Things I’m Grateful For on Wednesday 25 June

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

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. I’m coping much better with the early mornings than I was.
  3. Breakfast cereals. I actually woke up hungry today.
  4. The glory that is a hot shower.
  5. I have 2 days off in a couple of days.
  6. I’m going to send some more spec letters when I get in from work this afternoon.
  7. The cut on the pad of my thumb is healing. Which is good, because it’s in a very awkward position. :lol:
  8. I have enough fuel in the car to get to work with, and the means to get more on the way back.
  9. Realising that everything is “just a moment”, and that in the great big scheme of things, it only has whatever meaning I attach to it.
  10. Getting an answer to a question I hadn’t realised I’d asked. I’m due to have “a talk” with my boss regarding my behaviour, and I’ve been wondering how to handle it. I think I’m going to try non-attachment. I’m going to let him speak his piece, and leave it at that.
  11. The beautiful sunshine that was streaming in through the window when I was showering.
  12. Having time to myself before work.
  13. Finding a couple of really interesting articles.
  14. Safe driving.
  15. Work went well. I stretched 3 hours work out into 5¼. :lol:
  16. I saved some money by using my staff discount card, buying some nearly-out-of-date chocolate and getting some half price drinks.
  17. Chatting to Dinky after work.
  18. All of the work I did today was neatly finished and done. No loose ends were hanging. :cucumber:
  19. I got some fuel on the way home. Not as much as I wanted, but I figured there was no point going into debt for a few days wait.
  20. I’ve reached the end of the month debt free! Only just - I literally emptied my bank account today to get some fuel. But, I’m only this much short because I put a large amount of last months paycheck into my savings account. At the moment, I’m breaking even with available money. :plantain:
  21. I’m not doing news again for over a week. I shan’t miss the early mornings at all.
  22. Getting in from work, to find the table spread with food.
  23. A nice 3 hour long nap.
  24. The stable electricity supply that is charging my electric toothbrush, powering my computer, and enabling me to boil water for a drink.
  25. This is probably going to sound really horrible, but I am so very grateful that I don’t live in Zimbabwe.
  26. Trifle.
  27. Listening to ABBA. Yes, I admit it. Commence the stoning. :lol:
  28. Reading this article about justifying one’s choices in life. It really helped me realise why I behave in certain ways sometimes.
  29. Awww!
  30. Finding somewhere that sells cola pips. I haven’t seen these since I was a kid.
  31. Mom has bought me some more envelopes. I wonder if that’s an omen. :lol:
  32. I’ve just rang up to sort out access to my bank account online, and I spoke to a very helpful chap. I can now access my accounts online again, which I find essential. In the spirit of being grateful and sharing the wealth, I’ve emailed the company in question to let them know.
  33. Hot fruit tea.
  34. Getting some more info from Dinky that makes me feel better about having a chat with H tomorrow.
  35. Tasty hot fruit tea. I love Typhoo’s Cherry Charger. You only get an OO with Typhoo. Download link.
  36. Rani texted me earlier.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. I insulted Nat by saying that she looked like a wag. :lol: She was once offered some lesbian literature while walking through town.

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

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Served a few customers.

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

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. Knowing that no matter what happens, I’m going to be OK. I don’t feel the need to tell myself that, because I know that it’s the case. Everything will work out to my greater benefit.

  5. Hot Teeccino.

  10. My PC, that allows me access to the internet, and probably most importantly, to this blog.
  11. Having lots of stamps that I’ve already paid for to send letters out with. I think I might try to use them all up, by sending spec letters out.
  12. The alarm on my phone. I’d never wake up in the morning in time without it.
  13. That I live in a free country, and don’t have to fear war.

  24. A really tasty evening meal - gammon, pineapple, oven chips, peas and onion rings. :nearlyripe:
  25. Dinky texting me to let me know that things might be getting better at work.
  26. Watching a funny Tv show with Dad and Nat.
  27. Watching Carnivale. I’ve seen the first two shows, and I’m starting to like it.
  28. Playing with Wenna and getting her excited.
  29. I know that I’ll get up OK tomorrow. It’s not just a hope, it’s a definity. Is that the correct word? help me out here, folks. :lol:

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. Providence. :)
  2. A customer at work today was flicking through one of the women’s glossies - OK or Hello or somesuch - that was on the counter. It was a special on the “wedding of the decade” of Wayne Rooney and Colleen McLoughlin. She commented on how nice Colleen looked in her dress (which to me looks like some gigantic seashells stitched together), and that “Wayne always looks like a scruff no matter how you dress him up”. :lol:
  3. This really cute loldog.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A successful resolution that goes my way.

