Outings

Thankful for husband working from home & not wanting a lift.  That counselling was light.

For finally getting out & mowing the lawn, & the cuttings all fitting in the compost bin & it staying dry while I mowed.   For being inspired to go to the sensory gardens & really enjoying it, cool new mosaics to see.

Husband remembering his appointment just in time, & going to the local gardens meant I was home to take him.  That we got there on time, & the take away there meant I got to eat in time to make gaming.

Glad I went to gaming, am enjoying the group & the games.  Also that I took a hoodie for when it got cooler, & got back to the car & home ok.

That husband paused his game to talk with me.

For being able to drive, & braving new things so I know where to go now.

House

Thankful was listening when agent told us about the house, & that we got a viewing. Offer is accepted & paperwork is underway.  Glad husband likes it too, more than the one we were looking at before.

That working late yesterday let me have a lie-in today when I needed it.  & that I have the flexibility to do so.  That can leave work whenever & was home in time for a nap.  Did as much as I reasonably could today before getting stuck on everything.

For husband remembering to ask if I wanted anything as he did the online shop.  Thankful we get home delivery here, & will at new house.  That he remembered to ask what I wanted for dinner which was good because it wasn't what he was thinking.

That I got to speak to a contact on her last day, & lunch was interesting with different people.  Have the chance to be friendly with a colleague in another dept so she won't be eating alone.  Also, people have been chattier lately, & someone else is going to lend me books.

That someone I was looking for on linkedin found me & saved me the bother.  The job in the team is now being advertised.

Reinforced a boundary with a friend and am proud of myself.

Got to speak to the boss in person since we were in the office together, & managed to get that progressed too.  Thankful for my boss & my team. That I had a word with someone in passing & got the info I needed that her colleagues hadn't included me on.  That I was seen to do my bit.

Thankful to be feeling better, that the tablets are working.  Small mood wobble at work, & I know I need to work on my resilience to feeling criticised. 

Progress

Remembered to take my tablet, & was still able to get up at a reasonable time.

Boss checked in once he noticed me online this morning.  I'm feeling much better now (tonight) & calmer about the work stuff.  Had a good day at work.  The first wave of things has magically come to completion, & the boss must've done his bit getting the others lined up to do stuff.

Also figured out how to use the new system, so should be ok for that tomorrow.  Gave the projects a final glance - glad I did because there are still a few corrections that need done.  Remembered to route the document I was supposed to take care of last week.  & worked a bit late to get things progressed in the morning while I have a lie-in.  Found a yoga video I like, & 

Had lunch with the others at 12 which was fun, & they had wedges = my favourite.  Also there wasn't a walk which I was relieved about because I still had my heavy boots on.

Got the urgent thing as done as I can for now, & finished reviewing something else that's fairly high priority.  & finally remembered to put a measuring tape in my bag.

Got to the house at a good time & husband is very interested in it.  Thank you universe & manifestation crystal.  Glad I was paying attention when she first mentioned it (husband missed it).  Feeling hopeful.

Days out

Thankful I went out to meet friend & she made it too.  That I got there in good time, & found a good parking spot.  That it was a nice day for sitting outside, also glad we found the cafe shop rather than meeting at the tea rooms.  

That the drive there reminded me how far I've come, unconcerned about getting lost, or being late really.  Starting to get to know my way around.

That I change the post time & date so if I remember I can keep up a daily habit.

Had a reasonably healthy lunch & resisted dessert, esp since no-one else was having any.

No side effects from the new medication.

That I know plenty of places to go now, & I friend I was thinking of got in touch.

Woods

Thankful the walk went well, nice people & pleasant chats.  The weather was good, & I got there just as the first attendee did.

That I got straight out onto the main road, & managed the trip home.  That I remembered the letters & dropped them off.

For husband having lunch ready, & I remembered the chicken from yesterday.  That I got a parking space in the carpark I wanted, collected my library books & met him at the stall as we were both heading to the car.

For having enough tablets left to cover me til the order comes into the chemist on Monday, & I got plenty of steps because of this morning's walk.

Husband doing weights with me, & helping me be more consistent.  & that typing here has reminder me to add them to the tracker.

Have confirmed meeting friend tomorrow, looking forward to it.  Then can start the new tablets tomorrow.

That I feel better than I did yesterday,  still shaky enough to know the new meds are necessary.

Doctor

Very thankful to have registered with a doctor here.  That I got an appointment today, called in at the woods, & made it on time.  That I took a book & was enjoying reading it.  

The doctor has seen me enough times to know I was really off form today, & made the conversation easy.  He agreed to up the dose of my current medication, & has started me on a new one.  The drive was easy, & I got straight out of the turnings. Thank you parking angel.

That I had a nice chat with my boss, & we have a plan for next week.  Also got to chat with mentor buddy for the first time in ages, he's refreshingly easy to deal with.

Husband ordered dinner for me, & chose well (as usual).  Very thankful for husband, sweet & caring.

Also his friend is visiting next weekend so we're going out for dinner, & husband booked the restaurant.

Rest

Thankful for being able to rest, for the flexibility of work allowing me to take time off when I need to, & having an understanding boss.

That I got to lie & see how I felt, & then go back to bed. For audiobooks and podcasts, activities I can do lying down my eyes shut, & as I felt a bit better I have crafts that're easy to do while lying down.

That we got to the house safely, had a good look around, & found out about another.  That there are still potential properties around.

That husband made lunch, & there was plenty of food available in the house.  That there's milk & he made me hot chocolate.

There's plenty of colours I need for the rainbow & I'm enjoying doing it.  It's coming along nicely.
