surroundings

been a while,
I'm fortunate enough to have a job, hobbies, & husband that keep me busy. 
I'm enjoying a shorter commute to a new job.
A new job where I have plenty of scope for autonomy, access to real improvement initiatives, & the senior managers.
Husband who looks after me & adores me, who I adore in return.
A manager who understands, encourages, & supports me.
Work mates who recognise the pressures we're all facing & are working as a team to get the best done we can. 
Who've started coming to lunch & having a laugh with me.

So many ways to relax & enjoy if I think of them, started the colouring again, love it.
Friends who I enjoy spending time with

Calm

happy to be calm
to see the positives

spoke to a couple more people at training, glad I made the effort & joined the running club & that they have the circuit training.

So glad I have my own desk & pc, & plenty of lab space, the people are sound too.
Cracking on with work,
plenty of autonomy
& ideas for improvement
getting the hang of the software
Got a lunch buddy.

Healthy

• I joined the running club.  I am enjoying getting out, getting the chat & the exercise.
• They also run circuit training that I'm enjoying, have been enough times to be starting to get to know people.  I've finally found a viable replacement for bootcamp.
• I'm improving at both the running & the circuits.

I had food poisoning a while back.  It made me realise how lucky I am (& how thankful) that most of the time I am healthy & functioning.

• I've been eating more fruit, & enjoying it.
• settling into new job
• loving the quickness of the new commute
• starting to be able to get on with work

I'm back!

can't believe I haven't posted in a few months.  Time flies - am thankful for being busy.

New job.  So excited.  I love getting excited, plenty to get learning, to get improving, & to get enjoying.

New course is going well.  Is easy enough & quite interesting.

The mentoring is going well, am thankful for the nudge to keep me on track.  Also my mentee is enjoying the sessions & finding them useful.  Double score ;-)

Have got myself an exercise routine!  Am seeing progress with the running, & possibly with the strength & conditioning.

Went a-visiting yesterday.  Always relieved when we catch trains ok & get our seats without bother.

happy

I have settled down at work, busy but productive.  Am no longer stressed.
Am enjoying boss being back.

Had a good chat with my mentor, & got some plans & direction for the next few weeks - well til the end of September.  Am thankful for the reminder of the good I have, the things I enjoy.  I have coping mechanisms in place, & I should go to them sooner if I ever get stressed again.  I also have friends I enjoy time with.
