Am also pleased for a little play with lego & now it's packed so there's no pressure to play with it.
Glad bunny takes her medication well, & is eating.  They seem to be used to the outside / inside routine now & the new hay container seems to suit them.  I helped husband out at work.
I'm up, properly.
Had a quick blast at tidying up.
Husband left me plenty of food so I've eaten.
I have plenty of time and no pressure
The new tablets have me less concerned.

weekend

Thankful I only missed one day, & am still in the grats habit.  That there was plenty of parking at the café, & we got a good table & were left alone.  That we had a good catchup, & it was nice to get a lift. That the bunny seems to be ok, & is eating & excreting.  That she took her meds ok, that I didn't have to catch her for her mid day ones.  That the others like the café, & we'll go there again.

Yesterday: that husband fed me & let me be.  That he spent time with me without asking questions.  That he's happy to look after me. & we went for a little walk.  Bunny took her medication ok.  Being able to drive, him fixing the hutch & having it done by the time I got Bonnie home.  For an old email address I found that I can use for readings.

That I got showered & dressed & collected my prescription & in the waiting time I managed to get my hair cut (without it being washed) & the hairdresser even used clippers like I asked.  & that she didn't talk much.  For a few bits & pieces I picked up while shopping, getting a good parking space, & my prescription being ready when I went back for it.
For the bunny staying an extra night in hospital for observation.
For husband, cooking me dinner & not minding that I don't eat it all, & for friends & concern.

Friends

Thankful for a friend who drove over to see me.  Thankful he's mobile again, & for the company, & the distraction.  Thankful for lunch, (that I saw the soup & it was one I like), & drinks, & chats. & for fresh coastal air!  & that a decent lunch means I can just pick at food tonight.  Thankful I bought myself plenty of treats yesterday so there're some goodies left.  Thankful friend has a new friend & is enjoying spending time with her.
Also thankful that when I showed him a new scraping it had all the pretty colours I was waiting to discover! & for a few things that I got packed today.
Thankful I had the sense to drop out of pilates & nap, & am feeling slightly better now.  & for my dressing gown & being able to lounge around comfy, & for my fleecy blankets, & meditation apps, & being able to meditate now (it's taken me a long time!)

Thankful to husband for getting me such a cool gift.  That I got the book case dismantled & advertised to give away. & for an understanding friend I've cancelled plans with.  & the extra time I have before needing to sort out the spare room.

Thankful bunnies are eating, & that the corner shop had hay (so I didn't have to drive anywhere) & that cabbage was a good choice & they tucked straight in. Also that I remembered their medication in the daylight & they took it.

Thankful for my bed, & that I am free to relax as I choose, for as long as I choose. & for a choice of hobbies to indulge in.

Holidays

Thankful that I woke in a good mood & got myself to work, that the bunnies are in good hands in the pet hospital.  That work went ok & I have a big chunk of the collation done, enough to take to the meeting with my boss anyway.  Thankful that I got an appointment with the rabbit specialist & that the bunnies were ok to discharge.  & that their teeth look ok, so they're not needing dental work.

That I had time for a nap & caught up with a few friends.  Thankful too for people to share things with, & that there was hot chocolate at the drink station at the vets yesterday so I knew to ask for it today - now I know where the secret stash is!

Thankful for supermarkets & being able to pop out & get food.  For tasty treats for both me & the bunnies.  That Kitty (the one they were more concerned about) is pooing & weeing, & I can see that Bonnie's having the occasional mooch around the run.  They have had a little nibble of things tonight, & they were eating in the hospital so probably ok for tonight.

Thankful for being able to take last minute holiday from work, & that my boss is good for things like that.  That the vet appointment is well timed for me to get to the doctors afterwards, & that I for the afternoon booked off without having to remember about the doctors.

& that we have a new hot chocolate machine that's easy to use so I can make my own drink while husband's away.  & that a friend is coming to see me tomorrow,

Car & driving

Am thankful I got up early, & the co-op had cauli.  That I can just book last minute holiday easily, & have the days to take.  That I can drive, & get myself places.  That I have friends for support & catching up, & have been making plans. That I managed to get the bunnies other treats they like & they've been having a nibble.

That I have a house, & food, & a bed.  For doing the crystal course & the people I've met.  For all my friends.  For being able to have a bad day & hide away & recover.

