Happy & sleepy

The crystal I wanted has been put aside for me, hopefully get there tomorrow to buy it.  There're another couple  I liked, I might get them.
Husband had dinner ready for me getting in late.  Staying late at work means I won't feel the need to go in over the weekend.  Managed to show what I need to show.  Boss came in & saw me there well after time.
A few people  responded to requests for help.  Husband brought me bacon, & gave me the advice I needed.  Fixed a problem for me.
My Bluetooth headphones work!  Nice :-)
Found someone at work who likes board game & is happy to play with us.
Played with the spirograph again.  Happy with my picture, glad I have toys around to play with.

Glad

The IT guy came straight down when I asked him if he could help, & we had fun even though we didn't solve the problem.
Solved a problem for someone, managed to pass on some advice without getting stuck in the problem.  Also managed to avoid making something my problem.  As far as I'm concerned it's resolved.  Someone else can fight that battle.
Made some decisions that I can stick by & justify.
Had a fun chat with a contact, & suitably flattered by his response to finding out how old I am ;-)
Someone had a good idea for me :-)  & I got help with moving the heavy stuff.
Found another course in something I'm really interested in.
Am excited about the courses - off I go to study, & I've just remembered to do my washing so I have clean socks for tomorrow.
I was telling one of my work crowd about the crystal talk & she was wondering why I wasn't part of  a holistic healing venture.  Flattered she remembers, & that she thinks I could do it!
& I've started colouring in again, forgot how much I enjoyed it.  Happy for the reminder.

Nice

I braved going to a new place on my own, parked right outside :-)  & it stopped raining for us waiting outside.  I had my big furry coat on so I was warm enough.  Also glad I'd changed into my big boots.
People were friendly & I enjoyed it. & they had a drink I liked.  & I was right in the ID of one of my unknown crystals!  Got a lovely amethyst heart & it was red hot after I got it out my pocket.  Was well restrained & only bought the one thing.

Made some progress today, & learnt something new at work.
Got up late & still made it to work on time.

all's well

I had a lovely conversation with my mentee, the final one of the mentoring relationship.  He was lovely in his feedback, I have a happy glow now ;-)
He appreciated the space to talk & said I listen well.  & he admires me, I've done a variety of things & made it all work for me.  I like the reminder of how far I've come, & that I could be a role model for someone ;-)

I also had a good conversation with my boss.  He trusts me to get on with whatever I think needs done.  I had a good day getting on with stuff.  Husband & I were having a chat & I know what I'm getting on with next.  My trouble shooting is gradually setting boundaries to the problem.

Went out for dinner with husband & his mate.  It was fun catching up.  The weather has been awful, & there was just enough room in the doorway of the restaurant for the 3 of us to hide.  The road was flooded outside when we left but I'd parked far enough up the road to be out of it.

Went to show a colleague how to do something, & managed to help out with a few other things. & I knew what I was doing in front of the boss :-)   I like that department, there's a friendly feel & the banter's entertaining.

Good day

I woke up & found my crystal, it wasn't under husband ;-)
He brought me lovely bacon 😍😍
Initiated a process, & got the paperwork signed, inspired to add to it.  Nice project underway now incorporating that process.  Have some progress to tell the boss tomorrow, something to get excited about.
I have something to get stuck into at work tomorrow - I moved a few things forward.  Baby steps :-)
& I am ok with that.  They're all baby steps.
Husband is making us dinner.  Friend should be here soon.

Sundays

I love Sundays, possibly more than Saturdays.  A properly lazy day.

Tarot club was interesting, I got there in time with no bother, & one of the others was just in the carpark.  The waitress put the heating on for me.  We had good conversation, the cards are merely conversation starts, people like to talk ;-)  The cards were interesting, we are swapping ideas.

A friend lent me a book. They reassured me that my current attitude is justified.  I don't agree but I am glad they took my side :-)

I am glad for the freedom I have.  That husband wears headphones so I can be noisy.  For the time & space to do as I please.  That he spends time with me during the day but generally we get on with our own things.  & whilst it's light I can go for a wander around & get some steps...

The beach

The school thing went well and there is now a group set up to deal with such things at work
I made it to a nearby crystal shop, didn't spend much and came home with lovely crystals.
Called in somewhere else & bought a raffle ticket & had a nice chat with the owner.
Friend has arranged me a place on a course.
The weather is better today, & I made it to the beach.  I love the sounds of the waves.

