Lazy Sundays

I got up & pottered around ready for the walk - made it on time
My shoulder's feeling better, enjoyed the walk & the weather was mostly ok.
we saw seals out basking
A new route avoiding the road,
Gonna get 20k steps on my Garmin, a new badge ;-)
Husband is doing steak for tea 😍😍

lucky

painkillers are easily come by, & quick acting
it's not so sore now, I can still do most of what I need / want to do
husband massaged my shoulder again, even though he dislikes doing it
husband came to the shop with me
we got up early & got to the tip before it was busy
husband played heroes with me
I can do the diamond dotz with my left hand & it's fun (a new hobby for when my right shoulder's too sore)
I finally got the boxes into the loft
plenty to keep me entertained

Holidays & bonus husband time

I got to the course in time, & it was worth going.  I was well enough for the day, got to the train home on time, got my seat, & didn't need to leave it (thankfully didn't need the loo, there were too many people in the aisle to make that feasible).  Came home to husband, sweet messages on the train.

Thankful I'd booked today off, slept loads, recovered.  Sorted out a couple of things I was supposed to do for friends.  Was just up & dressed when husband suggested lunch.  Got him to my favourite woodland café near here, & we had a little walk in the woods.  Survived the traffic as we went to the supermarket & he's reminded why I refuse to go near rush hour or the end of school, or Friday afternoons now ;-)

& now the evening is mine, I have one more chore, finally remembered to put some washing on, & have a new hobby to try out. Step counts are irrelevant for the day.

sick day

• Glad I only get ill at home, that I wasn't travelling tonight, & that I have time to decide about tomorrow.
• that husband was happy to sleep on the sofa & leave me be, & that I get to the bathroom in time, & that I can phone work & have the day off sick
• husband looks after me, feeds me, cares for me, & he did the bunnies today & even went & got hay for them.  Now I'm up to cleaning them out.
• bed & sofa, for endless lying down 
• managed to get my meetings for today cancelled.
• glad I feel better now

ticking along

Back to good meetings with boss, he's the rate determining step for a lot of my work at the moment & he knows it so he's happy enough for me to just keep plodding on.

Had part of a conversation we needed to have, so at least he knows the score.  It was ok.  If I ever have to explain myself it'll be easier now.

Got another document finished, gradually plodding through stuff....

The guys came & took away the stupid bush from the front garden, & cleared the tree from the back.  Garden looks so much better.

The alarm at work cleared by home time & we remembered to go to the co-op for money to pay the guys.

Workmate got home safely

Remembered to phone my Grandad & he was really pleased to hear from me.

Putting the heating on, glad I have a safe warm cosy house, & a husband to snuggle into.

Husband

Husband is lush, he made me omelette that I wanted, & has been extra sweet.
He did my hair too, I wanted a baby Mohican so that's what he did.

I had a reasonable day at work, & got more baby steps of progress.

He's gone to make me hot chocolate...  he's so fab.
Thankful too for friends, lunch was a really good laugh.
The bunnies are well & happy, the shop will have hay tomorrow, & I bought myself some flowers as a treat,

hobbies

Lazy days

Lying in bed this morning, in my happy place.
Reading with husband's arm around me, safe & warm & happy.

I love that I can read, that I enjoy reading.  I have finally given up on something I've been struggling to read & picked up a book I'm really into.  Pleased I have the flexibility to do so.  & then bacon with husband.

Thankful that I can be grabbed by ideas, that I have opportunities to discuss them.  Husband, friends, blogging.  That I can be so excited and happy & be spilling good vibes that I can literally feel radiating from me.  Picking up my favourite crystals & yet again being fascinated  by it.
Being able to shrug off the soreness in my shoulders cos I'm going for a massage this afternoon.

My day

I am so glad I took this morning off, I love my lazy mornings.  No reading in bed, I was chatting with friends.  That's also good.
I've realised I've not brought any of the course details home with me. Plenty of time to phone up & request them to my home email.  Phew.  I have the hotel & the train, I'll be fine.

