Friends

I had a really good laugh at lunch with a workmate, I'm so glad we're friends,
thankful to the mutual friend who introduced us.
I made good progress with my work today, & tomorrow there'll be no distractions.
I'm starting to develop some good habits

A relaxing day

• I made a fair dent in my chores
• I'm on top of my habit building
• The car was clear
• Got in good time for 1st day back at work
• Husband had a drink with me
• My boots were more comfortable than expected

Walk

• Had a lovely walk at the beach today
• there are loads of pretty places nearby
• I like the people & got a good mix of social and alone time to appreciate the scenery
• The weather was good to us
• arrived in good time after an easy drive
• the toilet was open (even though the café was closed, there's a separate toilet)
• got to the shop for milk

Good day

We went to see the new Star Wars film.  I really enjoyed it.  Husband got us the VIP seats with the wide arm rests.  Approve .💖
& I did manage to get parked without too much hassle, & the walk gave me a decent number of steps.  Enough to meet my reserve target.

I really enjoyed my day off with husband.  & then I met friends for cake & a chat (without the cake).  Part of me is relieved that I don't like the things that others struggle to control themselves with (pastry, cake, white bread).  I have my own vices (chocolate).

the streak continues

A deskbound day and I remembered to take plenty of breaks.

I got a good bit done.

Got my movement every hour & got my 10k whilst doing a bit of shopping.

Went exploring to miss the traffic & now I know a new way, I knew it before but I chickened out of taking it.

Plans to meet a friend tomorrow for pilates, & have a good catch-up.

Next door just brought a broccoli stem & cauli leaves for my bunnies - happy bunnies

Remembered screen wash & fuel, really quiet at both places.

more excited!

Great news which isn't mine to share.  I am excited though, & I do so love being excited (& I repeat myself when I'm excited, I know that too).

I got my 10k steps in, & we got our shopping done.

The frost had cleared for when we went shopping, & there were plenty of tills open in the shops.

Painless experience

I remembered a few items I needed as presents, phew - all taken care of.

I made a start clearing the desk.  I am finally going to bring some order to the paperwork.

Happy

I was going to post about how I'm excited, & how I love getting excited, that I am thrilled to have things to be excited about.  Then I saw that I did that yesterday ;-)

• Today I am thankful for friends.  They encourage me & nurture me, & I love interacting with them.  I love that they enjoy conversing with me, & that I am able to cheer them up. 
• I am thankful that there are people around me who listen, & that there are people who talk to me so I can pay that listening forward.
• I found one of my colouring books.  It's a Celtic design one.  That's my afternoon sorted as I sit & colour that.  I'm happy I have a calming hobby that I can get lost in.
• Meeting friends for a drink this morning & I got to the café in time for a good parking space, whilst there was no queue, & I got us the table with armchairs (rather than dining chairs).  We had a really good chat.
• Was chatting to the woman behind me in the queue (the second time I went up for a drink) and am happy she disappeared off in a different direction ;-)

Tidier

• husband's home.  He's been away all week & I've missed him.  It's so nice to have him home.
• I'm excited about stuff!
• I'm glad I get excited, I love having the energy to bounce around.
• I've developing a new habit of being a little bit more tidy,
• I've had the kitchen sink empty for 3 days in a row now.
• There are so many resources available, so much free information
• I am thankful for my friends, for being able to have a laugh

winter's here

Husband's away, am glad for wifi & mobiles & being able to keep in touch.
Am glad of heating & warm clothes & being able to stay toasty inside as it's cold & frosty out
& that I have a good car / battery that defrosts pretty quickly.

I have every opportunity to start decluttering the house now - it'll look lovely when it's done.
I started in the kitchen, thankfully the kitchen is easy, & I love having the dishwasher.

success

the pie was a success, so relieved, & pleased.

remembered to check last Christmas posting to Australia ( = Saturday), card's now in the post,

found a present for a tricky person to buy for.

had a calm, relaxing day, & have cooked something for husband that he liked.

feeling good :-D

calm

went to Pilates with a friend, was the kind of thing I need to do.
Was good to catch up with her, & hear her news.
Got myself in a positive frame of mind about work

Hobbies

They still had the drum kits in store, I am now the proud owner of one :-)
I found some recipes that look reasonable for husband's dinner.
Lunch was good, we all had fun.
I like the oranges I bought.
& the new colouring book.
We got our Christmas tree at work.
I made some progress with some stuff.

Was brave & ventured into the arcade & it was well worth a visit.
