Starting

Thankful I got to the house & made a start with the packing,

That I got the bin out in time to be collected.

Remembered to phone my parent's & friend, & had a nice chat with each of them.  & remembered to message another friend.

Dinner was nice, as always, & husband had the bacon on for me getting home at lunch.  That husband decided to eat the short-dated chocolate rather than let me donate it (because it's gone white & unattractive).

Thankful I made the meditation session & enjoyed it.  That we had a nice chat as well, & same guy is running a bonus session this week.

Pleased with myself for thinking of moving the handles on the skipping rope to extend its life.  Glad that I'm enjoying the skipping, & that it's been dry when I've been out to do it.

1. Looking forward to the cabinet being built & my boots having a home, & being able to unpack the rest of them, & my crystals having a home too.  That frees up shelves for the jigsaws to be unpacked.
2. Looking forward to friend returning from her holidays, & being able to hang out
3. Looking forward to tomorrow & having chocolate in my next eating window.

Social

Thankful the weather was good for the walk, & that we went for a cuppa after - glad I suggested it, & that I braved invited someone round to help me pack & continue the chat.

That there was plenty of parking at the garage, & I got home in good time for lunch.

For husband doing the cooking, & making nice meals.

That I was outside & got to see the fireworks, that I've managed to get out each day for the skipping, & am still quietly plodding on with the unpacking - & husband has been doing some as well.  That he's going to organise the skip, & the new microwave.

For a few conversations with friends today, including some I rarely speak to.

Holidays

Thankful to be off work, that I logged on & took care of what I needed to & it didn't take long.

That we reconsidered the crystal cupboard & getting it in white means I can get it delivered so we went with that, plus husband found a boot solution. & it was easy to use the pre-paid card online.

Remembered to check the meter and get more credit put on the gas.  That husband came shopping & I still got back in time for Pilates.  & got to speak to friend at the end & organise the next workshop, plus she's happy to have another one in the summer when I'm over.

That I didn't walk round to the dry cleaners with the curtains - they were shut.

That the plans have been sorted out now, with stuff being collected, & our trip to IKEA (which is way more appealing now we're not having to bring a flatpacked wardrobe home).

That I managed to stick out half an hour in the beer garden on my own - extending my comfort zone, & I remembered to post the letters.  & I missed the worst of the rain.

That we had a pleasant walk & chat, & it stayed dry for it.  Have found a new home for the crystal glasses - very happy it's saved me a trip to the charity shop with one box.  That new friend is mostly free so we can have Wednesday afternoon plans.

Have managed to meet my goals for the day, walk at the woods & unpacked a box - can see progress in the unpacking.

Organised

Thankful I put the bins out "just in case" even though I was first in both streets.

That we got the chairs collected and all the pieces were there for the single one.

That I found more sleeves and they fit new game. That I risked saying I'd like to go anyway and got added to the WhatsApp group & gaming is still on.  Very pleased with myself - was disappointed when I thought it wasn't on.

For getting myself to the woods & I was back in the car before it rained.  Found the games and brought them round, & found the dice. Proud of myself for the recording the box contents as I did.

That I found the proof of address letters so we can call into the bank and change address.  

That it occurred to me to call in to the shop and i got what I was after. 

Thankful to have the week off - plenty of time to unpack and do chores.  That the house is really nice & cosy - am loving it.  Better than if we've'd stayed put.

Happy

Thankful for the gaming session, same people from before so I'm getting to know them.  Enjoyed the games, & another player commented on how good it is to be paying that with people who know how to play.  Board game arena is a good host & I'm enjoying the stats.

Enjoyed chatting with friends and heard from a few I wasn't expecting to.

Remembered to phone my parents.  Dad has given us money which is a relief, & they enjoyed the photos and videos I sent.  They seemed cheerful.

That dinner was nice, and there was a nice amount.  

That the dishwasher works and  I've made a start on cleaning the kitchen stuff.  And I've packed up a set of glasses we don't need - ready to give away. 

That husband discovered the freezer defrost / refreeze before we ate anything that affected us.  That the beef seems to be ok (the expensive stuff in the freezer).

That the Christmas stuff fits above the wardrobe so is out of the way.

Husband came round to the other house & we remembered to bring back the chocolate.

Spent some time doing things I enjoy (colouring and playing instruments - am happy to have my music books so I have something to play).  

That the scrap is being collected tomorrow which frees up wed to go out of town shopping.  

Social

Glad I went to the woods and got my walk in & my time in nature, that it didn't start raining til after I was back in the car.

Also for husband snuggling me in before I got up, I'm loving the brushed cotton bedding, bed is so cosy now.

That he put up the final bookcase and I'm nearly done unpacking books.  The library is really starting to come together.

Husband doing all the cooking, and tomorrow's dinner smelling lovely.

That I like gaming and have found an online meetup group I'm enjoying being part of, & when I dialled back into the session I got into some fun games.  That they can't hear him down the 

Caught up with a couple of husband's friends too,  sociable evening! That husband is happy for me to be playing with other people & doing my own thing.

Protectors

Thankful for husband being in same dept & for the pizza lunch.  That team mates were in & so we had friends to sit with.  That I enjoyed the pizza I had and so ate lunch.  

That the team meeting was a laugh and that I like the team I'm in.  That I had another easy day and QA okayed my work.  That I had approvals by the time the boss got back to me so i didn't need to make his suggested corrections. 

For my boss being accommodating and supportive; that I'm able to hold down this job.  That I recognise that work is a protective factor and a positive contribution in my life.

That it was dry for my walk at the woods and Ipstly had the loop to myself.  That I remembered how much I love being there and how good it is for me.  That there are woods close to home so I can get there in a lunchtime.

That people were kind and let me pull out on my journeys today.  That I got to the docs in time, & to gaming on time. That I found a space in the carpark and that traffic had cleared enough for me to get out.

That I love my life and things are going well.  Husband is amazing and I am starting to settle and make friends.

I got a game I liked at today's session and was near the top in terms of attendance. For tracker and journalling apps and so I can record the sessions.  That it's easy to set up habits and trackers.
