Support

Colleague said to be sure to reach out to her if I need help, and team mate is always happy to help.  Am lucky to be in a good team.  Helped out a team mate and was pleased with myself for being able to help.  

Am proud of myself for quietly sorting out someone else's mistake.  Have benefited from the team helping me out loads.

Urgent thing moved along another step, and another step is looking promising for tomorrow.

Thankful to have met pilates friend and to have joined her classes before they went online so i'm on the zoom list now.   Tomorrow is an evening class so I might actually make it - or sleep through it.  Happy I lasted the entire class today and she said I looked so happy on the rolls.  She knows I enjoy them and throws them in sometimes.

Managed a full workday, even after sleeping badly.  The early starts really helps.  So I have earned a short day tomorrow or can bank hours for next week.

Went to friend's meeting to support her and made some useful contributions.  

Friend recommending a book is a test of no-spend resolve.  And I shall manage to resist which gives me some hope of being better controlled around chocolate.  Have decided to donate the crisps to the food bank.  Is nice husband got them for me and I appreciate the gesture.

Left alone

Nothing came up during the training and I was happily on do-not-disturb.

We got today's urgent thing done and moved onto the next stage of my priority task.

Enjoyed gaming.  Glad I made the effort to go.  Was a nice crowd.  Got there just in time to join the first game.  My cup of tea was free.

Home delivery arrived after we'd finished eating. 

Got accepted onto the creative writing course.  My short statement worked its magic.

Found the vegan recipe I want to try, & found a second one as well.  Have sat morning to go shopping if needed. Might need to raid the cupboards first.

Social

Bank holiday on Monday!  Glad to be reminded.  

Had a good laugh at a daft Facebook story.  Glad I have a friend who appreciates such things and I have a laugh with her during the day.

Colleague also had their brain melted by an email reply I received  & other people in the team share my frustrations - nice to be in company.  Colleague is a useful ally and is happy sharing her knowledge on the systems.

Feeling virtuous because we have a milkman now.

Made it to counselling and am glad I did, & that I've stuck with it.  Had an interesting conversation with husband afterwards.  He is so lovely.

Got as much progressed as I could today amd now everything is with other people, I'm not holding it up. 

Am enjoying the lego building, it's satisfying just doing a few pieces at a time.  Same with the crochet squares, am enjoying seeing the collection grow.

Remembered to book in for blood tests.  Thankful I got registered with a doctor and have good access to healthcare.

Dentist

Thankful I got there on time and it was relatively quick and painless.  

Also got to the library to return books and collect a new reservation that'd come in.

Husband looks after me.  And made me hot chocolate while I needed caring for.  Also keeps the kitchen reasonably well stocked.

Got enough done workwise, pre-empted a few things from the boss.

Held my temper in a frustrating meeting and had a laugh with a friend about it afterwards.  Glad she sees things my way.  Husband also let's me rant.

Remembered journalling again amd grats.

Friend is back and got into touch - we'll probably catch up at the weekend.

Got the boardwalk event set up and announced.  Looking forward to it. A few other plans in motion too.  

Enjoyed snuggling with husband.

Friends

Thankful to be able to get up and moving.  And that we weren't much late.

The pancakes and bacon were good with a generous syrup portion.  Maybe a new favourite cafe.  Resisted hot chocolate. 

Glad we went on the tour, he was interesting and loud enough.  The gardens look lovely.  Unhurried pace for the trip out.

That I'm doing better than I was, have enough energy to go out with friends. Was nice catching up.  Have passed on the details on bil's book.

For meetup and ability to meet people.  Next meetup is arranged, just needs posting.  Hopeful that this group will lead to new friends.  Is good to have hope.

Went back to the programming app and am doing OK with that.

Alarm is set for dentist tomorrow and I have emergency xanax left if needed.

Life

Thankful I remembered to phone my mum and we had a nice chat.  Got to practise patience 😆  that my parents are still here and reasonably fit and healthy.

That I got my application in, and a couple of friends helped me get it up to word count.  Was good catching up with one I rarely speak with. Am excited about the course and even if I don't get accepted I can do an online one now I'm motivated.

The availability and ease of use of apps, we have so many resources.  For smart phones and devices, that chips are so small and powerful now.  For easy access to knowledge and advice.

There's a second series of a show I enjoy.  So much entertainment and free time to enjoy it all.  Glad of the library, both physical and online offerings.  That a new book is in for me and I have a handy chance to call in after the dentist on Monday.  

The weather was nice enough for me to get out and mow the lawn.  

For access to healthcare and medication.  That I am better at taking them now and hopefully all is well.
