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

1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
2. I’m going to earn some money today. S has mentioned that I can leave at whatever time I want.
3. Breakfast cereals.
4. My nice warm bed.
5. 1 minute snoozes.
6. Wanda Sykes’ thoughts on gay marriage:

7. Having a battery charger to charge the car battery with. I’m pretty sure that that’s what the problem is.
8. I’m not working with Joe Public today. At all.
9. I get to wear whatever clothes I want so I can pick warm ones.
10. That habit, if nothing else, keeps me doing this blog. On days like today, when I get out of bed the wrong way, and feed the wrong wolf, it’s still here to pull me back to the path I want to be on.
11. De-icer. Such a fantastic invention.
12. My wheat bag. I will get a lot of use from it on the way to work today.
13. The weather is dry, at least.
14. I’ve bought myself a battery charge tester off ebay. This should help me confirm my theory.
15. Safe driving.
16. Work was OK. We got a fair bit done, and I really helped S out by going, so that’s good karma.
17. I got a Subway sandwich.
18. It was time-and-a-half, so I get paid 13 hours. Which is more than my weekly contracted hours.
19. I scored loads of free stuff.
20. Tasty biscuits.
21. Laughing with everybody.
22. My wheat bag made a cold journey much much warmer.
23. My car started first time this evening.
24. A tasty bacon sandwich.
25. A lovely hot shower.
26. Hot coffee.
27. Finding a webcam at work. It’s quite cheap, has a decent sensor, and most importantly, has a microphone attached. If I can get it working OK, I might start using Skype again.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. This loldog.
2. This lolcat. And this one. And also this one.

Things I want to manifest:

1. A quick, pleasant day at the new store. MANIFESTED.

Things I’ve done for others:

1. Fetched some shopping.

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

1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
2. I have some extra hours at work today. 2-6, doing books, which means it will be nice and quiet, and off the till.
3. Dozing this morning. It’s been literally years since I managed to do this. Usually I’m awake or asleep, with nothing in between. This morning I managed to stay concious, but completely give myself over to dreaming, if that makes sense.
4. Breakfast cereals.
5. Having fuel in the car.
6. I have some uniform that is clean.
7. This lolcat.
8. Even though money is tight at the moment, I still seem to be getting extra hours at work.
9. That I’m still alive.
10. The mealworms are still doing well. I’m seeing shed skins again, which is always a good sign.
11. A nice hot shower this morning.
12. Atmospheric weather. Isn’t all weather “atmospheric”? Anyway, it’s really foggy here today, and I’m glad that I’m not in work until later, after it lifts.
13. Smodging on Wenna.
14. Indoor plumbing and toilet facilities. It’s cold enough in the bathroom as it is, without having to go outside.
15. Tasty vegetable soup spaghetti on toast, with cheese on top. There is no meal that can’t be enhanced with cheese.
16. Watching a cookery programme on TV.
17. Finding Survivors. It’s a post apocalyptic TV series. A flu virus has killed nearly-but-not-quite everyone, and the series tracks how they survive. I think it’s going to be somewhat like The Last Train. I do love some END OF THE WORLD drama on a Saturday night.
18. Safe driving.
19. Work went well. Nice and easy.
20. Playing C up. I tied her legs together and made her walk.
21. Chatting to Dinky.
22. A tasty doughnut from Greggs.
23. My car started when I got out of work.
24. I think I’ve figured out what the problem is. Having the radio and headlights on, and driving at low revs means the battery isn’t getting charged up very much.
25. I’m off work on Tuesday.
26. It’s bath night tonight, and the water is already hot.
27. Avoiding M. [shudders] She came into work today, but only spoke to me for a few seconds.
28. Not having to eat a meal with the family.
29. Posting some parcels.
30. Avoiding A at work, who apparently had a hangover. She had less than a pint of beer. Even I don’t get a hangover after that silly little amount of alcohol. Ye gods…
31. Hot Teeccino.
32. A lovely hot bath.
33. Interesting Fregair. An insight: Willow. See SIT.
34. Vetivert essential oil. Makes me sleepy.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. Wenna waking dad up by howling.
2. Mom: “Who made the macadamia?” Nat: “We have cake?” Mom: “No, the dance. Who made it?” Nat, with blank expression: “You mean the Macarena?”
3. This loldog.
4. Laughing with my colleagues.

Things I want to manifest:

1. A fun, pleasant evening at work. MANIFESTED.

Things I’ve done for others:

1. Fetched the milk in.
2. Covered a shift for Dinky.
3. Helped my colleagues.
4. Served some customers.

5. My wages have gone into my bank.

10. I’m not working in the US, where it is Black Friday.
11. I’m off tomorrow and Sunday.
12. H doesn’t want me in until 8AM on Monday. This is better than 7:30.
13. My car. Getting to the new store for 9AM would be impossible without it.
14. I have some cash on hand to get some food at work and while I’m dodging between the stores.
15. My hat and gloves are in the car, where I want them to be.
16. Getting to see CBT in action. See BFIT.
17. Safe driving.
18. Work at the new store was nice and simple. I did have to jump on the till at one point, but it was fine.
19. I had OK-to-good customers all day.
20. S bought me a very tasty chocolate cookie.
21. Laughing with L and S.
22. A tasty pastie from Greggs.
23. More free chocolate.
24. Being able to grab a Pot Noodle while I was at work.
25. Reading some more of the book I’m reading at work. It’s quite interesting, if a little gory.
26. Having food/drink in my locker to hand ready to eat.
27. Figuring out how to set the home keys on my phone to have various different functions.
28. Getting some extra hours at the new store on Sunday.
29. Psyching myself up to work by singing this song.

