Survived

Got up in time to shower 
Enjoyed breakfast with friends
The day passed painlessly 
Niece is home and feeling better
Remembered my tablet
Had another look at the testing and understand it a bit
Was sunny and I got my walk to the canteen and to the smoke hut rather than sitting in the canteen
Friend has found a house she likes

Remembered to phone my mum for mother's day and got a bonus chat with my dad 
Relaxing day 
Glad I have relaxing hobbies like the cross stitch
Husband made me breakfast just as I was fancying toast it was ready

Relaxing

Was only drizzle when I walked to the chemist
Got all the items I wanted
Have one more prescription so have enough for my holiday
The hazels are starting to get leaves, including the new one
All the plants seem to be doing well
Saw a huge bumble bee in the blossom behind
Enjoyed the new game
a relaxing day getting back into the cross stitch

Weekend

Got straight to the servers in the canteen & managed to get a long table
Friend sat with other office mates

Survived the day
Glad we weren't needed & that they finished early

The game husband's been looking at is available.on BGA so we can try it out
We have right size sleeves for the latest new game
Headphones last til just before lunch so I left them charging over the break while I didn't need them

Weather was nice for walking break and then husband was ready for a break once I got back so I got a bonus one, & we were inside for the worst of the rain

Finished the show we were watching and mostly satisfied by the ending

Quiet time

Managed to get parked at work

Had the quiet room to myself, glad I took my headphones too

Met the boss on the way back to the office and he let me into a hideaway til I felt better 

The others were concerned and also left me alone when I needed it

Managed to have a laugh too

Husband ordered us a new game that looks good

Plus some really nice chocolate 

Pizza for dinner 

Husband spends time with me and leaves me alone when I need it

Fun

Work was better today
Breakfast was fun and not my suggestion, then I got back just as another team mate was going for a drink so I joined him.  Had a good catch up
Glad I didn't join them in the canteen for lunch.  I can fit under the end desks with my feet up on the drawers, is well hidden behind the chairs. 
The next audiobook came available today so I had a pleasant half hour listening to that
Also had a selection of tea breaks this afternoon And managed to work right through to 5pm after my hour off
Found some work I'd forgotten about from a while back

Relief

10am bacon perked us up, we were all ready for the break.  It was fun. And the bacon was perfectly done for me

I got my desk, & husband got a desk in the office too.

Got parked in the carpool space.

Lunch was fun too & I enjoyed the noodles

Came back from a walk just in time to catch the others going for air so I got to join them too

Got to leave earlier than expected

Got the big chunk of work finished today

Fun

Slept better, and had a lie in to finish my book
Glad it had a good ending 
Got parked right by the entrance in a car pool space
Got the room emptied when I needed it
The one who turned up in person said it was really informative and has learnt loads
She's also going to follow up with their tasks that need closing 
Discovered why they couldn't log on (weren't following the instructions)
Had a laugh with colleagues
Husband got me new treats to replace the ones I finished yesterday 
Am enjoying the new game and game solo a try which is also fun - would consider taking it to games night

Bonus

Thankful for the bonus day off

Made it to Lidl and back with husband

Thankfully I don't need to go to SuperValu til tomorrow

They had the fish pie we like so I bought them and a bag to bring them home

Found a fundamental flaw in my analysis to base the critical evaluation on

Very nearly finished the report, have the short questions done 

Enjoying the new game and has a solo mode for me to play when husband's not interested

Plenty of fruit today

Got through the day without a nap

Managed to discover the top half of the cross stitch is half stitches, before I'd done any wrong 😁



Sunday, 16 March 2025

Baby steps

Got up and did a bit more on the report.  Have the first half of the short questions tidied up.

Am hopeful I can get enough done to scrape a pass

Husband ordered dinner while I had a nap, is enough left for lunch tomorrow.

New game arrived, has really nice pieces and I think the cards are fine not to sleeve, husband has agreed we can play it tomorrow

Supermarket was empty, we got all the bottles into the machine and I got a good parking space

Friend told me about a few short story competitions for after I get my assignment done.  Even if I don't enter they look like interesting prompts.

Glad I have the freedom to nap and be off work as I need, and that I don't have many obligations or demands on my time

Progress

Found a game husband was looking for and have it coming this week

Nothing urgent so a fairly easy day

Started watching a show a friend recommended - is funny
Husband made me hot chocolate to watch TV with

Long weekend to rest up 

The needle I thought I'd lost on the bed turned up without much looking - on the magnetic hematite of my bracelet.  Big phew!

More rest

My boss being easy to deal with and being able to take the day off
For the online library collection and books
Having a feeling good book I enjoyed, to finish and fill the day in an easy fashion
For being able to pick up an old cross stitch and fill in some of the gaps
That colouring the pattern helps me keep track and figuring out it can be grey pencil instead of colours
Workmate checking in on me
Feeling better now
That I can abandon the assignment and put it off til later.
Having the ability to make that choice instead of forcing myself to continue 
Evidence of plenty of other things that I've finished

Time off

Glad I waited with him, it was just a check-up (not a scan)

Found something to eat in the food court, & know in future it's better to eat at the hospital

Got all the bottles returned, & husband remembered to spend the vouchers

Someone waited back before a cross hatch so I had room to pull through it

Enjoyed my afternoon off & got a short story written & submitted

Heard back from my old tutor about some work I sent him, complementary as always, & I learnt a new descriptor
