.  That there's no urgent work required, & plenty of time to sort out filings etc.  & the jury's still out on the root canal & it seems to have settled down again.
Friend wants a scarf, glad I asked.
& that I have plenty of wool, & the 100g ball looks to be plenty for the one I'm already working on.
That I made it to Pilates, & had a nice chat with friend.  That I'm reminded (once again) to do my crystal homework. Maybe a task for over the Christmas holidays.  That I resisted cheesy garlic bread with husband & exercised instead, & there was plenty left over for when I was finished.
Got today's urgent thing done, & the next thing has plenty of time.
That my contract extension is progressed, so I'm good til June.
That we have the exercise machine & weights bench etc. so I can exercise anytime I want really.

Thankful for the walk at lunch, & for husband taking care of the meals.

That I made it to the woods & it stayed dry while I was there.  For the meetup group, & having people to walk with.

That there were shopping baskets at the end of the row where I dropped everything, & I found everything I was looking for & got nice wool.  That I'm enjoying the knitting, & have access to everything I need.  That I'm working & can afford to treat myself.  That I got the numbers for the advent tree.

That I've had a nice relaxing day, & even made it to Pilates.  That there are opportunities there for me, meetup, online and in person.

That volunteering was enjoyable, social & I did ok with the conversations.
