The December 6th offer of 1x free Kiva Gift Certificate is still open! Click here for details!

Things I’m grateful for or that I’ve appreciated today:

1. Lots of presents. Mainly clothes and shoes, but also a cushion, a throw for the chair, chocolate, a book on the Grameen Bank and some candles. Full list here.
2. My bed.
3. Wenna. She climbed onto my bed this morning to wake me up. First time she’s ever done that.
4. Nat liked her presents, and so did mom.
5. I’m off work all day today and tomorrow.
6. A nice lie in.
7. Only being deaf in one ear. It’ll resolve itself in time.
8. Listening to ABBA, because it isn’t Christmas without ABBA. Singing along to it too.
9. Tasty food on the table.
10. Haloscan.
11. Lolcats. Firefox’s spellchecker thinks that lolcats should be “defalcate“.
12. I’ve been paid back by another $4 on Kiva.org. $159 now.
13. I’ve loaned to a new business on Kiva.
14. I’ve received £25 for Christmas. That’s enough for 2 more Kiva loans.
15. Being able to do as I please.
16. Not eating huge amounts of chocolate and making myself sick.
17. I’ve made a donation to Project Ruth.
18. I didn’t drop Wenna when I picked her up. Note to self: Wenna is bigger and heavier than you think. It’s advisable not to try to lift her over the arm of the chair.
19. Not having to visit with relatives.
20. Cold water.
21. Hot coffee, that was delicious.
22. I’ve tidied up my room and thrown some papers and packaging out.
23. A nice hot bath with some bath stuff in it.
24. Nat lent me a pop sock to contain the lavender flowers.
25. Reading Banker To The Poor.
26. Insight into myself. I’m Vervain. So what does this mean?
27. A nice early night.
28. Another insight. I’ve been developing Beech traits towards those around me.
29. Yet another insight - a new body isn’t going to make me any happier.
30. I’ve ordered some new toys from ebay, and I’ve got my eye on some potentially quite cheap soy wax.
31. Finding out my personality DNA
