Weekend

Thankful that I can take it easy on bad days, that I get enough done during the week to cover me.

That husband sorts out dinner, & does the ordering etc. for take aways.

That we got through to BT to cancel the phone & broadband, & that the conversation was painless.

That I figured out paypal & sorted out my entry.

That it's easy to cancel volunteering too, & I can always pick up extra as I feel like it.  That husband sat through a film with me.

Sleep

Thankful boss came to the meeting & we managed to get our document agreed.  

That I spoke up in the team meeting, & he knows what I need his help with, 

That I was able to reach out to someone & ask for help & they gave it willingly, & I figured out how to use the new software.

That it'd stopped raining by the time I went to see to the bunny.

That I made it to Pilates, & resisted chocolate tonight.

That husband does the shopping so I can sit in the car & message friends while he's in the supermarket.  That I feel it balances out him doing the cooking so I don't feel guilty.

That it's nearly the weekend

Calm

Thankful I can get to the woods on a lunch time, & that it's quiet then.  That I got onto the exercise machines & enjoyed messaging friend & reading.  

That I have friends to chat with & that I had an easy work day so I could chat & not have to concentrate.  & that I have things quietly ticking over so it looks like my work is under control.

That my boots are arriving soon so I have something to look forward to.

Boiler is sorted & friend found me some of my music books & is posting them.

That husband looks after me, & we have food & treats in the cupboards, jobs, & a house, & the things that we need, & extras to enjoy.  

That I'm happier after being at the woods & chatting with friends.

Food & warmth & shelter

Thankful to have got up early & done a bit of time stamped work & then gone back to bed for cuddles.  Thankful to have a home & a comfortable bed, & central heating.  That husband came for a walk with me at lunchtime, even though he was sore from the machine.  That it was dry & sunny & we live in a pleasant neighbourhood.  That workmate was on site & he scanned me the document I needed to save me going in.  That I have a job & usually it's straight forward.  That a conversation webex with someone today saved a lot of trying to explain by email. & that I made my point succinctly to my boss.  Am also still making baby steps of progress with a few other things.

That I've got friends, & internet & messaging means it's easy to stay in touch & I've had a pleasant evening chatting with friends.

Thankful to friend & neighbour who both keep an eye on the house for us, & for friend for sorting out the engineer when the heating was broken.  Thankful too for the coach check in today about the volunteering.

That husband helps me compose work emails. & that I got to ask my question in the meeting.

Working from home

Thankful to hear from a friend, & that she's ok.  That I have plenty of work to keep me occupied, & a little pressure now is a useful reminder not to get too comfortable.  Thankful that I'm part of a team & we have a good laugh.

That I tried a different programme & listening to an audiobook (rather than watching Netflix rotated) and managed longer on the exercise machine.  That being able to have one longer go means less switching between accounts.  That I found a nice new little notebook to track progress in.

Thankful for a reminder I saw today, 2 reasons to love working from home:  you have work, you have a home.  Both things I am very thankful for, & for husband too.

That we made it out for a walk today, and it was dry & sunny, & the frost was gone.  That I enjoy talking with husband.

That I made it to Pilates, & am thankful I didn't get an answer about I sent just beforehand because that meant I wasn't tempted to go back to the computer & work more, useful for reinforcing my boundaries.

That when I woke up & saw the frost I could stay home, & stay safe from the ice.
