Gardens

Thankful for having friends,
For having the sense to suggest going out, & having a friend who was available & ready for a cuppa & a chat.  Extra bonus = my drink was free.
Had a bonus wander round the outdoor bit 
Got the curly hazel I was after, & a few other exciting plants too, & nothing bank breaking.
For the lend of a fork which made digging much easier.  Weather was good & I got out planting and everything's in now.
Husband sent me on a list of what he wants for Christmas & that's all ordered now.
My sunflowers are still flowering
Won on one of the games I like playing, & against someone in the high 200s
Looks like the weather's going to be good for tomorrow's walks

Games

Thankful I have an easy job & was pretty much left alone.
Husband knew I wanted hot cookies and ordered some with dinner.
Felt better after a nap
There's no deadlines or pressure on me for anything
I have a wonderfully calm life.
Husband takes care of the meals & made yummy cheesy egg thing at lunch.
Managed to get a game I wanted (& I've been doing better on the online solo game).
There're another couple of games to investigate so I can spend the balance on my card
Am excited about the work club starting up because I can rarely be bothered with the travel to the other one

Sleep

Thankful I made pilates and that I have the freedom to leave early.  For the physical space in the lounge and husband finished his meeting well before.

Managed to resist snacking after dinner.  Dinner was good and I like snuggling under the blanket with husband watching tv.

That I get left alone to get on with my work.  Found something interesting to do and investigate.

Gaming is delayed so we can take our time in Kilkenny.

Got another coding module finished.  Was a bit of a chore towards the end but I think I have the hang of it.

Been remembering times out with friends and sending them reiki.

Rest

Glad I had enough parking paid.
That my card was on my desk rather than lost.
Crowns look good, glad that's all over.

Chicken curry was nice.
The yoghurt I dropped in the kitchen dented and stayed intact.

Got my priority work tasks completed and know what to play with next.

Started a new crochet pattern.

Husband's finally learnt to use a quicker washing cycle, & I have the dryer emptied for him.

The flu jab and my next dental appointment are of different days.  
Got details of the hygienist visits and they shouldn't interfere with anything.

Actually got started reading one of the creative writing books.

Happy

Happy to get outside skipping.  That I'm managing the extra 30s.  

That I had an easy day and was left alone.  Fixed my chromatogram issue and am ready to execute tomorrow.

The next job is ready too so I have plenty to be getting on with without being under pressure.

We revisited some old issues in counselling amd she understands them better now with context.  

One of my friends sent in my timebank reference and I remembered to remind the other.

Husband did my wedges for lunch and the pan fried salmon was lovely.  Then he did steak and fried potatoes for dinner which was also lush- he spoils me!

Got to the library to collect a book, late enough for free parking and practically right outside too.

Finished the scarf and started a new one.  Glad I have hobbies to enjoy.

Better

Thankful we got to work OK and in good time.
Managed to shower and take breakfast.
Used the fallen leaves to clear up the spilt yoghurt.

Plenty of steps and managed to catch up with the boss. Was a good chat.  Stayed long enough for husband to catch up with him too.

Managed to get something sorted today and that got me brownie points.  Had a laugh with team mate and she helped out with access.

Lunch was nice.  And we came home for tea.- just as well since gaming wasn't tonight.

Had a nice walk and chat with an office mate, & another is looking to do that nature walk so I'm going to do that with him one day. 

Finished a book and got it returned before it expired.  

Managed being on site and am feeling better in general.  Did practically a full day's hours.

The computer glitch my laptop had at work doesn't happen at home.  Phew.

Plans

Glad the walk was enjoyable, reasonable pace and the temperature was pleasant.  

Friends stayed for a chat.  Glad the meetup has served its purpose and I'm happy to let go

Husband did wonderfully crispy bacon when I got home & I had the last of the baguette.

He cooked a new batch of curry which  was lovely and started watching Castle with me again.

Got most of the assessment form filled in.  Enjoyed answering the questions and taking the chance to vent about what annoys me.

Enjoyed the tarot zoom, appreciate the chance to get my cards out.

Not having class this week hopefully means I get to do some reading.

Paid for the car insurance.  Thankful I remembered, that it went through OK, & that I have the money to pay for it

Got the demon story mapped out but think that'll be a short story and I concentrate on the subtitle one as my longer piece - and also that I don't have to decide yet and still have plenty of time to work out ideas.  The tarot pointed towards concentrating on creative efforts and that was useful - I agree.  

That there's enough blue wool to make a decent scarf.  There's enough light from the lounge lamps that I can crochet while watching tv with husband.

Am feeling better again today
