Relaxing

Thankful to have all day to relax & fill with hobbies.  

For sorting out my projects, & finding the pattern I've been looking for.  

For some interesting conversations with friends.

For husband bringing me a snack when he went shopping, & that I was watching when he wandered off in the wrong direction so I could intercept him.  

That I got the book finished so I can move onto the next one.

That I have the car so we can travel to shops & bring shopping home easily. 

That the bunny is still dry & seems happy to be moved in the carrier rather than carried directly.

That husband found a stiff broom (rather than the scrubbing brush) so I can clean the patio.

Thankful I got a "thanks for letting us know, we'll update our details" reply about an email I sent about a resource on the platform.

Social

Thankful that some established group members turned up, & that I took a book to read.  That I was there first & the others were all shown to the table ok.  That I managed to get a space in my favourite carpark & that Sunday parking is free.

That it was a nice day & we went for a walk to the park afterwards & found somewhere pleasant to sit & relax.

That I got everything I needed from the shop, & not having husband meant I got to spend ages in the craft section.  That I checked the recycling point (& it's clothes only) & then on the way back from the park we checked a different point & it takes glass.

That I got some lovely feedback from yesterday's volunteering session.

That I thought to put the bunny carrier in the run so when she hid in it while husband did noisy work she was easy to bring inside.  That he's put wind proofing on it & now she seems happier outside in it.  That the shop I was at this morning has a pet section so I know I can buy more hay when I need it.

Walkies

Thankful people were still out & friendly when I wandered over.

That I got encouraging feedback from yesterday's volunteering.

That I found a photo of the completed dragon, & have found a fun blogger to chat with & to follow.  

That I got new experiences in volunteering today, & that the shifts are only 2 hours long.

That husband came for a walk with me & the weather stayed dry.   & he found us something new to watch.  That the bunny is dry again.

Volunteering

Thankful that I looked at my watch & got husband up in time for his first meeting.  That I was awake & enjoyed reading for a bit after he got up.

That husband helped me move the run under shelter & that the bunny eventually went in & seemed to settle.  That she tolerated me washing her down this morning, & didn't seem wet this afternoon.  Fingers crossed.  That husband buys her treats automatically when he's shopping now.  That I'm enjoying the juice he bought me, & that I remembered to tell him that.  That he gives me decoy carrots when he's cooking.

That I enjoyed my first volunteering shift.  That I learnt how to use the platform better & that I figured out how to get emoji in chat.  That even though I panicked first, I soon calm down and breathe & get things under control.  Pleased that I am still expanding my comfort zone.  That the calendar is open for Sept & I got the shifts I wanted for the next couple of weeks.

That I've organised another meetup & have a couple of people coming. 

That I remembered to check the washer had finished & everything fit on the drier.  That I took the opportunity to take a break in the volunteering and am more confident doing that in future.

That I remembered to do my planks & I can tell I'm getting stronger at them.  That being able to do a good side plank means I can do them in Pilates instead of the mermaid which I dislike.  That I'm getting good use out of the Pilates mat husband bought me, & out of the weights, definitely was worth getting them.  That the second set of weights are still appropriate.

That I got my suguru finished, that I brought tipex with me & it's coming in useful.

Time flies

Thankful we still have access to the training & other graduates have told us which activities to revisit.  That ill friend made it home to bed.

That I've got Chinese leftovers for dinner - yummy :)  & husband waited for me to be available before ordering his dinner.
For friend who does us free Pilates lessons, & that they're twice a week now & I can feel myself getting stronger.  That I have enough room to do the exercises, & decent internet to keep the video going.

That I found a little colouring book that'll be perfect for my volunteering sessions.  That it's been cooler today, & that bunny is still dry.

That I'm being assigned proper training when I start work, & will gain useful skills & experience.

Fresh starts

Thankful for the chance to walk into a fresh new start, leaving the clutter & chaos behind.  Thankful for a clean emptyish house to keep in order, that all the laminate & tile is easier to clean than carpet.  That husband has decided to keep hoovering the stairs.  That he's removed the polystyrene out of the bin so we can put more rubbish in.

That I did a bit of cleaning, & it makes a difference, & I feel better for doing it.  For the previous tenants leaving us some basic cleaning supplies (sprays) & for our first food parcel containing cleaning cloths, thing we wouldn't've thought to get ourselves.  That it stayed dry while the washing was out & that dried.

That the weather is pleasant & I've enjoyed sitting reading & colouring in.  That husband took me for a walk & it stayed dry.  

That we managed to put the fence panel back in place.

That the boss is looking forward to me starting & has already booked me onto some training courses.

Volunteer

Thankful I have husband to support me, that we made it over here for a fresh start, that I have a new job to look forward to.

That my police check came back ok & I got to explore the platform before going live.  That I'm officially a crisis volunteer now.

For a contact who gave me a practice EFT session.  For getting a reading assigned to me today, & for a reply about the broken website. 

That I have all day to do whatever I please, that the shopping arrived after husband's call.  That I finally settled into reading my next book.

That my book & crystal tray both arrived today.  That I phoned up & paid the bins so they'll be collected again from next week.

That the bunny hutch survived the bad weather, & her back end's dry.  That the fence panel that blew down missed the car.