Friends

I mostly avoided the rain
I caught up with someone whose company I enjoy
Lunch was a really good laugh,
& husband got a Yorkshire to give to me so I had my savoury mince in it like it was a wrap :-)
& I had fun making a mess.
I got some stuff done, felt like a productive day, & I got a document back from someone.
I forgot about training til husband was cooking the tea & then I got a message that a friend wants to come round & that's way better than training so I am relieved I will be in for her visit.

Warm & dry

my new boots arrived
I stayed dry
Arranged curry night
husband indulged me & did the quiz I was interested in the results of
training involved some interesting discussions
got a volunteer to do the pc reboots
someone complimented me on the training
I had some ideas & investigated them,
things are moving along
I remembered to email the nurse & I was having a good day

phew

A couple of things that could've been bad were ok.
The training sessions went well & were fun, they've given me a few things to think about.
I have some ideas to investigate tomorrow,
& I did of couple of things that bought me some goodwill with people.
Found a new curry house & it opens at 5 which is more convenient than our usual.  Food was lovely, service was quick.
Even though there were massive downpours I avoided them.  Only a few trips outside.

evening

I had a good day
Husband made lovely tea.
Remembered to get biscuits for training tomorrow
One of the managers spoke to me in passing & asked if his people were attending & let him know who didn't & he get them along.
Also said he hadn't had the training & is willing to...  has always seemed keen to be supportive of this initiative within his department
Caught one of the others & gave him some positive feedback
Braved going out to something new on my own.
Met friend on the way so didn't turn up along, even though I would've been fine doing so.
Found a lovely new crystal pencil point
Mate came back for a cuppa & a chat & that was good
Got details of a course that looks good & would be very convenient

Am in a good mood

Aftermath

I had a lovely lie in with husband, & I was blogging in bed.  It was just too dark to read.
We got up & went to the tip, the tip was empty, there were only a few other cars there.  That's the bottles gone for now.
I also went to the shop for milk, & remembered to get the bunnies hay.  The big bags had just come in & I got them a cabbage too.
I'm going to hit my weekend reserve of 7k steps & that's acceptable.  I was in a really good mood earlier, & sent a Reiki bubble to a mate.  I've had a good day of tarot & reading about angels.  & a friend is coming to a crystal session in my town tomorrow so hopefully I'll get to join them.
I also got my self-evaluation finished & submitted.

Workshop

I got up plenty early enough, got my bunnies cleaned out & there was no queue for fuel.
The guy in the car behind got to the shop first but held the door open & let me go ahead.
Got parked near the carpark edge & was in plenty of time for a wander along the river & the play area was empty so I had a go in the nest swing.
Still feeling out of sorts but I had lunch with one of the others that was pleasant time, & I liked the food.
Course was interesting & has given me something to think about.  Finally got a piece of lapis too & she'll look for a purple fluorite heart for me.
Have arranged a tarot meet, pleased about that.  A couple of the others are coming.
Found my way back to the car ok, & being near the carpark edge meant I didn't have to go far in the dark.
Got home ok, & husband's made me hot chocolate :-)

Sneezes

I manned up & got something done today, thankfully circumstances made it easy.
I had a reasonable discussion with someone that might lead to a resolution to an on-going situation, & the boss witnessed it so he knows I'm still on with what I'm supposed to be doing.
Husband made me hot chocolate & watched a second show with me cos I was being pathetic.  & then I had a decent nap.
& he's just brought me chocolate.  & he remembered milk when we were shopping, & even though I considered putting it back I thought it was better to say thanks & get it anyway, & that was a good call.
I remembered to get some treats for the bunnies, so I have happy bunnies tonight & I got them cleaned out.  & I remembered to put screen wash in the car. & I checked the oil which is fine.
I even remembered to put the dishwasher on.

Perky

Someone was telling me they enjoy talking to me because I'm bouncy & positive, & uplifting.
I like being that way, I like that I'm seen that way.  I had some upbeat interactions with people today.
& a couple of comments on my blog, & some replies to comments I made on other people's blogs.
I am off to read cards for a friend, excited.
I had a headache from dehydration probably & husband found out so he took me shopping for vimto to make water more interesting. & he made me hot chocolate.
He is frequently sweet in little thoughtful ways, & today he saved me a piece of his chocolate, & is dealing with something he knew I didn't / wouldn't want to.