38. I have some free chocolate in my locker at work.
39. Hot coffee.
40. H has mentioned a late night at some point, which would be 6-12. This might be in place of existing hours (which would hopefully be front till) or in addition to said hours. Either way, woohoo!
41. The person who let me out in traffic.
42. My cordless keyboard and mouse. So much easier.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. A customer was rude to me. But karma got him back, as he left through the problem door, which whacked him on the backside as he left.
2. Laughing with my colleagues.
3. This lolcat.
4. This loldog.

1. Safe driving. MANIFESTED.

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

1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
2. Waking at my convenience, not an alarm clock.
3. Breakfast cereals.
4. I have a large portion of the day to myself.
5. I get paid in 2 days.
6. I’m only working 3 hours today, and the same tomorrow.
7. It will be nice and quiet tonight. For all the fact it’s close to Xmas, the shop isn’t really busy at night.
8. I seem to have landed on my feet with the news scanning on a Monday morning. It’s 6 hours out of a 12 hour week, that I can’t go on the till during. If H keeps me working the two 3 hour shifts at night, that will be fantastic. Any overtime I do will be covered by someone else on the till, which means I’ll hardly be using it. Which is fantastic.
9. Lovefilm have sent me another couple of DVD’s.
10. Reading some more of Dawnspell.
11. Hot coffee.
12. Finding a new ringtone for my phone.
13. Tasty soup before going out to work.
14. Safe driving.
15. Work went quite well. I was kept busy. Nice and quiet on the customer front, though.
16. Laughing with Dinky and J.
17. I avoided A’s jabbering by talking over her. And showing her some ridiculous earrings I saw in a catalogue.
18. I got some books at a discount, both by themselves and with a 20% discount voucher (which is better than staff discount).
19. A customer gave me the 20% off coupon. Well, I dropped it, and she said she didn’t want it.
20. Free chocolate.
21. I have an extra 4 hours tomorrow. S wants me at the new store.
22. I scored a free photography book today. It has some amazing natural history shots.
23. A bacon and egg sandwich for tea, with a cup of hot sweet tea to follow.
24. Playing with Wenna.
25. Figuring out how to do something new with some software I use.
26. I don’t need to get fuel until tomorrow night at the earliest.
27. I got my payslip today, and it’s more than I was expecting.
28. Chatting to my Rani.
29. Cold cold water.
30. I won’t be on the till at the new store at all.
31. The new position that my fan heater is in is great. It blows directly onto my head if I sit back in the chair. And it’s no longer blocked by anything, so all the heat goes into the room, instead of warming my bookcase.
32. Getting an early night ready for tomorrow.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. Good vibrations.
2. This loldog.
3. This lolrabbit.

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

1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
2. Waking OK at 9AM.
3. More weird dreams. I was walking in the dark with mom, dad and Nat along a road that runs at the bottom of the estate, by the fields. Lots of teenagers were coming towards us, so we walked through them into the estate. There were some new apartments that had been built, and somehow we ended up in the lobby trying to get a coffee machine to work. While all this was going on, 2 St Bernard dogs came up to me and I was stroking them. I have no idea what this means, if anything.
4. Oddly, that I’m going in to work today. It’s not that I’m going to get paid and it’s not that I don’t have to fetch Nat’s car. Maybe it’s for the social interaction?
5. My lovely comfortable warm bed. I could live in a shack in the middle of nowhere as long as I had my bed.
6. Breakfast cereals.
7. Listening to Lani Nash.
8. The cut on my hand that Wenna gave me is healing without a scar. I was a little worried, as it was quite deep, but the lavender I applied to it seems to have helped.
9. My car. I love the fact that I can jump in it, and it will take me wherever I want to go. I don’t have to wait in the cold and rain for buses that don’t arrive.
10. That my family don’t know about this blog.
11. Getting some pictures off the phone - & . The first is obviously Wenna, but the 2nd is of last night’s sunset. I have some better one’s on the camera.
12. A nice hot shower.
13. Clean uniform.
14. I don’t have to pay for parking today. Saves me £2.30 every day.
15. Finding a shirt and T-shirt I wanted in the wardrobe.
16. Safe driving.
17. Work went very well. I got a few interesting jobs done, such as unpacking the delivery, and doing a drop of books.
18. S might want me to do some hours at the new store again, which will be welcome.
19. H has mentioned the possibility of me working over for some hours next week, which will also be very welcome.
20. A couple of TPC’s.
21. Laughing with all of my colleagues, except H, who just doesn’t join in with the banter. What a shame.
22. Getting a large piece of cardboard from work. I’m using this piece to push the curtains back against the windowsill, so they block the light out better.
23. A chocolate orange.
24. I’ve moved the fan heater in my room so that it now blows into the room, as opposed to onto my bookcase.
25. I get to choose what I have for tea and what time I have it.
26. Getting a YouGov survey worth 75p. 5 minutes work, too. Can’t be beat.
27. Having lots of time to myself.
28. The Ecover bottles have all been filled.
29. Wordpress is all upgraded now.
30. I’m not in until 3PM tomorrow.
31. A tasty evening meal of couscous, Quorn burgers and veg.
32. Smodging on Wenna.
33. Watching some more Supernatural.
34. Laughing with C from work on MSN about some random guy who added me. I have no idea who he was, so we played him up.
35. Getting a nice message from a friend. I haven’t heard from her in a while.
36. Playing with Wenna. I love that dog of mine.