Husband made me hot chocolate, yay!! 😍
There's a shop near enough to walk to for bacon when I decide to get moving, I have plenty of time left to enjoy myself.
I am happy, excitable rather than calm.  I am good.

The day is full of potential, so much I could do, very little I need to do.  My favourite kind of day :-)

Excited

• I finished my first story cube story, & finally got it to show on my blog.
• ordered myself a new set, they'll be waiting for me coming home from my parents - something to look forward to.
• Was telling a friend about it & he suggested my dice tower would work well with it, 
• & it does, even the cube box fits perfectly (without the sleeve) into the well.
• I've got tomorrow off so it doesn't matter that I am excited past bedtime
• I love getting excited 😍😍
• I had a good day at work, made my 10k steps, & beat workmate within work hours
• lunch was also fun, & I had a good conversation with a few work mates.
• made progress on a few things & stayed calm.
• Had fun playing heroes with husband
• Remembered how much I enjoyed studying, had the chance to remember the astrophysics.  I have been privileged to learn some fascinating stuff
• the new magnets I bought for my T-card board at work are fabulous, pretty & strong.  Enough that I can pin sheets of paper (multiple sheets) to it with them
• I cleared my desk a little
• workmate specially saved me the last piece of fudge 

Good day

1. Workmate had a promo pack of jelly beans, & offered me some / gave me the packet. Yay :-)
2. I collected friend's card from her colleagues & quickly whipped it round our building & returned it.
3. I got my 10k before I even left site!
1. I beat workmate 👍
4. Made baby steps of progress, hey - it all counts, baby steps are good enough & I'm proud of them
5. Found a fab present for a friend.  Was inspired & found the perfect thing.
6. My crystal bible arrived, opened straight at the fluorite page
7. The new magnets are perfect

Ok :-)

I survived the day, I came home in a good mood & we went out for dinner.
Dinner was good, the waitress recognised us, & offered us tea on the house.  I got parked, generally a concern at that restaurant.
I met my boss in passing & I got to tell him what was going on.  He's prepped for tomorrow & is giving me extra time.  & is gently reminding me not to try to do everything at once.
I was proactive about something, & that led me to investigate something else.  Good that I'm aware of it, & hopefully I can use that to show my boss I'm being proactive.

I had a good conversation with a colleague at other site, he was really helpful.  It's good to be building those relationships.

Husband came walkies & I got my 10k steps, he even came the extra to the shop to get milk.  There's hot chocolate in my near future 😍💖

walks

I drove to town, even taking a different wrong turning & still was ok.  Plenty of parking in my usual carpark, & empty enough that I reversed into a space.
Glad I had the sense to split in into two trips from the carpark, plus it went well towards my 10k.
Am relieved it's gone, & hopefully to someone who'll appreciate it.  Also glad of decluttering advice to wish something well & set it free, that's a burden released.
& I was disciplined & only bought one thing, story cubes.  I'm looking forward to using them & have set up a new blog for it.

Went dino hunting & have found where the footpath crosses the train line.  No need to even do that again, though I'm glad I know.  Also levelled up my favourite epic dino & got myself to 15k.  Have found somewhere to do the special battles that's not outside someone's house so I'm off there for that now.

Husband made lush dinner,

crystals

• I love my crystals.  I am thankful for the friends I have & the opportunities they've provided (eg the workshop today was recommended by a friend).
• I found a crystal shop, & resisted buying anything.  There wasn't time, so I didn't rush
• prices in the shop help me realise what a bargain I got at the rock & gem fair.
• I enjoyed the workshop, I was unconvinced at first but I warmed to it.
• Got up early enough to give husband a lift,
• Parked at the river & had a lovely walk along it, got my steps, arrived on time, hassle free
• spoke up to say I couldn't make it if the next session started earlier
• the others were friendly & invited us to lunch
• I did some meditation & the crystal had done it's job - we came to an understanding, & even though I could've bought it, I put it back.  I am happy with that decision,
• I learnt, I love learning,
• husband poured wine & played heroes with me, I so adore husband, thankful he's so ace
• person buying my netrunner collection is ready for it now, they'll be in town tomorrow - easy handover.
