Clean

Thankful the painting got finished yesterday & it looks good.

That the carpet washer was already at the house and instructions were easy to follow.  Carpet came up nice and was starting to dry out when we went back. 

That husband finished it off - it was hard work!  

The traffic had eased when we went back to the shop & managed to be right outside the shop when husband came out with the dehumidifier.

That the shopping centre we went to was quiet & we picked up a few things.

Found the needle I dropped on the bed. 

Chairs were easy to assemble & table is arriving before Christmas.  Delivery window tomorrow has reduced to 4 hours from all day so I can have a lie in.

Excited

Glad husband came to the house with me.  That we got there and back safely. 

That the bins have arrived and are now behind the locked gate.

For him taking a half day and us not needing to for to work. 

For heating and having a safe warm comfortable house.

That the painter has finished and it all looks good.

I remembered to order the rest of the dining chairs at sale price and they'll come in to local store.

Getting on better at work, calmer and still having good ideas.

For Internet and friends and being able to message friend during the day.  That we have a laugh.  For Pilates on zoom and the new Friday chill our session that I mostly make.  And for husband doing weights with me. Looking forward to getting the heavier weights and being able to progress.

Glad husband is excited about house & we've now got one of the rooms mapped out.  That he helped me design the storage unit for my crystals etc.

Supported

Thankful for my Wednesdays off and for having a counsellor I like.  For being able to have a lie in, and that i've found a way to be comfy in the office. 

That counselling has been fun lately, and today giving her a little tour got me my 250 steps so I managed the full 9/9 which is an achievement.

That I got the cash for the painter, that the credit union is a pleasant place to be and has its own decently sized carpark. 

That I got to the post office and got my stamps and got my parcel and first lot of Christmas cards posted.  Remembered to message aunt for her address.

That the Internet is getting transferred quicker than expected so we'll be in next week.  Got the mattresses ordered so they'll be here next week too - hopefully before we're sleeping in the new house.  

The sack barrow husband wanted was in stock at screwfix and we called into the furniture shop next door.  The assistant recognised us and knew why we were there.

That the gaming is fun and the barman made my hot chocolate.  That we were inside in the warm and we played a new game - love experiencing the new games.  Also for the recognition that the gaming and meetup in general is an important part of my wellness plan.

Thankful everything is coming together with the house.  Thankful for my friends and being able to have a laugh.  And for husband, feeling very lucky with the people around me.

Home progress

Thankful phone volume was on so I heard plumber ring.  That there'd been a cancellation so he could fit us in today.  The boiler is fine & he showed me how to work the controls.

I knew exactly where the bill with the ref he needed was, & the to & fro got me a good chunk of my 10k steps.  

The painting is coming along nicely, & husband came round with me to look at it.  Found the notebook with the room measurements in so they're all in the same place.

That my boss is flexible & I was able to take the time to get to the house as needed.  That I made it into work with husband & got to speak to team.  Team meeting was a laugh as usual, & I needed it.  The boss joined in too.  Managed to help a few colleagues, & found the easy- guide that I'd last sent to a different colleague.  Glad I found it & it came in handy.  Also that I finally managed to help husband out.  Nice to be able to do that, usually he's the one helping me.

Nice surprise reward from work today.  Tis a good place to work.  Glad to be back on my feet and have the experience, and that I am seeming to be getting more used to it.  

Thankful for ebooks and the library collection, for being able to read in bed without disturbing husband.  Thankful too for my day off and counselling.  

Library

Team meeting was a good laugh, as was the usual weekly meeting.

Got round to the house in good time for the painter & enjoyed the few things I unscrewed.  Remembered to bring home the screwdriver.  Called back round later & like the colour - matches the wardrobes well. 

Glad to be getting the steps in, & that I made some of Pilates.

Excited about the library, I've always wanted one. Husband has started the process of transferring the internet.  I finally remembered to contact the removals company to ask for a quote.

Others volunteered for the week between Christmas & New Year so I don't need to.

House

Thankful to be awake & able to start early.

For having the energy to do star jumps & a quick workout.

That I had an easy day workwise, 

That I had a fabulous weekend, enjoyable evening shopping with friend.  

Remembered to collect steps & hoover.  Got locks & oil-filled radiators, & a radiator key.  Got a nice kettle too, & remembered to take cups & drinks supplies to house.

Got cobwebs hoovered up & curtains taken down, & we got the heating working - very relieved.

Enjoyed walk & workshop & both friends turned up to latter.  

Still happy

Still in a good mood :)

Had a reasonable day at work & managed to get through a chore of a task successfully.  Boss was happy with me sticking on an out of office and ignoring everyone.

Team meeting was a good laugh, & I can take the full time off at Christmas if I want.

The dining chairs we like are reduced even further, & there's a store 30 mins away with loads in stock so we've decided to get more.

Got my favourite sales assistant at the sofa shop, pleased it was her who got our order & we had a pleasant interaction.  Also got free assembly on the table, & I can either get the bean bag chair delivered with the table or collect it myself from the store.

Made the effort to go to Pilates & managed nearly all of it before dinner arrived.

Checked the weather & it's going to be mild til next weekend.

Friend has sent me the advent colouring, our annual tradition - I'd forgotten about it til he messaged