Crystals

Thankful that I was awake early enough, & had time to potter.  It was warm enough for no ice, & dry so travel was easy. & I got my favourite chair.   & that I did well in the practice session & knew what I was doing 😀
Thankful I have tomorrow morning off to keep an eye to on the bunnies, & that the co-op had sprouts & she seems to be eating them.  That husband went out to them for me, & has cooked me lunch. & caught up with neighbour for a while.

Thankful for caring people around me, & a warm house.  For some fantastic teachers & wonderful friends.  For hobbies, & ideas, & everything I have.
I'm reminded of grace, "for what I'm about to receive, may the Lord make me truly grateful".

Dry

Thankful for getting up early, energised & excited.  For getting myself to Parkrun, & for it being dry, & for them being friendly.  That one of the people I used to socialise with at training came & said hi & we had a little catch up.

That I am still cracking on with the packing, getting through the books.  Have a few more things packed up for charity.  Drinks in town were good, & we were on time.
That I have time to sort myself out for the course tomorrow.  That I had the sense to have yesterday as a maintenance day & am better for it today.  That I remembered to get cash.

That my jeans dyed, & I've just remembered to put the wash cycle on.

Friends

Thankful I had the day off to rest, & that I remembered husband's parcel.
Got parked, & that an easy reversing space came available as I was trying to straighten up forwards
That friend arrived as I was waiting for a table, & we got one straight away, that there was something on the menu I like.  & that we had a leisurely lunch & not much stroll.  The next café was fun & we got to sit like kids swinging our legs.  A good afternoon & a little time in the woods waiting to collect husband.  & I got home in time for a nap, & that's sorted me out for a while.  Glad it was dry for the day.
Change camp is open, & there look to be interesting presentations.  Husband is cooking dinner for me  & will make food for while he's away.

Grats

Colleague asked me about grats & I got a few minutes of walk reeling them off.  It was nice to have an upbeat conversation, & has hopefully given him something to think about.  Plus it was an easy opportunity to say the negativity was getting to me & to turn it around.
I got a "good" from my boss, casually in response to some work I was showing him.  I am so happy.  I am so thankful to be in a position where I can walk away from work, & that I know it's the right decision & husband is supportive.
Lunch was good, the new one was chatty.
One of my friends is also reducing her hours so hopefully I'll get to spend some time with her.

The scratch book husband got me is really enjoyable & I think I'm getting better at it.  It looks good.

Looks like plenty of people are coming to the pub, should be good.
Thankful my dad got his present & is happy with it & it fits.
& that I got my exit questions done without getting upset or being too negative.

Wednesday 8 January 2020

The home straight

The meeting with my boss was ok, thankful I got through it ok.  That I got in earlier than usual & had an excuse to email him to point it out 😆
That I made it to Pilates, that I'm back on a roll with packing, that boss has agreed to me taking holiday to do 4 day weeks, that I got my acknowledgement letter & am finishing a week earlier than expected.  That I've been in a fab mood since.  Lunch was really good fun today.

Parcel arrived, something to look forward to after tech off time.  Started new present from husband, is fun.  He got me an upgrade on the tool too.
All is well.

Support

Thankful friend in Australia is ok.
Had a nice, helpful chat with the nurse.
So thankful to be in a position to take a "sabbatical" from work, & to know that this is the right thing to do.
Progress with a couple of little things at work, & am ready for a meeting with my boss tomorrow.
Husband has saved loads of veg for the bunnies.
Have packaged up friend's chocolate before husband saw it ;-)
All is well

Good mood

Thankful we got up before the alarm, & in time to get to the post office.  That husband was able to collect my parcel even with a different surname.
That I remembered to order my dad's present - that I found it for him too!  That I remembered to ask about something at work & thus declutter a few things.
That the rain held off til we were in the car at hometime. 

That I was in a good mood most of the day, & held off the tiredness til I was home & fed, (& husband had finished talking to me).  A quick nap reset me.  That friends are coming to my training session tomorrow so it'll be fun. I got my list finished for my boss so that pressure's off.  That HR have rescheduled my nurse appointment for this week so there's no time to worry about it.  Getting excited with husband. 

That friend got home ok in his beast without negative consequences, that he is recovering. 

That someone else really appreciated the Reiki I sent them, & it worked.
