Things I’m Grateful For on Saturday 17 May

Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. I have the whole day to myself to do exactly as I please with.
  3. Hot coffee.
  4. Seeing the look on Wenna’s face when she was excited.
  5. Fiddling with the blogs again.
  6. Seeing birds in the garden. Over the past week we’ve had 5 Wood pigeons, 5 House Sparrows, a Blackbird, a Dunnock, a Great Tit, 2 Blue Tits & a Thrush. To attract them into the garden, we’ve been feeding all sorts of food - bread, old cooked cake mix, mealworms, wild bird food, cheese, cooked rice and wild bird food mix. It seems to be working.
  7. I’ve finally received my bank access details. :banana:
  8. I’ve been paid back by another $9 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $389 now. :dill:
  9. Looking after the mealworms. I love the fact that I’m cultivating something.
  10. Feeding Wenna some biscuits.
  11. I have some jobs to catch up on today.
  12. Mom has paid back some of the money for the Ecover supplies.
  13. My shredder. I’ve had a whole heap of banking related papers come in the past few days (way more than I think is actually necessary) and using the shredder certainly makes me feel a bit more secure when it comes to destroying the papers.
  14. I live in a climate controlled house, that doesn’t require much (if any) energy to control the temperature. If it’s hot, I open a window. If it’s cold, I close the windows and doors, and put on a jumper. We have central heating but never use it, because we never need to. :chili:
  15. Peanut butter on toast.
  16. Another ebay auction I was running has completed successfully. :cucumber:
  17. I spent a happy few minutes just, making an envelope out of cardboard, for the stuff from the ebay auction. This makes me feel good in three ways - I save money by not buying a Jiffy bag, I reuse some cardboard that would otherwise be thrown away and I get to create something with my hands.
  18. Putting some bird food up the garden, and hearing a bird chirruping.
  19. A nice hot shower.
  20. Breakfast cereals, with cold milk.
  21. Sorting some more stuff out for Ebay. I’m really starting to get into selling stuff on there.
  22. Finding 3 new shoots on on the Aspidistra elatior “Akebono”.
  23. Mom got me some oat bran for the mealies while she was out.
  24. Entertaining myself by playing Pokémon. Yes, I am that much of a kid. :lol:
  25. A nice hot bath.
  26. Cold milkshake.
  27. Figuring out a way to get much more ebay stuff quickly and easily. :carrot:
  28. I have the whole day to myself again tomorrow.
  29. Getting back into Entrecard.
  30. I’ve had 9 new mealworm pupae today. That’s 15 altogether.
  31. Having the idea to sell mealworm breeding kits on ebay, eventually.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. Wenna trying to get into the shower with mom.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. Working automated backups.

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Fetched the milk in.

    I like the way you are attracting the birds with all types of food. It is so peaceful just to watch wildlife, I think.
    Good luck with your ebay items.
    Nice list.
    Have a great weekend.

    It really is. I love seeing the birds in the garden when I’m doing the washing up or whatever.
