Me time

Thankful I thought to check my calculations. I can disclaimer them rather than having to modify them.

Can investigate different environments rather than stay stuck on colab.
Found what looks like an interesting/ useful book in the college library.

It was dry and sunny and I enjoyed my walk to the chemist & had time to sit out on the swing for lunch.
Managed to get a full episode watched before college.

Remembered to hang my washing.  Washer seems OK now.
Team meeting was fun & had an enjoyable meeting with team mate.
Counselling was also useful & I remembered to set up next week's appointment.

Useful reminder that I get to enjoy my time.  I have few obligations and plenty of free time to enjoy.  That I can afford what I need: timewise, moneywise, & with a few considerations - energywise.

Was in a good mood for  counselling- and big change from last week where o was lethargic and dull.

travel

Thankful I managed to get the room temperature back down, & got some sleep.

That I got up & ready for my lift, & the journey was uneventful.  

Found car ok, & got out the carpark ok.  Know the machine's next to the exit for next time.

Glad I stopped for food on the way home, & husband took the hint & made toasties for dinner - pretty much timed for the end of pilates.

Remembered to check pilates time & made it to the class.

Sent on the photos I said I would.

Slept on plane, & recovered enough to drive home.

Family

Glad it was dry for my walks and that my boot heel held.
That I found something suitable for tea and got the meringues I wanted - yummy. 
For Scottish Sunday opening hours and being able to get to the shops.
Had another enjoyable wander through the park, & a quick play on the assault course waiting for the others.
Got to the Indian snacks before the kids handled them and there was plenty of garlic bread.  
Glad I came over for the weekend. 
Audiobooks downloaded on the phone so I had one to listen to as I chilled in my room.
Being in the hotel gave me an escape from the noise.
Got a couple of family photos and the leaflet to pass on

Travel

Thankful I got up OK, got to the airport in good time and got a parking space.
That I got moved to a seat away from anyone else.
Enjoying the book I brought.
Brother met me in arrivals.
Had a lovely wander round the park and got some photos.  Also got husband his favourite nuts and the bag i picked has over shoulder straps so I managed to get a big bottle of water back without much effort.
That I brought a second book so I won't run out.
Picked a good main course and finished it.
My mum's card arrived in good time and I remembered to phone her to wish her a happy birthday.

Calm

Made it to work to say bye to a colleague (& get some cake).  
Enjoyed lunch with a team mate and the food was my favourite so far.
Finished early as I wanted, & remembered pilates just in time to make the start.
Glad of the reduced hours.
3 sessions this week!  Proud of myself.
Calmed down and felt better once I got myself to work.
Plenty of tv time with husband
Have a good selection of books I've yet to read, so plenty for the weekend.
All the bottles were accepted and I got the vouchers to husband in time for him to use them to pay.

Recovery

Glad I went to the woods after dropping husband off, that taking him to work was the push to get dressed & get out.  That I am much better these days & can do the full walk without needing to rest.

I did the longer loop, & felt better after.  Glad the woods are so close, & I can fit a trip into lunch. For the flexibility to take a longer lunch.  Also cheered a friend up with photos from the woods.

Made it to Pilates, & had a chat with friend at the end.  She was supportive, as expected.  Doing the whole hour feels like less of a chore than it used to, & I enjoyed the full session.

Also made college, & it was a short session.

Have been left alone to get on with tasks workwise, & only need to do a short day tomorrow.

Husband signed the card for us.

Team meeting was fun.  I'm in a good team with a sound manager.

Pay

Thankful I got a payrise, & my contract extension

Survived the meeting, stood up for us, got brownies points, & to speak to the boss after.

Have the work consult arranged & all the paper work ready.

Less anxious today.

Remembered to get my prescription renewed & consecutive blood appointments. 

The flexibility to work when I want and basic autonomy over my daily tasks.
