Things I’m Grateful For

Things I’m Grateful For on Wednesday 20 August

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

  1. Getting up OK, despite the early hour.
  2. I was dreaming again this morning, about Quin. I was on a beach, digging for lugworms this time, when the tide started coming in. In fact, it came in so much, Quin and I were trying to evacuate the town. Then I had to rescue a black kitten with a cerise pink mane from my bedroom. I sometimes wonder about myself…
  3. Breakfast cereals.
  4. A nice hot shower.
  5. I’m seeing J’s mom tonight. I’m really looking forward to it.
  6. I get to have a nap before going out again this evening.
  7. My utilities are working - water, electric, television, PC and such.
  8. I have a job list to do at some point.
  9. Having time to sit and pull myself together before going into work. I really really want this. :lol:
  10. Finding some tea tree essential oil.
  11. Dad has fixed the extractor fan in the bathroom, by disconnecting it, which means that there is no longer a terrible noise when turning the light on.
  12. Ecotopia.co.uk are offering a 10% discount on all Ecover products until 31st August 2008.
  13. Singing along to Alice Peacock.
  14. I have £13.11 in my ValuedOpinions account, awaiting authorisation. I’m saving it up to help pay for mom & dad’s birthday presents.
  15. I’ve been paid back by another $6 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $547 now.
  16. Safe driving.
  17. Work went well, nice and quickly.
  18. I got some free bits and bobs from work.
  19. Remembering to take some money with me this morning. :dill:
  20. Laughing with Dinky and L, as always.
  21. A nice nap after I got in from work. I needed it today. :lol:
  22. Lovefilm have sent me a huge bunch of DVD’s.
  23. Work is over for the day.
  24. Some very tasty, tangy raspberries.
  25. Having a very good time at J’s mom’s. :broccoli: She gave me a camera. And it was great to catch up and chat about all sorts of random things.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. This loldog.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A quick, simple, pleasant day at work. MANIFESTED.

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Covered J2’s break.
  2. Served a few customers.
  3. Bought J’s mom some flowers.

    Hi Solomon,
    Dreams can be strange, can’t they.
    That is a good savings in your valued opinions account and a nice goal to save for.
    I enjoy your comments on my posts and so glad you take time to visit.
    Have a good day!

    I’ve had £70 off them so far, for doing surveys. I’ve decided to by the parents a Nintendo DS and Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training for their birthdays, and my sister is going 50/50 with it for me. I have £15 saved towards it so far, so i’m hoping for lots of surveys between now and October. :lol:

    I’m grateful to be home after my vacation. It’s taking longer to ‘rest up’ than I had anticipated. However, I did get a bit of shopping done yesterday and washed up all the laundry that accumulated while we were gone. Four children and two female adults can sure dirty a lot of clothes in five days. I guess I should also give thanks for the washer and dryer. lol

    Well, I don’t know about should, but I imagine life would have been a lot more difficult without them, doing all that washing. :lol:

    A working car is a very useful thing. And it’s cool that you get some warning to fix it. Mine just breaks. :lol:

    Me too. Not overfly fond of strawberries, but I do have a weakness for fresh raspberries. :banana:

    Absolutely. All the more so because they’re free.

    You’re doing very well on your surveys. I only ever seem to get through the first few questions and then they tell me they have enough people, thank you! Nevertheless I have accumulated a few tokens. I’d forgotten about the YouGov one, so I’ll try that. Thank you :)

    Yougov is good, but it takes ages to get to the £50 payout level. I’m only at about £12. :( Still, it’s a nice bonus, and a good way to save the money.
