Exercise

Happy the weather held for the walk.  
Glad I went.
It's a lovely route and looking forward to them reopening the loop.

Call went well and we even had a laugh.
  
Tier was fun.

Made it to Pilates.  
Intercepted dinner order in time to add mine to it after saying I didn't want any.  
Plenty of treats and fruit in the cupboard.
Remembered breakfast

Lunch was a laugh too and I enjoyed the noodles.
Emailed the project lead and got some brownie points.

Work

Thankful to be able to roll over and sleep more.
That we got to work and I caught my boss when he wasn't in a meeting and we had a decent chat.  He's happy with what I'm doing and has confirmed (again) that he's happy to allow me flexibility with my working hours.  Was a reassuring meeting.

That husband and the gang waited for me for lunch and I got back in time for my meeting.  Chocolate in the kitchen, enjoyed a few pieces and got my eating dor the day kickstarted when I didn't think I was going to bother.

Got set up on a spare laptop ready for a meeting tomorrow so I can progress my top priority.   

That team mate(s) are going on the walk tomorrow so I can join them.  

Learnt a new crochet stitch and have managed it quite well.

Sleep

Thankful to be able to sleep in.  To have an easy day and finish early.  My boss is OK with that.

That husband got the bin out before the collection. 

It stayed dry so I have a pleasant hour or so on the swing.

The wait list freed up so I can go to the in-person meet tomorrow.  There's a carpark reasonably near.

Husband orders dinner and picks things he knows I'll like.

Social

Made it to pilates, the full session.  Am noticing myself stiff through it so is good to remember that I can do the exercises outside of class too.

That I'd built up enough time during the week to finish early and get to Pilates and then have a nap.

Husband sorted out dinner and chose well for me.

We got to the pub just in time to order and sit before team mate turned up closely followed by leaving guy.  It was an enjoyable session & I got a free hot chocolate.  And I am feeling my social bar is full.

A team mate gave me a call about a message I'd been sent and it was good to be able to share some of my frustration.

Am enjoying the crochet, happy to have hobbies.  And crochet enables me to either watch TV or listen to audiobooks as I'm doing it. 

Am happy.

Work

Team meeting was a laugh.

Had plenty to do and got a few things crossed off the list.  Managed to get updates on a few longer term items to discuss with the boss.

Managed to resist chocolate and sweets all day, minimal evening snacking (crisps and fruit).  Husband got me crisps and I remembered frizen berries.

Made pilates and managed it up til dinner arrived.  Did better than expected after a long break.  

Husband got me crispy duck because I didn't want satay.  Is chicken left over for my lunch tomorrow.

Have finished the square I was on and am ready to start a new pattern.

Have done enough hours this week for a short day tomorrow, & either pilates or the woods.

Remembered to phone friend,  she was thrilled I called in to see her.

Recovery

Thankful for being able to sleep in and start late.  That I had plenty enough to fill the day workwise and still leave early.  That I got a spot in the carpark I wanted and got nose studs and had a little bit of a walk.  

Got cash out, no queue at the cashpoint.  That drinks in the bar gave me more carpark change.

Husband donated to colleague's leaving collection and I remembered to sign the card from us.  That the drinks are early and local so we'll go for a little bit 

Am enjoying the crochet squares and have plenty of wool.  That I can keep decluttering the squares as donations, along with any of the wool I don't want.  That I can be as adventurous or not with the crafting.  For YouTube and tutorials and having access to learn the things I'm interested in and the squares is a good way to practice.

That I quit work early enough for a nap and was fine for gaming.  That we've managed to arrange another weekend session to finish our taxes.

More hobbies

Thankful for a lazy start to the day, for having the time to relax and have a lie-in.  

That I found a problem to investigate and the sense of achievement from figuring it out.

That husband does the cooking and is making healthy meals for us.  That he was free at a reasonable lunchtime.

It stopped raining long enough for me to get to the chemist and they had all my prescription items.   
Also thankful they're in the drug scheme so what I pay is capped.  The pharmacy applies that automatically for me.

That counselling was useful and I can see progress.  

Braved a new tarot zoom and it was interesting- enjoyed discussing the cards and can look into the cards more.  Husband left friend's tuperware put so I can return it tomorrow.
