Tidying

Thankful I had left overs for lunch and I enjoyed them.  That husband mostly takes cares of meals and is open to suggestions.  After trying the cheese balls (which were nice enough to get again) I put all the flyers into the recycling.

Feeling much better today and got a decent amount of unpacking done - cleared the final box out of the bedroom.  My favourite clothes still fit me & all fit into the wardrobe.

Measured the corner of the box room again and I will fit another boot unit in there.

Husband finished the film with me, & is happy to watch a show I found.  That we have the streaming services and plenty of entertainment.   Also glad I have quiet indoor hobbies as well as enjoying outside, so I can survive eg this week where I couldn't go out.

Turned the scarf start into a a square and started again with a bigger hook which is working out better for the scarf.  Glad I have access to wool and craft supplies and have plenty of storage space for them too.

That I managed to shower today.

Have a hypnosis workshop to look forward to tomorrow  and remembered to casually remind friends about it today 

Hope

Thankful husband is better and he did some housework.  

That he ordered the dinner I requested and takes care of the meals and shopping.

That I'm able to take time off when I'm sick and concentrate on recovery.  That I feel better today and able to move around a little bit.

Enjoyed some conversations with friends. 

Have managed to set a few more colouring books aside for donation.  Dropping the squares in means I can ask about the colouring books too, & maybe drop a few letters for the nursing home in as well.  

Have decided to start back on the crochet - thankful I learnt.  For YouTube and tutorials and the squares project giving me an easy way to practice.  I've enjoyed doing them and knowing they have a function.  That the latest square has straight edges so I am confident of the scarf edges being good.  

Having a laugh with a friend and being able to encourage a couple of others. 

Got the jigsaw finished, relieved all the pieces are there - that I got them all back when I knocked them off the table.

Books

Thankful I enjoy quiet relaxing hobbies such as crochet and cross stitch.   That crochet especially requires little in the way of focus both paying attention  and literally having my eyes focus on it.  Also so pleased that I love the sofa and the house is warm.  And my mum managed to find the pattern I was after.

That husband ordered me the apple pie I wanted and I enjoyed it, and that I did myself the root veg fries to accompany it, & had some fruit.  Glad j had the foresight to buy cuppa soups as well.

That I had an enjoyable chat with a friend today, it was one of the days we had a good connection. 

Messaged my boss and feel better about staying off sick the rest of the week.  Thankful he's supportive and has given me a much better experience than other workplaces.

Messaged another friend and they're hopefully visiting this year.  Am glad I have people nearby who I can call for favours too - husband's prescription was dutifully dropped off this morning.

Remembered to renew my library books and found a couple more than look interesting I've put reserve requests in for.  That's my something to look forward to - getting those books and a borrowbox book I requested is coming available tomorrow.  

That I'm feeling better and brighter.  And I got the bedding changed.  I love new bedding.  Also found a new show to watch on the TV and remembered a YouTube show that I was enjoying.  I slept better last night so am hopeful I'll sleep tonight too.

Rest

Thankful to be off work, to have the day to recover  

That husband is feeling better and cooked today, & just put the bin out.

Got the squares finished & all joined together.

The nurofen was on the table & fixed my headache.

The book I was looking for is on borrowbox so I've got a reservation placed for it now.  That I don't feel the need to finish  books I'm not enjoying.

Health

Thankful we were awake and up in time for me to shower and eat before workshop.  That someone else I know from them was also signed up and it went ahead.  

Faciliator appreciates my support and my succinctness - glad because these are things I pride myself on.  Thankful that I know things I enjoy and things I don't even though I'm good at them.

Contact replied to say how I enrich her life.  Had an interesting conversation with husband and he agrees with my assessment of my zones.  Husband has been enjoying the conversation we have ay mealtimes now we don't eat in front of the TV.

Glad we have interesting, thought provoking conversations.

That we live near the woods and I got out for a quiet sit there.   That there is plenty of parking and I got to pull out onto the main roads ok.

That my ankle was fine for the walk to the supermarket and I remembered to take a reusable bag.  That it only drizzled so I didn't get wet.  Also managed to get the pastries husband wanted and a trest for myself.

Chocolate binge yeaterday hasn't derailed my slimming plans - & I'm proud of myself for my fasting achievements.  Also that husband made me hot chocolate without complaint when I asked.

Thankful for my health, that it's good enough for me to take forgranted.   And that I've realised my legs haven't been so tired to be sore lately, nor have I had hunger rage since I started the fasting.  

That I have so much to be thankful for.

Space

Thankful to be able to take it easy workwise while I get myself back on form.  I can take my time over the weekend finishing a few things off. That it's a long weekend with the bank holiday.

For the team meeting being a good laugh.  

That I was able to help the few people that came to me today.  And kept my cool with an annoying colleague.

I managed to get out at the roundabout through all the chaos - constantly relieved that this week is a one off and I don't usually sit in traffic.

One of Sunday's events is cancelled so I can attend the others I'm signed up for.  And Saturday's is still going ahead - pleased someone else signed up.

Also that I'm not getting tired like I was.  Just realised my legs haven't been sore in a good while.  

Husband has agreed to set up the weights bench so we can get back to doing the weights.

Location

Glad hotel has a big free carpark.  That the traffic here was fine and I arrived on time.  

That it was fine weather and I got to the gardens and the woods.  And remembered fuel.  

That there's no gaming tonight - I wouldn't get there for the start.  Dinner was enjoyable.

For snuggling under blanket on sofa with husband.  Loving the new sofa and recline feature.
