Things I’m grateful for or that made me feel good today:
- Missing a phone call from Rani, who I assume wanted me to go into work.
- Having a nice lie in, complete with weird dreams. This time, I was in the middle of nowhere, in the jungle I think, trying to escape from these creatures. Of course, I was flying as usual, and calling down fire and lightning to dispatch them. Then I found this compound where some people were keeping safe, so I was flying round that, then some of the creatures got in, so I was trying to kill them off. Then it was night, and I went into the jungle to scare them all, so I found a patch of them, and started howling at them. All I could see in the dark were these red faces, 2 eyes and a mouth, like a smilie. Then they were all whizzing round the compound, and I was throwing lightning at them. Bizarre.
- It’s tiddling down here, so I have a good reason not to do the outside electrics.
- I have a job list ready to do.
- I’m off work all day.

- A nice hot shower.
- Tia Maria coffee.
- I’ve noticed today that if I start a programme from a keyboard shortcut, 1by1 does the “jerky” thing. If I start it from the Start Menu, it seems to be OK.
- I was on a high all day yesterday, and I hope it continues on to today.
- I realised last night I sort of got what I asked for - I was concerned, shall we say, that I wasn’t able to love someone, and now, when I make a new friend, the first thing I do is fall in love with them. I never have to be scared that I won’t be able to love someone ever again.
- I’ve decided to add the postings where I mention the interest I’ve earned from my bond to del.icio.us to make them easier to find when I need to add up how much interest I’ve earned.
- Pownce have given me another 6 invites, so I now have 11 available. Hit me up if you want one.
- I’ve discovered a way to make Thunderbird load on startup - Minimize To Tray Enhancer. It’s an extension that uses another extension to work. But it will make Thunderbird load at startup, which I like, and it will make it hide in the tray, which I also like.

- The above extension will also work with Firefox, which gives it the same functionality.

- I have hopefully created a better unattended install disk for Windows XP. I haven’t taken so much out this time, so it should work OK. I’m still testing the install disk with the VPC.
- Have cleared off a few more photos from Photobox.
- Shouting along to Anastacia.
- It seems that there is a conflict between VLC and ConvertX. I can get round this by using MPC to play DVD’s with.
- MIM - not having to eat with the family.
- I haven’t overeaten today.
- Watched mom doing an uncannily accurate impression of a pigeon walking along some trellis.
- I think I’ve finally cracked the nLite disk. I’ve got one that completely installs itself, and seems to work OK on the desktop too. I can’t test it fully yet because I need to reinstall Windows, and hopefully that’s a long way off.
- Made the decision not to buy a plant I was interested in on ebay. I don’t really need/want it at all.
- Had fish fingers, oven chips, peas and sweetcorn for tea, while mom and Nat are having Chinese. I’ve also had a Weight Watchers dessert instead of junk. Which, incidentally, was very nice.
- Heard the line “You look like a pigeon in a dress”. I have definitely got to save this one for later.
- Amazon have shipped my CD’s.
- Had a small amount of Chinese. Only a few mouthfuls.
- Had a laugh with Rani when she phoned to say hi.
- Enjoyed an organic apple from Nat’s veg box.
- And also an organic grapefruit.
- Have managed to get rid of the little partition I created while fiddling with the pagefile yesterday.

- I have a cracked tooth that is working it’s way out. Part of it came out today.

- My beautiful water feature.
- Am running the air purifier with some petitgrain in it.
- Realising just how good life has been the past few weeks.
- Hot tea and malted milk biscuits.
- Have had 5 pieces of fruit/veg today.
- Junk is holding less attraction for me.
Things I want to manifest:
- A good day off work. MANIFESTED.
- Getting everything off my job list done. DID THE IMPORTANT STUFF.
- A Firefox extension that will cause it to load at startup. MANIFESTED.
