Rest

Thankful I have a supportive boss who is happy for me to come and go as I need to.   That I've taken breaks as I need to this week and am getting through the work however slowly.

That the dentist did my filling without comment and spared me the lecture this time.  The crown repair still looks in good shape and my next appointment is after my holiday.

Friend has a day off next week which I'm looking forward to.  Am pleased to get to spend some proper time with her.  Am excited about the trip.

Workmate is on the same ferry as me - will be good to have a little bit of company.   Made for a fun chat at team meeting, & the boss had a laugh with us about it - sometimes he does.  Glad I am in a good team & we do get to have a laugh.  And the boss joins in / let's us.  It's important for the team.

Thankful for access to health care, the doctor, the dentist.  And for having a job, & friends.  Thankful for being able to enjoy my life, & keep sight of my blessings even when I'm struggling.

Work

Thankful that I am off the tablets, & can go out driving again.

That I made the effort to go to craft club & got the evening to myself.  That I figured out the pattern & resumed the shawl I was taking there.  Proud of myself for being able to learn new skills.

Person I wanted to speak to started the meeting & I got straight in to chat & ask my question.  He helped me through what I needed to do & it works!  Glad I was brave, & made the effort.  Also that I got brownie points for trying, & more for succeeding!

Another thing that was wrong got fixed together, & I made baby steps of progress on that too - & enjoyed some chats with tech support.  That I am in good shape for what I need to do next.

That I am remembering that I'm not responsible for what other people do or don't do - & I got to have a chat with a friend so I wasn't sat in a meeting alone.

Friends

Thankful for friends to chat with, & for support.

That the oven didn't break til after the meat was cooked (& the meat was lush).

For husband taking care of the meals, & spending the afternoon watching tv with me so I could snuggle in on the sofa.

That I seem to be ok on the new tablets, and that I feel better knowing there's hope.

Finally got the unpicking done & am still enjoying that piece.

Healthcare

Thankful for my 4 day week, & getting to take it easy.  That my contract's getting extended - reassuring in terms of the boss being happy with my work, & in terms of not needing to worry about finding a replacement with reduced hours.

That I got a same day appointment & made it in to see the doctor.  That we can afford the doctors and prescriptions and healthcare & that we managed to get registered.  & he's a good doctor.

That I went to woods, and enjoyed a wander down my favourite path.  That I also managed to jog a little to make it back to the car, & my parking angel did me proud on the drive to the doctor's = all 3 turnings with no traffic.  Getting stuck behind a tractor on the way to the woods & on the way home were irrelevant, I could take my time on those stretches, & they both turned off.

That I have friends to share with, & husband is understanding.

For the weather being good while I was at the woods, & when I went to the supermarket, & that I remembered a bag.

Survived

Thankful I live near enough work to get home for a nap at lunch- & I had the sense to do so.

For the toolkit I have and using it- returned to work confident I'd get through the afternoon.  Which I did and we just left in time while I was still functioning. 

Glad of my day off and the audit being finished.  That when questioned in a meeting I spoke up confidently and was correct in what I said - that the boss quickly confirmed what I asked.   Husband was on the call and said i was clear and concise in what I said.  Glad he was there to comment.  

That I remembered I had left overs and enjoyed them for tea.  That I figured it how my cross stitch was wrong and the unpicking is OK.

Calm

Thankful husband takes cares of the food, & the shopping.  That there is little that I have to do.

That I made it out to the woods, & the weather held.  I had an enjoyable walk, glad I made the effort. Also that we got fuel the other day so I don't have to concern myself with that for a while.

Have a good collection of books to read, & audio to listen to.

That I stopped being stubborn & am sewing in the guidelines, & that I noticed I'd miscounted before I'd done too many.

That I get to take it easy, & rest.  That I only need one day at work & then I get another recovery day.

Contact said she felt better after the Reiki, am glad I sent it.

Safe & cared for

Got parked ok, got to work on time.  Survived the day after working half yesterday.

Husband waited for me so I had company at lunch, & shared the meat which was really yummy.  I am so blessed to be with him, he's fantastic.  

He also remembered to get my requests when he went shopping, & is happy for me to stay in the car.

The delivery was on the door step when we got home.

Husband got my favourite bread again.

Easy days

Appreciated my morning off.  Glad of the time to chill, and that I got to create a grid and pick crystals for my pocket.  

That I have workmates and enjoyed lunch with them.  Enjoying the more laid back pace - getting more used to it.

More baby steps of progress on the project, and a chat with another workmate.  And another had the chance to shine and help me out.

Got a space in the carpark at work - phew! And home at a reasonable hour.  

Glad my job provides a little challenge but is well within my capabilities