Things I’ve done for others:

  2. I’m not in work until 1PM today.
  3. Maya Gold chocolate.

  7. I have plenty of change for the parking meter.
  8. Clean uniform.
  9. My reliable car.
  10. Nice sunny weather.

  12. Getting some great impetus to find another job.
  13. Dinky looking out for me.
  14. Cool clear thinking that led me to buying some Rescue Remedy in the middle of anger. :banana:

  27. Oddly, feeling tired. I have been all afternoon, but at least I know I’ll get a good night’s sleep.
  28. Regarding #19, I was just watching a Youtube video of George Carlin, and it started with him on stage, with a lot of people clapping at him. I thought that that must be such an affirming thing - to have hundreds of people showing you that they think you’re wonderful. I wondered, at the time, if that was something that could motivate me. Of course, I also thought at that moment that I agreed with my boss in that I handled the situation badly. :lol: :lol: :lol:
  29. I’ve been paid back by another $2 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $441 now.
  30. I’ve been paid back in full by a borrower on Kiva, so I’ve reloaned the money to Rita Okarekru.
  31. Realising that everything that happens in life, good or bad, is just a “unit”. Every customer I serve at work is a unit, every cup of coffee I drink is a unit, every word I type on this blog is a unit. It’s how the unit’s add up that matters. This ties in with the thoughts I had on “value” a few days ago.
  32. The electric fan which is helping remove the stuffiness.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. I found this hilarious video on the failblog. Don’t forget to read the comments! :lol:

22 Jun

Things I’m Grateful For on Sunday 22 June

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

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. Allowing myself a lie in until 10:30. It is Sunday, after all. ;)
  3. Lying in bed, feeling the sunlight on my face.
  4. Rather entertaining dreams. In the first, I was helping people escape from some kind of prison in the woods, where the prison was a treehouse. Lots of running and flying about. The second saw me teaching at a University.
  5. I’ve been paid back by another $2 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $439 now.
  6. I have the whole day to myself. Nat and mom are driving back from the wedding, so I don’t have to go fetch them.
  7. I have a few jobs to do today, so I shan’t be bored.
  8. After that good laugh yesterday, my skin seems much better. I have excema, which seems to be triggered by stress. Calming down and finding my Zen so to speak, really makes it clear up.
  9. Yesterday, despite my fears that working on the till would be hellish, turned out to be quite a good day.
  10. More free stationery.
  11. I have a couple of Ebay auctions to list today.
  12. Hot Teeccino. I haven’t had coffee in a couple of weeks, and I don’t really miss it.
  13. A nice hot shower.
  14. Fresh air. I’m so glad I don’t live in an area where is a large amount of air pollution.
  15. Breakfast cereals with cold milk.
  16. Beautiful sunshine.
  17. I might be able to get a free art set from work, possibly.
  18. Playing with Wenna, with the hose pipe and the one eyed purple duck toy.
  19. Freshly picked strawberries.
  20. Tasty soup.
  21. Getting some biscuits and chocolate.
  22. Watching Wild China.
  23. Tidying up the desk again, and sorting through some papers.
  24. Reading Women On Fire. How long has it been since I read this?
  25. Tasty Indian food. The stuff I ordered (Pasanda) tasted like sour milk, so Nat and I swapped. Her Pathia was much nicer.
  26. Green & Black’s Maya Gold. I think I might offer a bar of this as a prize in the July Traffic Drive. :)
  27. This lolcat.
  28. I don’t have to be in work in the morning.
  29. Chatting to Lush.
  30. Getting some spec letters ready for posting tomorrow.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. Dad complaining that Wenna ate a biscuit (and left crumbs) on the carpet where he’d just hoovered. He sounded exactly like mom. :lol:
  2. This lolcat. And this one. This one too. Another. One moar. Last one.
  3. This lolbradypus.
  4. This lolstrix.
  5. This lollutra.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A fulfilling day off work. MANIFESTED.
  2. 5 spec letters sent. MANIFESTED. :broccoli:

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Given dad an exercise in looking after himself. He was hinting earlier, that he wanted me to tidy up before mom gets back. However, since he made the mess, I’ve decided to let him stretch his wings a little and tidy up after himself. Relying too much on other people makes one lazy, and I think it’ll do him good to accomplish something for himself. ;)

  1. I’m aware of my mood and what is causing it.
  2. Getting a good night’s sleep.

  6. Hot Teeccino.
  7. Clean uniform.
  8. I’ll be able to get home and sleep before going out again tonight.
  9. I wont be working with M too much today.

