Friends & work

Thankful for being calmer today, that I found my unicorn pyramid & could admire it during the day.

That I got my meeting with the boss, & things are going well.  That I know what my priorities are now, & that the chaos doesn't need to affect me.  That I stayed calm most of the day.

That husband had lunch cooked ready for me so I got to eat even though I only had a short break, & he cooked dinner too.

For helping me with the bedding so I could nap.

For workmate coming round & enjoying a chat with him & husband.

For friends popping up on Facebook to chat.

Unicorns

 So thankful I asked for the unicorn workshop & that my friends were able to attend.  That the other lady there also had her dragon with her.  Am pleased she got to meet her unicorn, she was so excited about it.

Thankful to the facilitator, & to the path that has lead me to him and my friends & these interests.  That I got to meet the unicorns and receive healing.

That I already have a unicorn pyramid.  That I realised I posted grats in the kindnes blog by accident the last couple of days and have now corrected that. 

For the people that showed up for the walk & we had a pleasant time.  That the weather was good for us, stayed dry and still.  That I've put another location up & people have signed up for that too.  That I have access to meetup and events to meet people, & people attend.  That husband comes if I really want him to, and is also happy to let me do my own thing. 

That he does the cooking & sorting out dinner.  & I got another unsolicited hot chocolate tonight.  

For being able to order myself treats, & expand my toolkit.  For the gifts & skills I have, & that today's session has reminded me why the meetup is a good idea, & that there is so much more to life that work, & not to let it get to me.  That I'm in a much better frame of mind for my meeting with the boss tomorrow.

That workmate got in touch, & we have a wedding invite.  That I am settling in & making friends.

Relaxing

 Thankful for having plenty of space in the house.  That I can get up & sit in the other room & not disturb husband when I'm restless.  That he came & told me it was fine on the weekend when he's not working.

That I was well snuggled before he got up, & I had a decent sleep & lie-in after I'd gone back to bed.

That there was sufficient wool for me to finish both the squares I was doing, & all my attempts so far have been reasonable.  That unpicking the wonky edges was the right choice.  That I'm enjoying the crochet & have plenty of supplies.

For left overs so I had plenty of food today too, & for husband making me hot chocolate.

That we were able to stay home in the bad weather & watch the films he wanted to catch up on.

That I feel better today, hard to imagine what the problem was earlier in the week.

That I've remembered to set the alarm for tomorrow, & to send the meetup details to contact from Friday.  That I'm feeling better about the craft classes now.

Socials

Glad the boss told me to take the afternoon, & I did.  That actually everything's under control.

That husband came to the woods & it was dry for our walk.  That he does nice things for me, including things he's not fussed about but knows I like (like the walk at the woods).  That it didn't start raining til we were back in the car.

That going to the supermarket this afternoon reminds me that I am spoilt to not often be in traffic, & reinforce our choice of location for house hunting.

That I made the effort to go to the knitting club, that there was an garage open on the way, & I found a chocolate bar as a treat for husband - one he hasn't seen before.

That I found the church hall ok, & there was plenty of parking, & the group are friendly enough.  That I picked up some wool for another square, & see me going back.  That I came a different & much easier way out so it will be much easier to find next time.

That I found the sock pattern I was using & printed myself another copy.  For free online patterns and internet communities.

Easy

Thankful for an easy day & mostly being left alone.  No new disasters.

That the boss came to the team meeting & signed off my requests & I've managed to get started on them, & I've done what I need to this week.  That I got up early enough to fit in the day to finish at a reasonable time & I had decent banter with a couple of people.

That I found a pattern for the class next week, & think it'll work with my red wool. 

For husband making me hot chocolate & doing the cooking.

That we have somewhere to live & it's warm & cosy. That we're spoilt for space & are looking to buy an even bigger one.  Getting excited about making plans.

Recovered from being annoyed / upset in time to be normal at team meeting.  

Time

Thankful for my day off, for the lie-in with husband.

For access to counselling, & the opportunity to think out loud, & make sense of things.

That it was a reasonable day & the woods was empty, & I got to go on the swing for a while.

That there're more craft / knitting groups starting up and look like some closer to home.

That my project bag arrived, in time for me to take it out when the groups start again.

I finally pulled out the hair that's been annoying me.

That I had a pleasant day & am grateful for the time & space to do things I enjoy.

Looking forward

Thankful I got done what I needed to at work today.  That team mate was able to review some work so I could get it released.

That I managed to solve a couple of work problems & people were appreciative, & I felt smart for figuring them out.

Had a nice chat with a workmate about the house, & realised that this is the one I want.  Husband got his agreement in principle & has agreed to put an offer in.  

We finished the jigsaw & all the pieces are there.  That there's no rush for us to dismantle it.  Glad we have the room to have a dedicated jigsaw table.

That husband did weights with me, & I progressed a kg on curls.  

That I remembered to log into meetup & cancel my RSVP for Sunday when I'm at the unicorn workshop.  For the workshop being held & friends to attend with.  Something else to look forward to. 

That I am feeling much better now the house is sold.  We got a refund on the TV licence & the home care agreement, & the final gas & electric bills are through.
