woods & plans

Thankful I got my study mojo back & picked up my course work, that I have the bulk of it done.

For reaching out to someone & making plans, & the plans grew.  Am proud of myself.  Also that making a decision to give something up has instant results of something else being available.

Husband cooked a yummy dinner, & remembered a film that I wanted to watch when I suggested we watch a film.  That he takes good care of me.

For my calm, drama-free life, & I am better at not getting sucked into other people's drama now.

Also, that I escaped my previous workplace, & this new one is so much better. It's been great for getting me back on my feet, & helping me realise what I need.

That it was a pleasant day & I got to the woods, which were quiet & I got parked easily.

Work

Got left alone to get on with work, & managed to finish the document I was working on.  Also got the diagram I wanted made in draw & copied into the document.

Remembered to link in the associated requests & am proud of myself for remembering that.

Also that husband is trained to bring me hot chocolate now, even when he doesn't mean to lol.

That we have the weights & bench & husband trains with me - & that we didn't have to go anywhere in the bad weather.

Team meeting was a laugh, I like the team 

Reflections

Husband did weights with me, glad that I brought some of the weights & the bench, & that he does them with me - even if he's not doing them himself he watches me to ensure I have good form.

That I took myself to the woods rather than hang around, & I enjoyed the walk.  The drizzle cleared up & I enjoyed a wander down a different path.  & I got back to the car just as he was heading into his appointment so I got back to the meeting place just before him.

That I get my day off, & enjoyed a lie in, needed the sleep.  The session I logged in for was ok, & I finished the other things I agreed to do.  The initial panic wore off as I remembered I was confused about the days, & I have time to sort everything out tomorrow.  That I am calmer in general.

I'm enjoying the tiger & have made loads of progress today, along with some modifications that're lost in the pattern now.

That I had time to review my notes before counselling & am loving the notebook I chose.  

Enjoyed creating a grid for a friend & have let go of the need for her to live up to my ideals around thank you, the pleasure was in the creating regardless of whether or not she appreciates it.  

That I have a good toolkit, & flexibility to choose to act different depending on circumstance.  & that I'm ok with missing yesterday's grats & combining them with today's - even though posts can be backdated now.

Husband made me lunch, & then made me hot chocolate tonight & seems happy to do so.  That he is so sweet & lovely, & that we have a calm, happy life.  Glad to be free of the drama that previous associations bring.

Rightly Impressed

Thankful I had a good sleep, & a lie in snuggling with husband.

That work was easy & I got to figure out some new stuff - the boss told me I'd be able to & that was a better option than trying to find someone to help.

The new potato things husband thought I'd like are yummy - he was right.

I have a half day tomorrow & am already planning to get myself to the woods instead of waiting around in the car.  Happy I braved going to the woods, that I'm proud of myself for being brave. & that I can (& do) make decisions.

There's enough milk for me to have breakfast tomorrow.

Friend appreciated the link I sent on, & maybe we'll get to some workshops together - looking forward to it.

Calm & happy

Walk at the woods was good, weather was nice, friendly group.  Newbie joined us part way round, & was happy enough with that.    The social afterwards was enjoyable too.

Had less greasy lunch & enjoyed it, also declined rice which was better.  Nothing grabbed my attention at the crystal stall & we don't feel the need to go again - the weather stayed good & we enjoyed the drive.

Friend reminded me about the census so that's taken care of now.

Cleared off the drawers & have that surface as for games now.  Enjoyed playing again, & have enough done for insights.  Glad I bought it, & am wondering how to run a meetup playing it - once the weather improves we can play it outside somewhere, potentially at the woods.

Am wondering about giving up the tablets altogether which I'm seeing as a good sign, there was a time I was resigned to taking them.

Spoke to my brother, & looked up flights to England.  Flights plus coach is feasible for getting to home town too.

Driving

Thankful for a lazy day, for having me-time to enjoy my hobbies.

That the well-being app includes workouts & some are short enough to hold my interest.

That it started raining as soon as I left the house on foot so I knew to drive down rather than getting soaked.  That even though the car park was busy, I got a space.

The health food shop sells crystal bracelets & I picked up some lovely ones today. That I got to see the craft stalls in the shopping centre & had a lovely chat with one of the stall holders.  Happy to be able to support someone who was brave enough to have a stall for the first time today, & it was dry as I took my painting back to the car.  

That there were plenty of tills open in the supermarket & I easily found what I wanted.

For friend recommending the audio subscription - I'm really enjoying it.

Work

Glad I went to work & got to chat, was also useful to have in person conversations.

& got a lunchtime walk in.  Husband finished in time for the viewing, & it's a definite no - spares any dither.  Although I did love the house.  Shows the difference between asking if the house is good for me, or good for us.  That my friend did the dowsing for us, 

That lunch was really nice, & still free.

That the boss came to the team meeting & I got everything I needed to asked.  That I had a nice easy day.

That I have a calm life, restful.  & meetup is allowing me to meet likeminded people.  That there are options for meeting new people & finding my crowd.  That I'm starting to find my voice & my people.
