Saturday :-)

I love my weekends

• for the quiet of the weekend, for the time to relax and enjoy
• for getting the train tickets collected & safely home
• looking forward to the Christening & seeing family :-)
• have finished sewing up a couple of animals
• had a lovely walk with husband,
• & another walk to look forward to tomorrow with a friend
• the cupboards are full, the heating is on, the lights are on, I want for nothing

Presentable

midweek, I am thankful for the job I have, for the relaxed atmosphere at work.
I am so happy I remembered to remove my little magnetic bar before I threw my samples out.

Hung the washing so my next load is ready to go in.
Got an appointment with the hairdresser & remembered the allergy test for hair dye so I will be well presented for the Christening.

Been a while...

...& all is well.

I upgraded my charge to a charge HR, loving it still.  Now I just need to exercise....  I'm enjoying the fellowship of the forums too, I found an active one full of encouragement, & I encourage too.

Husband is going to start taking walks with me.  A wonderful way to spend time together.  & some thrilling conversation.  Husband is as wise as ever.

Discovered more kindness & happiness.  There's kindspring.org and the action for happiness movement.  Contemplating becoming a course leader.

Astrophysics is fascinating, & hard.  I am learning to be more disciplined.  Some weeks I even hit my 8 hour study target.  Thankfully the course materials arrive early & I started early & created a buffer zone versus the study planner.

The house is cosy.  Husband got me a new dressing gown, I would spend all day in it if I had the chance.  Currently Sundays are my refusing to get dressed days, a relaxing, chilling day...

I rediscovered my love of colouring in :-)  the celtic book has pages thick enough to take the glitter gel pen ink, could be there hours.  Got myself a few different colouring books.  Have also discovered that turning the pc off at 9.30 & reading or colouring is helping me sleep better.

Facebook has some new positive pages too. 

The knitting is going well, reaching the end.  Another pair of animals for the Christening next month, a pair or two for Christmas.  A couple of pairs for birthday next year, & that's the book finished!

new toys

I was decisive, & I have a lovely new phone
It stopped working in the house, & I rectified the situation - phew.
found a lush case & have that ordered - going to keep this one fresh

getting my fitbit replaced, also an easy process

mum & dad were here for the weekend & we had a really good weekend.
Looks like I'll have another pair of animals ready
