Progress

Glad to have husband's beer towels handy when I slopped my drink, glad it didn't go over my laptop.

Thankful I phoned the removals place so he phoned back and I got the slot next Friday. 

That I have the ferry booked and that I have a pcr test booked near my parent's and it feels like everything's coming together.

That the estate agent called in and I had the question document filled out and handed it to her  - saves me the trip out there. 

That I got the loft finished.  That friend got the removals guy and booked the quote visit for me.

That I'm in a good team and we're all friends and have a good laugh.  And my boss is sound.

Crystal friends

Thankful we got a good parking spot right outside the shop again.  That going later meant we got to speak to friend.  That she had set my crystals aside for me and I remembered some beauties for another friend.  That I suggested somewhere else for lunch and they were still serving and we got a table.  That I remembered about the collections that were arranged for 6pm and people were happy to delay a little.  I rethought what I was going to say to someone and came up with a better option.  That the stuff I left outside the house was gone when I got back.

Crystals

Thankful to speak to the boss.  Calming and reassuring as ever.   He's happy with my work & my instructuons are really clear. 

Monday's the bank holiday so I have a day off work.  

And I can take half days next week.

Husband says I'm making reasonable progress.  And my rate will hopefully increase I have been seeing friends and working full days this week.  I can get bread and eat in the house this week.

I found some proof of address and cam forward it to the estate agent. 

Got some fab crystals.  Got crystals with the Reiki symbols on.  The ones that didn't make it home are still safely in the shop waitimg for me. 

Managed to get a few things shifted via Facebook group.   Sofa went to a good home. 

Timings

Thankful I thought to move the seat and take it to friend.   That her car was in the garage so I got to back up onto her drive.  That i fit the seat in my car, & that the bungee corda worked for the boot.  That once the message was acknowledged it didn't beep again.  That I arrived in good time to give her a lift, and that she helped with the garden.  That I got a good bit of the path cleared and the ikea bags were handy, & a good size for putting the weeds in.

That Reiki guy got to call in & will update my certificate.   That I realised about the name change and husband has emailed me scans of the documents I think I'll need.

That friend gave me some lovely presents.  And i've had the sense to have a restful evening so i'm good for tomorrow.

That I chose well at lunch.

Friends

Thankful knocked water over toilet roll and not over the sockets.

That I postponed the valuation and we had time to relax over lunch.  That the valuations came in higher than I was hoping. .

That I cancelled the rest & have freed up rhe time to enjoy with friends. 

That someone is taking the bed, & is listing the sofa for me.  

That I've found a local conpany that does skip hire and that seems like a good option

Progress

Thankful to arrive here ok, & to see friends, & to get fed.  That we got the gate lock off and the bin is out.  That we've made loads of progress.  & we had a laugh at the beach, & got ice-cream, & I picked well.

Husband's been quick responding to my messages.   I've been on the ball at work and logged on for the urgent thing.

  

Escape

Thankful to be leaving, that I still have my house and friends to escape to.

That friend who is currently nearer here than Blyth will still be here when I come back through and we can meet up.  And that's more convenient for me. 

How far I have come in terms of breaking the habits and patterns I see in my parent's relationship, & my mum's / Granddad's anxiety. 

That I have a supportive, tolerant boss and have the freedom to take half days and flexible working.   That today's half day enabled me to actually switch off and sit and listen to my mum. 

That my dad went and got the fish.  That we served his before it burnt. 

That husband sorted out my unlimited internet add-on which will enable me to work from our house.  That arriving tomorrow lunchtime ish gives me plenty of time to get shopping and get settled in, and start packing, before I start meetig friends starting Sunday.

Glad my mum is calmer and more rational, and I can tell from our conversations that she is actually getting confused.  Even in space of a few days