  11. My car. I don’t have to rely on public transport to get to work with.
  12. #1, below. :lol: Just what I needed this morning.
  13. Safe driving.
  14. Work went very well. I was on the front till most of the morning, but I had a really good laugh with Sun and the chair. The chair has 3 levers; one to raise it, one to tilt it and another to make the back rest move forward and back. I spent about 2 hours tipping Sun on and off the chair, and making her disappear under the till. :lol:

20 Jun

Things I’m Grateful For on Friday 20 June

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

  1. I’m off work all day today.
  2. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  3. Doing Fregair last night. Again, related to the eating too much chocolate issue. I’m emotionally flat again right now, and the chocolate has somehow been wired into my brain as helping. Perhaps because of the theobromine? Anyway, I’m eating too much of it, and I don’t want to. The results of last night’s Fregair session will hopefully help me sort the problem out.
  4. Hot Teeccino.
  5. I have some jobs lined up for today.
  6. I have the determination and wherewithal to get my act together.
  7. A couple of Ebay parcels arrived today, as did some Lovefilm DVD’s.
  8. Mom and Nat are going away for the weekend, so I can eat what I want, when I want.
  9. Finding some tasty cereals for breakfast.
  10. Watching an interesting film about a 3-way relationship. It was interesting to see how the three people coped with loving each other. I don’t think I’d want one, though. :lol:
  11. I got an interesting survey from ValuedOpinions, which netted me £1 for about 5 minutes work.
  12. The miracle that is hot water.
  13. Tidying up.
  14. Encouraging myself with the promise of some pea, watercress and leek soup.
  15. Today’s broccoli goes to the most delicious strawberry I ever tasted. I was up the garden, and I noticed that one or two of the fruits on the strawberry plants were ripe, so I picked a couple and ate them. They were tangy, not too sweet, with perfect flesh. Store bought strawberries just cannot compare with the strawberriness of home grown one’s. They were so delicious. :broccoli:
  16. The smell of Marjoram, and the smell of Rose. Wonderful.
  17. Being able to shred an old job list. :dill:
  18. You know how you can never get everything out of a tube of toothpaste or tomato purée? You can buy thing that will squeeze the tube for you, so you can extract all the contents. I favour the one’s shaped like a key, and they are so useful. I’ve found one on ebay, for £1.60, which is a bargain, so I’ve bought it. :apple:
  19. Getting a line of washing put out. I feel quite satisfied having done this.
  20. The washing machine.
  21. Some tasty soup.
  22. Hot fruit tea.
  23. Warm dry weather to dry the laundry.
  24. Watching The Illusionist. Quite an interesting film.
  25. Tasty spaghetti bolognese.
  26. I only have to do a couple of hours on the front till tomorrow. If that.
  27. Doing some ironing.
  28. I’m having a bath tonight, because I wont be able to have one tomorrow night.
  29. I’m 16 consecutive days into my new habit, and it seems like half that. Tacking it onto an existing habit seems to have been a good idea.
  30. I know that Vetivert will knock me out, especially when mixed liberally with Rosewood and Cypress, so I’m going to have some in my bath to help me sleep ready for tomorrow.
  31. Realising that something only has value based on what we project onto it. The trinkets I have lying about have little or no value for me, because I simply don’t value them.
  32. Realising that the same thing applies to people, too. I value my friends and family above complete strangers.
  33. While reading The Simple Dollar, I came across a few articles about passive income/alternate streams of income. The first, the second and the third.
  34. A nice hot soak in the bath.
  35. Figuring out I’ve eaten 2 pieces of fruit today. :chili:
  36. Chatting to Nit.
  37. The electric fan is doing a fantastic job of cooling me down
  38. I have plenty of fuel in the car. About half a tank, I think. :cucumber:
  39. My parents never ridicule me or my ideas.
  40. The Vetivert appears to be working. I’ve yawned twice in the past 5 minutes.
  41. Tasty apple pie.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. The thought of myself doing the scene from Firefly where Kaylee eats a strawberry. :lol:

