Things I’m Grateful For on Monday 26 May
Today’s list of things to be thankful for or appreciate:
- Getting a good night’s sleep.
- Being able to reach out and touch someone.
- Delicious hot coffee.
- I’m off work all day.
- I have a few jobs to catch up on.
- Mom has cut my hair this morning. I really wish that I had arms that I could use to trim the hair on the back of my head with. I have a grade 4 all over, which I’d do myself, but I’d probably end up with a malformed mohawk.
- Freshly hoovered carpet. It’s odd that I’ve noticed it, but I’ve been walking about barefoot today, and got a thorn in my foot. Thankfully, I noticed it right quick and didn’t push it any further in by walking on it. So yeah, carpet with no foot assailing bits on it.
- A song called Cocktails by Robbie Fulks. I defy anyone not to sing along to it.
You can listen to it by clicking the player here ~> - Another slice of lemon pie.
- Finding the above media player. It seems to work really well. It’s actually the second one I tried, the first of which was no longer supported. I’ll be better able to show you the music I like now, which is fantastic. If you don’t see it, or it’s not working properly, please let me know.
- The Streptocarpus “Black Panther” has some visible flower buds on it, which is fantastic. The Streptocarpus “Chorus Line” has some too, which is also great.
- Having something to fiddle with. In this case, it’s the media player. I find it really rewarding to have something like that.
- Having the whole day to myself.
- Breakfast cereals. Today, I’m eating Alpen Original, which I’m surprised to find is also manufactured by Weetabix. I seem to like a lot of their products.
- Sharing my food with Wenna. I don’t know why that fulfils me, but it does.
- Being inside on a really windy day. It’s pulling the sliding windows open, it’s that strong.
- Putting up a signed photograph of Alice Peacock I’ve had for a while, and putting up a wallet to hold stuff I have to post, etc.
- Altering the height of a light I have in my room. It’s one of those really tall standard lamps, that go up to about 7′ with an uplighter on the top. Something like this, but in black. Anyway, it’s on top of a unit, and I’ve lowered the thing down to just be the base and the very top section. It doesn’t reflect off this monitor the way it used to on the old one, so I can have the light source closer to me.
- More hot coffee.
- Tidying up the PC a bit and getting rid of junk.
- Watching a cool film. Kinda indie, and with an interesting plot, full of twists. Very enjoyable.
- I’ve cleared off my desk again.
- Safe driving.
- Catching up with the French.
- Getting my car tyres re-inflated. The drive is much smoother now, and it should cost me a lot less in fuel.
- Getting fuel was nice and easy and simple.
- Actually being tired enough to sleep.
Things I’ve laughed at today:
- Various things. “Fiiiiiiiishhhh….” being amongst them.
Things I want to manifest:
- A fulfilling day off work, with all my jobs done.
Things I’ve done for others:
- Made cups of tea.




I noticed you mentioned several times hot coffee today. With that much caffeine you should be able to get a lot done.
I was suppose to be off work today, but volunteered to work the holiday. I need to stop listening to those voices I have and not volunteer.
But the extra money will nice and I will put it to good/fun use.

Yeah… Only thing is, I have to be up at 6 in the morning. I think I might just stay awake.
May 26th, 2008 at 6:49 pmOuch… getting up at 6am is hard for me.
FYI do you know your other site is giving me a “Error 403 Forbidden (Directory index forbidden by rule: /)” message?

That’s odd. It’s working fine here. Are you going to randomblatherings.com or randomblatherings.com/blog?
May 26th, 2008 at 11:01 pmI went to randomblatherings.com, but when I went to /blog it was working ok. Must be an error on my part.

Hmm. I thought I’d set it up with a .htaccess to redirect people. I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for telling me.
