Calm

Thankful to be invited out at lunch, & that I went.  Brave enough to ask for hot chocolate & got one, also there was some food left & it was ok.  That the people who came after were good company & got sat with me & I enjoyed the chat.  Also glad I pointed out the letter or it would've been lost in the squares.

That I got to speak to my boss today.  Everything is generally ok when I speak to him, calm & acceptable.  He knows I work hard & am good at my job.  My other issue got easily and simply sorted too.  Pretty much got all my questions answered.

Had a good chat with team mates too, & got brownie points for taking care of an urgent (last minute) task.  Glad I didn't upload my document because it wasn't finished.

For a lie-in this morning, & reading in bed.  Am loving the borrowers, fiction makes a nice change.

That I took husband to the supermarket & the queues were down by the time we were finished.

Made a flower square which I'm pleased with too, & a couple of people are coming with me to the walk so there'll be some good company.

Friends

Thankful that I was in good time for my appointment & fitted in a trip to the library.  The book is bigger than expected though during the wait at the dentist I finished the one I was reading.  The audiobook I currently have out is fascinating - I love learning.  & bits of it remind me of other books (that I can remember) so I am relieved that my memory still works.

A friend was supportive as usual today & really cheered me up over a problematic work situation.  & another work mate that I was explaining a process to is really appreciative.  There have been plenty enough examples of me explaining things well to people to counteract an on-going bad experience.

That as I was thinking I would like cheesey garlic bread husband said he wanted a kebab.  

I got a bit more of the grass mowed & into the compost.

Remembered to hang husband's washing, that mine was dry to allow that.

There was a spare desk so when I went to collect husband from work I was able to sit for a while & finish off my document corrections.  That one of the friendliest of the downstairs crowd held the door open for me & helped me find the document.

That I got a lovely message of one of the volunteer centre staff & a look forward to seeing you tomorrow from her.  Taking a half day today but working most of the day gives me time for a long lunch at the event.

That I got the square finished on the big (plain metal) hook so now my finger can recover as I use a cushion hook.  Glad I discussed it with a friend when I was buying them & went with her recommendation.

Lazy days

Thankful I have access to counselling & healthcare, that I got my tablets collected, & it was dry while I popped round.

That husband mopped the floor when he thought I was having people round & I have hoovered a bit since too.

That he's agreed to keeping a list of what we're ordering & whether we like it or not (he didn't like the donner yesterday & I didn't like the pakora but he said the bhaji was the best).  & he's rearranged the viewing.

That I friends to chat with, & another friend rang tonight to see how we are.  That I have my 4 day week, & can take it easy when needed.

That I got invisible thread the other day, it's handy to have what I need when I decide to craft.  & a lovely selenite bar to make friend's present.  Thankful for the people in my life.

Socials

Thankful I made it to craft club, that masks off & the tables are pushed together so it's a better social experience now, & we had group chats so it was more balanced.

The cushion cover is ready to be filled now - it looks reasonable.

That I got my letters posted & have remembered to send the email.

That we have a better lunch experience now, & the soup was ok.

Husband sorts out dinner, & we went back to curry house tonight - enjoyed it.

Was calmer once wearing my new chakra wand, & the day was ok.  Glad I made it, & the friend coming tomorrow loves it too so that's what we'll be making.  Glad I'm starting to get to know people, & get to things.  & that I remembered about the walk on Sat so husband can rearrange the viewing.

People

Thankful that I can go to work or not, & that the office was quiet & I got a good desk, & a spare mouse.  That it didn't matter than I wasn't prepared for the day, still getting used to the laidbackness of everything.  Lunch was nice & we got our walk in, & I got plenty of steps with going up to the other dept too.

Friends are coming round during the week, & another library book is ready for me to collect.  Thankful for the library & being able to read, & all the things I have access to.  That I have a life outside work, & people to socialise with.  For having a house & heating & running water, & electricity.

That I have a team to have lunch with, & nights out are resuming.

Perking up

Glad I made it to the zoom, & there were other people there - really enjoyable session.  

That it as fine weather & I made it to the woods, pleasant time & I got to go on the swings too.  That's how I should've answered about I create that feeling of space in my life.

That husband left me to cook the bacon without interfering & I got to do some hula hooping while I waited.

That I got to play with my dragons again.

The thinnest leather husband gave me works for the chakra necklace.

Hobbies

Thankful I've perked up, that the chakra wand turned out really nicely,  Glad I got the wire the other day, & that I have the chips & selenite bars.

That I finally got my coursework finished & sent, & had a nice few messages with friends today (ones that I don't often speak to).

That we checked out where the house is & it looks fine, & was quiet.  That the carpark was fairly empty & husband got what he needed.

We managed to get the duvets swapped over, & the old one into the new one's packaging so hopefully it'll fit in the bin.  & the bedding is changed, I love fresh bedding, glad husband helps with the duvet cover. 

That I've got the hang of the star stitch now, & have a decent collection of squares to hand over on Friday.

I finally wrote the envelope for the nursing home letter & it's ready to post, & I've got a letter written to a friend too, plenty of time to get to the post office.

It was dry enough for me to mow a bit more lawn, & I got it done before it rained.
