Things I’m Grateful For

Thursday 26th July

Things I’m grateful for or that made me feel good today:

  1. Missing a phone call from Rani, who I assume wanted me to go into work.
  2. 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.
  3. It’s tiddling down here, so I have a good reason not to do the outside electrics.
  4. I have a job list ready to do.
  5. I’m off work all day. chilli
  6. A nice hot shower.
  7. Tia Maria coffee.
  8. 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.
  9. I was on a high all day yesterday, and I hope it continues on to today.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Pownce have given me another 6 invites, so I now have 11 available. Hit me up if you want one.
  13. 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.carrot
  14. The above extension will also work with Firefox, which gives it the same functionality. banana
  15. 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.
  16. Have cleared off a few more photos from Photobox.
  17. Shouting along to Anastacia.
  18. It seems that there is a conflict between VLC and ConvertX. I can get round this by using MPC to play DVD’s with.
  19. MIM - not having to eat with the family.
  20. I haven’t overeaten today.
  21. Watched mom doing an uncannily accurate impression of a pigeon walking along some trellis.
  22. 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.
  23. Made the decision not to buy a plant I was interested in on ebay. I don’t really need/want it at all.
  24. 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.
  25. Heard the line “You look like a pigeon in a dress”. I have definitely got to save this one for later.
  26. Amazon have shipped my CD’s.
  27. Had a small amount of Chinese. Only a few mouthfuls.
  28. Had a laugh with Rani when she phoned to say hi.
  29. Enjoyed an organic apple from Nat’s veg box.
  30. And also an organic grapefruit.
  31. Have managed to get rid of the little partition I created while fiddling with the pagefile yesterday. dill
  32. I have a cracked tooth that is working it’s way out. Part of it came out today. chilli
  33. My beautiful water feature.
  34. Am running the air purifier with some petitgrain in it.
  35. Realising just how good life has been the past few weeks.
  36. Hot tea and malted milk biscuits.
  37. Have had 5 pieces of fruit/veg today.
  38. Junk is holding less attraction for me.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A good day off work. MANIFESTED.
  2. Getting everything off my job list done. DID THE IMPORTANT STUFF.
  3. A Firefox extension that will cause it to load at startup. MANIFESTED.
