Writing

Glad I decided to bail on the muse story amd went back to the subtitle one.  The latter was much easier to write and is nearly long enough.  Much relieved to have the portfolio nearly ready.

Thankful for friends who read the partial drafts.

Glad husband is happy to do the cooking and ordering.  

For the walk to the shop, that it's closest to walk to easily and it was dry while I was out.

Remembered to phone my mum and she seemed on good form.  Also remembered to get my dad a card and I can easily post it while husband's at the doc on Tuesday.  I remembered to cancel counselling with the required week notice.

For being fit and healthy, able to walk to the shop and do weights.  Also able to sit in a chair for the day whereas that's for fun or for work.

That I got to see the fireworks out the side window, and maybe next year I'll remember I can see them from my chair.  Is nice being able to watch from inside. 

Fed

Glad it was dry when I was out with friend.  

We had a pleasant enough walk so I got some steps.  Back to the house for a cuppa rather than into town.

The road was still passable.

Husband got me a new computer game, and we can try out the expansions online.

I have a few more paragraphs of a story written and a little bit of time to get one finished.

That we have space for a big table and games storage.  Can leave games out to finish later.

Enjoyed playing with him and the game was reasonably quick now we know what we're doing.

Had curry ready cos he cooked the other day.  Thankful he does the cooking and makes us nice stuff.  Also that I got the other day because that's really nice. 

Exercise

Thankful I got to the tarot zoom and enjoyed it. 

That it was only light rain when I went to the shop, & that trip gave me some steps for the day.

They had a new cake that I took a chance on and is really nice.  And I remembered & found the duck fat I'd actually gone for.

Dinner was yummy.

The film was OK, plenty to talk about.

That husband helps me with weights and so far I'm on a roll.  Progressed to more reps today.

That I got a couple more paragraphs written.

Have plans to meet a friend tomorrow - looking forward to it.

Made a decision and dropped out of the strava group.

Home

Thankful my heels and knee survived the excursion this morning.  That the hoodie saved me from getting too wet.  Managed to thread the lace through fairly easily.

My boss appreciates the hour I put in today.  It was worth it to not do it on Tuesday.

Enjoyed the gaming with friends, & the reminder to go shopping.  

Husband knocked up a curry today and the meat for tomorrow.  He does tasty food and cleaned up afterwards.

Am in the process of unpicking the scarf to redo.  The green one is nice - will just keep going til I run out of wool.

Got the kitchen cleaned and the place hoovered.  Still impressed by how nice it looked cleaned up.  Very lucky to get the house and it was in decent state when we moved in.  That we had the time to get it painted and not much else needed done.

Hoodie straight from the dryer was so warm and cosy.  Glad we have space.

Christmas

Thankful for holidays.

Husband made lovely dinner

The roasties were great

Remembered to phone my parents

Progress

Happy I got a good way through my story.

Optimistic I'll get it finished.

The meat for tomorrow is really nice.  

Glad husband cooks.

Had time for a nap before going out.

Friend has offered to read my story.  

Enjoyed evening with friends.  

Glad I had a nap before we went

Luxury

We were lucky to get the house and be able to decorate and furnish it.

Also that I've got the library I always wanted with the cosy seat in the bay window.

The woods were empty when I arrived and I got to play on the swings and the outdoor gym.

Husband helped me set up the weights bench and I finally unpacked the weights.

Cleared a bagful  of rubbish out of the shed and it fit in the bin.

Husband did weights with me and I did better than expected.  I also got my 10k steps cos of going to the woods and the shop.

They had suitable cake.

I've started my portfolio and managed to start a new story.  Laying the groundwork for the next few days.  Edited the written piece enough to be able to move on.
