Plans

I made a plan, & I got a result.
A couple of workmates were sweet.
Husband's talk went well, & was enjoyable.

I got the bunnies cleaned out.
The notebook idea is going well.

the usual, appreciated

Several things I did today were well received.
A couple of workmates were sweet.

I remembered to get fuel & pulled straight out of the garage onto a clear road.
Husband remembered to put hay in the shopping order.
I cleared the table & we played heroes again, all ready for mate visiting.

productive

Lifeboat guy is back, the day went smoothly.
He's helping out with my hosting tomorrow, & has been really helpful today.

I had some success at work.  It dawned on me eventually that I may meet my deadline this week.  At least I have something to report. & a way forward - that's always good.
I've written some notes for work & got energised.  & that allowed me to beast the weights.

I found the perfect notebook for the new technique I want to try.  & when I thought all my post-its were at work, I saw the ones I kept at home cos they're pretty.

Friends & warmth

met friends, had fun.

Was thinking how lucky I was to get a taxi within 10 minutes last night.  & a safe uneventful trip home.

A safe uneventful journey each way today too, & plenty of parking & seating.
The bed is cleared for mate's visit.  The house is warm & cosy, & slightly tidier now 👍  He can at least sleep.  Plenty of time to throw whatever's on the table onto the sofa & then into a box.

Used the new hoover for the first time.  Neat. & having it hanging on the wall means it's more likely to be where it lives.

Have started a new blog & got the hang of it.

Good days

I had a really good day, both today & yesterday.

Yesterday was bacon.  It was a fun social event.  We also had bacon on Thursday.  I am thankful for my workmates,& that we have a canteen, & that it does bacon.  Also I got a couple of things finished, & got my 10k steps.

Today was the beach. Cold & windy but dry.  Walk & talk, my favourite way to do both, combined. 😻
& more games.  Fun.  & we won.
The taxi arrived really quickly, & here am I home safe.  & more books arrived.  & I can easily write 100 words. I do that most days on my OU blog.  Sometimes even on my fitbit post.  Am thankful for the group, the social, advice, support, accountability.  I rediscovered the fantasy OU stuff.  I did enjoy writing that.  Great place to start when I'm considering writing 😍

I have fun & interesting interactions with people. I have good people.

Being ok

it's easy to take forgranted - I'm glad I'm ok.  I have my health & my social life, & am rich in many ways.

I'm getting stronger & more resilient.  I am surrounded by lovely people.
I am finding time for the things that are important to me, the things that I enjoy.

brain power

I pride myself of being smart.  Today I figured out a calculation, & how it was the explanation that was misleading rather than the calculation being wrong.

I'm glad I got the chance to figure it out.  I feel smart again, I needed it.  I'm glad the boss is so sound, & suggests thinking time.  Yep, calm & breathe.  I love how calm he is. I love how calm husband is. I love being around husband, basking in his calm 💖  & he made me a fab tea.  Hopefully soon he'll make me hot chocolate 💃

& to counter that calm, I love getting excited.  So tonight I got my bounce back.  & I put the bounce to good use on the Kinect.  Husband did so well suggesting that.  Have had a good workout, & now I'm warmed up for weights.  Is so convenient having the bench & the weights rack.  There're no excuses for not using them.  Well except that husband's using the bench as a clothes rack.  Means he can't complain about my mess all over the house.  We're well matched 😍

work

how lucky we are to have our own desks, computers, heaters.
To be in the office with food & drink around.
That we're trusted to get on with our jobs.

I picked up the weights again.  Still shaking, must've done me some good!  👋  lol waving hand sign, I thought it was a dumb bell.

& I drank plenty of water today.
