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

1. A nice long lie in in my nice warm bed. Bliss.
2. A tasty breakfast - bacon, egg, mushroom and black pudding sandwich.
3. Hot coffee. I really need to get some more.
4. Wenna has a new toy to be excited about. It’s a lesser spotted short necked giraffe, with cheetah print fur.
5. I’m off work all day.
6. I have a job list to do.
7. For the trip yesterday, I was bought a slice of “sticky toffee pudding soap cake”. It looks very nice, but it’s the soap cake bit that’s concerning me. I don’t know for sure if it’s soap, or cake. Obviously I don’t want to try to eat it if it’s soap, but I don’t want to wash in it if it’s cake. I think I’m going to try to get some photographs of it before I start nibbling or running it under the tap.
8. The weather today is quite bright and sunny. There’s a thin layer of cloud, but the sun is streaming through it.
9. It turns out that the soap cake is soap. Quite why I was bought it, I don’t know, seeing as how I don’t use soap (it triggers my dermatitis), but there you go. At least it’s decorative, and I know not to eat it.
10. My glasses.
11. Finding a cheap source for a DVD I want. All told, if I win the ebay auction at my maximum price, it will be £2.49.
12. A nice warm shower before I start on the job list.
13. Akismet.
14. I am overflowing with wealth. Even when I don’t realise that, I still am.
15. Realising that treats are food, too. And that I shouldn’t eat them until I’m hungry. On thinking bout this concept, I realise just how much I eat as a “treat”, when I actually don’t want any because I’m not hungry. Shocking. But at least I’m aware of the fact now, and can be more proactive with my diet.
16. Cold filtered water from the fridge.
17. Job #1 is done, as is job#2. The clothes pile and the desk are now tidy.
18. Job #3 is now done too. I’ve sorted out some backups that needed making.
19. Job #4 is done too. The shaver is on an all day charge. Hopefully that will help it shave easier.
20. Not having to eat a meal with the family.
21. I’m off work tomorrow.
22. I’ve had a quick hoover round.
23. Fresh sheets on the bed again tonight. The Grippits do a fantastic job of keeping the sheet tight on the bed.
24. The Azalea was nice while it lasted.
25. I’ve found a Thunderbird extension that will add a button to the tolbar, that will allow you to mark a message as read, and delete it in one operation. I’m going to find this very useful.
26. I’ve ordered a bespoke handmade hat from the Knits For Cash campaign. Check it out.
27. Job #5 is done too. I’ve posted a Q to AskMeFi.
28. I’ve managed to disable Wordpress’s autosave feature. It’s useful, but I end up with a ton of drafts.
29. A tasty evening meal.
30. Not really being very interested at all in a chocolate bar.
31. Getting some very interesting and thought provoking answers to a question I asked.
32. Job #6 is done - the replacement brake light is on the car.
33. I’ve ordered a set of bulbs for the car off ebay. I’d rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them.
34. Job 7 is done - I’ve gone through my film collection and thrown out everything that either bores me or isn’t worth watching.
35. Watching Life After People. Very interesting.
36. More hot coffee.
37. Getting everything off my job list done, bar one item that I wasn’t really interested in doing anyway.
38. Realising that I was cupboard mooching because I was bored, and that really didn’t want to eat. My whole attitude towards food has changed considerably.
39. Adding some interesting feeds to my feed reader. How on earth did I ever cope without this?
40. Pruning my bookmarks.
41. I’m off work tomorrow, but I think I’m going to get up fairly early to get myself ready for the 6AM start on Tuesday.
