For friends & for all the ways we keep in touch
That I remembered to hang my washing & it all fits on the dryer.

For holidays & being off work.

Acquisition

Thankful we made it out, & that the shops were quiet.  That parking was easy, & reasonably cheap.  That I saw Penneys & that was empty & I remembered socks & found leggings while I was there & the tights I bought by mistake fit & feel nice.  That I was controlled and only bought what I needed, & didn't keep husband waiting long.  

I remembered to hang the bunny towels so when my new top arrives tomorrow I can get my new stuff washed.

That husband ordered a new jigsaw and we finished the existing one.
That we've found another show to watch online & spent a pleasant evening watching whilst eating cake.

That I have a scarf ready to post to friend & have her eircode.

That I answered when the solicitor rang and completion date might be brought forward.  That I remembered I'd sent in all my ID and so she found it & I don't have to send it again.

That I've started taking advantage of some of the things I have access to - like Pilates, and tabi, and I have the walk on meetup.

Space

Thankful my top arrived & fits well, & the other one I like is still available,

That I earn enough to afford treats.  

That I got a parking space at the woods, & it stayed dry for my wander.

That I made it to the range & they had another ball of the pink fluffy wool so I can start knitting a scarf.

That I found a good sized spiral hard back sketching book for my latest project.

That husband cooks & made nice dinner, & shared rice with me,

That we did weights.

Delivery

Thankful we got home just as the Amazon driver was about to get out his van - husband caught him & we got our parcels.

That I remembered to take my dad's card so now it's posted and out of mind.

That the woods are nearby and the path had dried out today.  That I got there before dark & enjoyed my slow wander.  That it was quiet & I got parked, & the woman with kids in the middle of the road moved before I got to them.

That we got the jigsaw finished & all the pieces were still on the table.  That we sorted out the bits that were in the wrong places.

That the shops were fairly quiet & I found husband easily.  That we still have plenty of time off to enjoy & I am being better at avoiding mindless Facebook scrolling.

That I have the kindle & library access & plenty of books to enjoy.  & there are plenty enough free / cheap books on the kindle.

Sleep

Thankful to have slept well, & for the lie-in.

That husband came for a walk & the weather was reasonable while we were out.

That we live somewhere safe and quiet, and can get out for walks.

That my legs have been fine since I started wearing my boots rather than my trainers.

That he makes dinner and hot chocolate, & generally looks after me.  That he's calm and gentle and sweet, & supportive.

Thankful for the support I have, & for friends getting in touch.

That the weather was fine & I got to the woods, & for that being open.  That it wasn't me that was blocked in.

Husband found the film we wanted to watch.
For lie ins & easy days

Christmas

Thankful for having a house, heating, food, electricity, water...
For husband cooking & preparing fab food.  For having reduced the tablets enough to have a glass with him at lunch.  For work & a good company & our hampers.  For the little touches like the crackers that we wouldn't've bothered with.
For being in a good place with time & being able to volunteer, & also that no-one needed my help.
Remembered to phone my parents & they were in a good mood.
For the friends who got in touch, & the Amazon orders I placed, for being to replace some of the stuff that's still in storage & start getting my identity back (tied in with clothes).
That I cleared the table for the jigsaw - that we have plenty of space
