Support

Thankful I remembered to make myself inactive for readings, & that I did so before I got assigned one.
That we have plenty of space so I can get up & not disturb husband, that he can be up & not disturb me.
For the torch function on the phone so I can move around at night without putting the lights on.

That husband decided not to go to work because he knew I wasn't feeling good, & wasn't up to driving, & he wanted to stay home with me.

That I felt better after lunch & a friend did a tapping session with me.  That I made it to the woods & had a pleasant walk.  That I got my 10k steps.  That the calamine lotion is more calming on my arm than it was on my neck.

That I got enough of the desk cleared to have a crystal zone on it.  That I remembered to transfer money across to my UK account.  That I have abundance and am well supported, & am ok so far through the tablet withdrawal.

Lazy days

Thankful that I made it to the team meeting & had a laugh with the others, & that I had the day off.  That I'm feeling optimistic about the new counselling, & like her.  That I checked my email & noticed I'd got my number wrong.  That recording tunes for a friend helped me, & I remembered how much fun the thumb piano is.  That husband came to the supermarket with me, & I got more of the soup I like.  That I started on the new embroidery & am enjoying it.  That the wthdrawal / rebound effects are tolerable & the mirtazapine eases them.

Thankful for the support & encouragement I've been getting.

Doctors

Thankful to have got in with a doctor here.   That my boss is fine with me taking time off.  That I parked in the proper carpark rather than the short stay.  I mentioned the blood samples & so he gave them to reception.  That I avoided the heart rate monitor.

That I am coming off the tablets, which is what I wanted.  That my boss was fab as always & we'll see how it goes next week.  That I can go to the team meetings if I want a bit of company / chat, even while I'm off.

That I got to go to the woods & enjoyed it, that I got on my favourite machines, & onto the swing for a bit. & I got my 10k steps.

Home

Thankful work is close so I was able to pop home & get my tablet.  Glad I did.  That I got an insight into what coming off them will be like.

That a big piece of work is finally nearly over & we did another mile stone today.
That I got to say bye to a team mate who's leaving.
& this has reminded me to find another work mate on LinkedIn.

That I enjoyed lunch & had a calm time with husband, & that we got to leave afterwards.
That we got a work around for the urgent thing I was working on.

That I got to speak to the boss a little & he knows I want to talk to him tomorrow.

Hope

Recording meditations for others is helping me realise that I can do them on my own, I don't need guided meditations, & that brings a lot more freedom with it.  

Thankful they are enjoying them & I am, & that I've found the voice recorder on my phone.  That I made it to the supermarket with husband & had a walk around inside.

That I spoke to the doctor, & had a relaxing afternoon stitching & typing up my reading as I was waiting.  

For a call with a friend & setting up a support network, as I wait to see if any of the counsellors I contacted will get in touch.

Thankful that after having a square of chocolate I resisted having any more.

That I found a discount code for the course I was looking at.

That I learning to be calmer & there's hope of me coming of the tablets I'm not a fan of.
