Calm & organised

• she liked her jar of stars, I'm glad
• lunch was good on the comfy sofas, a leisurely lunch

Calm, the people around me seem calmer, I am calmer.  Everything's always ok in the end.  I should skip the bit where I fret. I have that ability, & I know how to use it.

• have been pointed in the direction of useful resources.
• I like reading, I spent some leisurely hours at the weekend reading.   I have plenty enough to keep me entertained
• Shopkeeper found Christmas paper for me so I wrapped niece's present ready.

stars & friends

• My glitter strips arrived today, & I've been folding them into lucky stars.  They are so lovely, the red ones look like red velvet almost.  & then I ordered some little jars to stick them in.  I think they'd make lovely little presents.  If the jars arrive in time then I shall give one to a workmate I'm having lunch with on Monday.  

• I'm thankful for the people I have around me, that I have a lunch crowd.  We filled the overflow table today.
• The canteen was empty enough to allow us to have an overflow table. & husband ordered my lunch so it was ready just after I got there.

• I got an experiment finished.  Properly written up too.  Workmate is eventually working his way through & it's correct so far. & hopefully that's the last piece of unstructured practical I'll be doing.

• I am much calmer now, & when I find problems I can make suggestions, knowing it won't be me needing to sort it out.  I have a more balanced reaction to it now, especially the lab.

car reminders

• Thankfully when I carelessly drove the car over a kerb no-one was hurt.
• The car let me know the tyre was flat so I didn't drive on it 
• I have an inflator in the car so I could pump up the tyre & it held pressure long enough to get me to the garage
• leaving the car in the garage & walking home & back gave me my steps for the day & I enjoyed the walk
• I can afford the work on the car
• I kept my good mood & shrugged it off as carelessness but no real harm done
