Better

Thankful to be feeling better, to have got up earlier and cracked on with work.

Enjoyed editing the documents and being able to get on.  Newbie came to team meeting & is a good laugh. 

Got the curtains.  They look good and am relieved husband carried them for me.  

That he got the freezer round & we now have some kitchen supplies.  Like the onion chutney from the hamper.

That we managed to get all the cardboard into the recycling point, & that noth our recycling bins got emptied.  

For callback from the energy supplier and the electric meter is converted and I'm booked in for the gas.

That I got to speak to the guy at the storage place and he received the authorisation - phew.  Fingers crossed it all goes OK with our removals.

Progress

Thankful for an easy work day, & that I managed to get what I needed from my boss. & then I just made it to hypercare for the next stage.

That we remembered to put the bin out & have just remembered the second one.

That I finally managed to catch up with a few phone calls, & found out what the doc wanted - & just phoning back from the missed call wouldn't've done that.

That we managed to collect husband's parcel, & went a sensible way when we got caught in traffic - thankful the shopping centre was in the opposite direction

Speaking to the storage place made progress, & the delay gives me time to sort out authorisation & clear my balance.

Feeling better today

House

Thankful husband figured out why the heating wasn't coming on and fixed it.

That he's still working on assembling the book cases for me and figuring how to fit everything in.

That he's put shelves up next to my computer and my crystal trays fit in perfectly.  Glad I brought them from the other house.

That I got some cool things when i was shopping, the curtain tiebacks look great, & I got more brushed cotton bedding.  

That it's warmer today with no ice and I walked round to the house and back.  

That I braved joining the online gaming group and got into a game.  Husband was there to help me set up the headset and I enjoyed the session.

Warm

Thankful I'm doing half days and can take it easy.
That there is plenty to be ticking over with and not so much I feel bad about being off.

That the duvet cover is dry and husband helped so now bed is ready.

That there was a carpool space right outside the building with the hampers so not far to carry.  Also that there is plenty inside that I like. 

That I realised I had no lights on before I met anything on the road.

Husband has figured out how to set the timer and the house is a lot warmer now.  That we can afford heating.

I got the next few Christmas cards written and posted.

Calming

Counselling was OK.  I got round in time to get settled.  

Collected husband and got him back here in time to set up for his meeting, & there was enough bread left for us each to have toast for lunch.  

Made it to supervalu for hot chocolate while he was loading the car, and tea arrived in time for me to eat before gaming.  He also liked the cake I got to celebrate our first meal in the house, & said I chose well. 

Had a little nap instead of a meeting I didn't want to go to.  Glad I made the right choice there.

Got bread so we can have breakfast and remembered peanut Butter too.  

Thankful to have the car and am able to drive - means I can easily get around and transport our stuff. 

Thankful for gaming, & that tonight was a 2 game night so I got to leave at the half way point.  That the roads were fine too, & the traffic had cleared when it was time for me to leave.

Happy

Thankful for the electric screwdriver, & for getting the cupboards finished.  For the flat pack furniture being easy to assemble & not requiring much strength.

That we currently have the internet at both houses, so I could sit on the sofa & watch a film with lunch.

Very thankful for the overlap with the 2 houses, that we can take our time moving, & getting stuff together. & that we could leave the house empty while it was being painted.

That I've got half days to help me get sorted in the house.  

That I'm fit & flexible enough to sit on the floor and assemble the furniture, & for being able to climb the stepladder and clean out the cupboards.  That my energy levels are good, & the snoring strips are helping me sleep better at night.

Found

Thankful I've savings, & it's easy to transfer money between accounts, that I can use email instead of text.
That the hot water in the house is fine.
I found the light shades I like when we were out shopping today.
The painter is going to drop off some left over paint for us - phew, I marked the wall already.
I found the door pieces, so the walls are protected again.

Found my pin, & missing bank card.
Contacted someone to clear the gutters, another job off the list.  The painter knows a tiler so hopefully get the tile in the kitchen fixed.
That it hasn't got as cold as expected & was quite pleasant today.
For having tomorrow afternoon off, & husband is going to take it off as well so he can finish the beds.
