Happy place

The good mood is maintained. 

Caught friend again, had a good chat.

Pleasant catch up with another couple of friends too.

Finished my covering letter.  There's a review function and I have spotted (& thus am able to correct) several mistakes.

The weather was fine & dry so I sat out with my bunnies & read for a little while.  Going out for lunch meant I had food for tea.  

Remembered to take the butter.

My purse was in my work jacket, as I hoped.  Dowser was correct, I am relieved.

Happy days

Enjoyed my lie in with husband :-)  he stayed in bed til it was time to get up - just for me.
Got my glitter tattoo ring, really pleased with it.
Got to work in time for lunch & the others were there.
Had a good afternoon, some documents have progressed, got a plan for the next short term, & then onto the longer term (have enough to say for my meeting).
Rabbit hutch has been collected, painless.
Met friend & had a fab chat, saw a great present for her & she loves it.  & I got her some treats.
Remembering the meditation from yesterday & can get back into a happy place.

Crystals & friends

The course was more enjoyable today, didn't get sucked into negativity.
Plus during the meditation I discovered joy, (well partly that was yesterday with a friend).
A friend also helped me with a decision I've been dithering over, her usual encouragement / positivity.
Have been chatting with friends tonight, & booked tomorrow morning off, thankful I have the freedom to do that.
Had an enjoyable weekend.

I love my weekends

• a fun afternoon catching up with a friend.
• practice was useful
• remembered husband's parcel
• husband made us lush dinner, volunteered to, hot chocolate, the pleasure of his company
• pulled out & set the table for us, & cleared away some of the stuff on the floor
• remembered to pack my bag for tomorrow, 
• friend is minding my bunnies this weekend so I didn't have to drive tired

hobbies

Caught up with a friend, a lovely chat. She's happy.  I got the bunnies out in a break in the weather.  They are enjoying their running around nibbling & the grass at home has grown for them.
Another friend is going to help with my tidying up, and another with my crystal course homework.
I have the bed cleared.
I stayed up too late reading a book, all in one go!  Thankful it's the weekend.  Husband even moved over into my side so I could be near enough the lamp to read & still be in his embrace.  Finished another book this morning so that's my item decluttered into the charity bag tonight.
Found one of my crystals that was hiding, & had an admire of them all.

Friend has sourced some volunteers for us to practice on.

Yay, success

An insight into husband's frustrations - a bonding opportunity.  Bacon!  I like having husband around.  I bought his breakfast & had plenty of change for the canteen.  Also following him through the cycle means he understands my frustrations too.

Success on another project.  Finally a problem that seems to just have been escalating in severity since February is resolved.  Anti-climactic and fortunately I'd just kept pushing away with ideas until success.  A reward for the IT guy...  Hopefully I have time to get a company award to him before he leaves.  Some tidying up to do to keep me busy for the rest of the week.  Should be finished and wrapped up for the boss coming back next week.  

This success should lead nicely into piece of work that also should be simple to complete and relied of this one being resolved.  I have hope again in the work context, remarkable considering the shockingly bad mood I started in.  So thankful I pulled it around, & that I can have a laugh with the IT guys.  Even got him to make baby steps of progress on someone else's project.  That is my defence if they ever complain about me being in the IT room too much.

A sound idea (inspired) to suggest to a dept manager at our meeting later this week.

Colleague went out at lunch & brought me the jelly babies I'd suggested. Yummy.

Lazy Saturdays

Reading in bed, my favourite thing to do in the morning.  Woke early enough to have a couple of hours snuggled into husband.  An insight into why I am so frustrated with work, & possibly a way forward, or at least a distraction.

My new jeans fit & I remembered to do some washing.

Caught up (messenger) with a couple of friends.  Got another paragraph written on an application.

Now to go hay shopping then off to see the bunnies. Plenty of time to everything I want to.

A bit of crystal homework done too...

Weekends

Learning stuff, thankful for the access to so much information.  That I can read & write & learn.  For those encyclopedias on the shelves at home growing up, & being encouraged in my hobbies.

Got my saxophone out last night (very thankful husband wears headphones a lot! 🤣). Thankful that I can indulge such things, that there is space and time to play.  

Got my letter finished & ready to send.  A lazy day with no demands on my time.  Found the seal for my bottle, so now I can stop pouring water down my front when I take a sip.

Thankful for the house, & cosy bed & relative quiet.

Lazy days

Didn't sleep well - easier to compensate for on a weekend than a weekday, I can nap all day long if the desire takes me :-)
Was well cuddled 😍  & had another blog piece accepted.  Friend came home early & is going to deal with bunnies today.
I have written another paragraph of my covering letter.  Finished one of my colourings.
Am enjoying husband being home. Resisted the urge to go crystal shopping.  Just remembered to get more bunny water bottles, am off to the shop now.  Very thankful there are corner shops within 1000 steps round trip.

Got home last night just after the van from next door that had apparently been blocking the drive all evening pulled off.  Thankful that when I come home I can get onto the drive, that I have a drive.  There's a Chinese & a chippie opposite (easy access to food) & very little bother with the customers cars.

Friends again

Thankful for my friends.  Chatting to someone new was fun.  Got to ask my questions at meet the managers, made my points.  Found friend's house easily.  Had the foresight to copy her address into my phone.  Had a lovely lunch, made the right choice sitting inside, made a good choice with the food too.  Got a little wet & that fine, plenty of steps on the walk.  Was really good talking to her, like her insights.
& then to meet another friend, was an interesting chat.  Plenty of messaging other friends, & bunnies are well & happy.  Vet tends to comment that they are happy & healthy.  Picked them up easily.  They are happily munching away.
Thankful for this blog too, is good reading it & remembering that things will be ok, & remembering things I enjoy.
Thankful for the resilience I have, that I can bounce.  I love to bounce!  So many things I love.

Me

I've had a reasonable week at work, I have things accomplished.  I met my boss & he knows I've done some work, & I have a plan for while he's away.   Caught my boss for a couple of things I wanted before he left for holiday.  Also informed him of a decision, I like being decisive & pro-active in front of him & I'm sure it's a pleasant relief for him (amongst all the people coming to him with questions at least mine, "I'm doing this - ok?").  I like that I am assertive too.  I had a pleasant conversation with a team leader, have also got her to agree to a few things I want.

My reading is sent.  My new crystal book's arrived.
The bunnies are well settled at my friend's house.  I'm getting better with her locks.  It's nice that she's given me a key & the freedom to come & go.  Plus she's generous.  Very thankful.  Bunnies have a new favourite treat of rose petals.

Taking things forgranted

I booked last minute holiday to mind my bunny.  My boss is ok with that.  He has mostly submitted my bereavement leave.  He suggested it so it was a simple painless conversation.
I have neighbours & friends to help out when needed.  & a car to get to the vets, & the shops.  I've got appointments outside work hours.
I have an application to write, which is reminding me how awesome I am, & given me hope.
Bunny seems back to her usual self now, & I think I am.  I am in a much better mood now.  I wonder if it is the funeral & the bunny...