A good day

I got chocolate as a thankyou from someone.
I got a few minutes with the boss for something I wanted to casually say, & I walked in at appropriate times.
Intercepted a couple of things that needed to be taken care of, & have a few more to add to the list.
Have been seen to be helpful, & got a few things I wanted out of it.
The others had a good night out after we left.
Husband is making me hot chocolate!
Got my 10k steps, & did some weights.
Day was calm, I have things under control/

books & friends

Lying in bed reading, husband's arm around me, one of my favourite things to do in one of my favourite places to be.

Made it out to practice Reiki with a friend, relaxing time & chat.

& then massage & more chat.  & clarified some thoughts.  

I have good boundaries in place at work

& I have my ideas for my training sessions, & husband has agreed with them.

Someone has read a book based on my enthusiasm for it.

I am thankful I can read, & am surrounded by books, & am curious about things.  & have people to discuss my ideas with. & husband & I watch youtube clips of ted talks & influential speakers, & discuss them.  That we are surrounded by resources & ideas....

fun afternoon

had a lovely cuddle as I was reading.  Enjoyed a lazy start to the day in bed with husband

remembered just in time that I hadn't fed the bunnies, got to the bus stop just before the bus

got a good seat in the pub & the others turned up & we had fun

no queue at the taxi rank, & not long to wait

good choice for food - yummy

sensible drinking pace & choice, & had water

wine arrived before we left

ooops - been a while

• successfully scheduled training sessions with people, & am looking forward to delivering them.
• mum & dad popped in & we had fun, & they are happy with their tablets & husband has shown them how to use them,
• I got back into studying & am enjoying it
• plans for the weekend are sorted.
• I am calm & relaxed
• I got my 10k steps, & in general I am active enough without being concerned about the steps
• A present husband got me arrived & I love it, I caught the hematite going rusty before it was spoilt (just tinged so I know it's real).
• & this brought me to my other crystals, & I love being around them.  Am thankful to the friend who introduced me to crystals.
• I stayed just late enough that I'd obviously stayed late, & I got an issue resolved
• remembered my left over chicken & enjoyed it
• dinner out was good, chose well
• the shop had a big bag of hay

Things that brought joy:
I figured something out & passed it on

My crystals

crying laughing at cat videos

am enjoying studying

Hero husband

• Husband was my hero & rescued  the document accidentally saved in my (hidden) temp folder, 
• I had a good stab at getting that document done today, & now it's safe,
• Thought I'd lost the original draft but I'd had the sense to upload it for safe keeping.
• & he made me hot chocolate & fed me cheese bites, & he put the bin out.

Set some useful boundaries for some chores I don't want to be doing.  Now I can crack on with the paperwork.

Got my signed paperwork back & it's safely filed, some more done today.  As I called into the other dept I completed a few tasks there.  Successfully changed my passwords.

Meeting with boss went well, told him everything's under control & my plan for the week.  He was happy with that.

I have done the dishes in the sink & put the dishwasher on.  Researched a journal that looked interesting & talked myself out of it.  I love a blog as a gratitude journal because each day is a separate post (like a fresh page) without the constraint of the page size.  The freedom to type loads or little.  I loved my gratitude notebook when I first started it, & it's interesting to flick back through.  I love how my journal's evolved.  & I think the next step is to add a short "what made me smile" today.  In a different colour ;-)

Today we had a good laugh at lunch.  Some of the things above (like the hot chocolate & retrieving my document) made me smile.  I enjoyed little bursts of diamond dotz in between other things.  & some daft clips on facebook made me laugh.  Items in the house that made me smile are mostly the diamond dotz.

holidays

went up to see my brother & his family.  Thankful for the lift to the station, & that we arrived in good time.  I got a seat in the waiting room, & a single seat on the train.  2 bacon butties, best catered trip up yet!  
Enjoyed the weekend, managed to pick the bits out of my dinner without niece noticing. & actually food was good. & sensible with drink.
Fireworks went ahead as planned & were good.
We had fun playing on the wii.  Kindle fits in a pocket!  & I got a seat for the first leg (very thankful we got to the station early enough for that), & I had access to the socket.  & everyone was well behaved on the train.
& I had reception enough for music for most of the way.

I have tomorrow off to look forward to.
Husband had bacon & cheese on toast ready for me as I got home.