  5. Put another line of washing out.
  6. Put yet another load of washing through.
  7. Put yet another line of washing out.
19 Jun

Things I’m Grateful For on Thursday 19 June

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

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep. Need White Chestnut though.
  2. Hot Teeccino. It’s having much the same effect as coffee. Just without the caffeine and oxalic acid.
  3. I’ve sold another item on Ebay overnight, so I can dispatch it today.
  4. I’m not in work until this afternoon.
  5. Finding a way to stop my zip from coming down while I’m at work. My trousers are on the tight side, and the zip keeps coming down because of that. I’ve found that if I put an elastic band through the hole in the top of the puller, and then put that around the button, it’ll hold it up. Which is going to save me from an awful lot of embarrassment at work.
  6. My reliable car.
  7. I’m off work tomorrow. :chili:

  17. Safe driving.
  18. Getting my parcel posted out.
  19. Work went well. Busy enough, but not too busy.
  20. I got some more stuff for Ebay.
  21. 2 Steak Bakes.
  22. Laughing with Dinky.
  23. Feeding the mealworms. I must admit I forgot about them, but I’ve given them some cucumber today, and they’ve clambered all over it.
  24. Watching Wild China on DVD. I’d love to see it in HD.
  25. A nice nap.
  26. Waking up from aid nice nap, and realising that it wasn’t in fact, 8AM, and that I didn’t have to get up. :carrot:
  27. More hot Teeccino.
  28. Lying on the floor, on my back, blowing up Wenna’s nose. Moments like this make life worth living.

  30. Being mentally and physically able to change and better myself and my environment.

18 Jun

Things I’m Grateful For on Wednesday 18 June

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

  3. Hot Teeccino.
  4. I have time to myself before work.

  13. I’ve been paid back by another $4 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $437 now. :cucumber:

17 Jun

Things I’m Grateful For on Tuesday 17 June

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

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep in my lovely warm, comfortable bed.
  2. I was having weird dreams in the night, that I was waking up at odd times. Actually, they might not have been dreams. Anyway, I was waiting until 9AM to get up, to give myself a bit of a lie in, when the battery on my phone died at 8:57. It makes this beeping noise every few seconds before it goes. I was just in time.
  3. Lovefilm have sent me some more DVD’s.
  4. Hot Teeccino.
  5. Wenna. My big lanky dog.
  6. I’m going to do a job today, that I know how to do, and that I know how to do well. Which reminds me, I must get those other letters posted tonight.
  7. I don’t see my life as having been “rough”. I grew up with it. So I have nothing to compare it to, so I can’t really make a value judgement.
  8. I am blessed with good fortune. :banana:
  9. That I live in a free country. I think I speak my mind too much to live in a totalitarian state.
  10. I’ve been paid back by another $6 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $433 now. I’m amazed at how quickly the totals go up. It’s only drips and drabs, but it still mounts up very quickly. Even glaciers are formed from snowflakes.
  11. A nice shower.
  12. Having time to myself before work.
  13. My reliable car, that has fuel in it.
  14. Breakfast cereals.
  15. The tubs of bedding plants look really nice in the front garden.
  16. Safe driving.
  17. Work went well. I had OK-to-good customers all day.
  18. Laughing and joking with my colleagues.
  19. Having something to do to help me while away the hours on the front till. I’ve been masterbagging all afternoon. Yes, I burst out laughing too. :lol:
  20. I’ve bought some more half price chocolate from work, but part of me is really quite upset at myself for doing this. I see chocolate, and I have to have it. It’s like this subconscious urge to eat it at all costs. At least I’m now aware of that fact, and can now start working out why I feel that way. Looks like I’m going to be doing Fregair on chocolate in the near future. :lol:
  21. Not getting in too late despite giving A a lift home.
  22. We’ve had some Coal Tit’s in the garden today.

  25. Being able to easily regulate the temperature in the house.
  26. I sold an item on ebay for a lot more than I thought I was going to.
  27. Getting a couple of items packaged up to send out tomorrow.

  29. Sorting out some more stuff for Ebay.
  30. Tidying up the clothes pile.

Things I’m Grateful For on Monday 16 June

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

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. I’m not in work until this afternoon.
  3. My coffee maker.
  4. Realising what kind of mood it is that I’m in, and why.
  5. Breakfast cereals.
  6. A nice hot shower.
  7. Hot Teeccino.
  8. Looking into new streams of income. I already get paid for doing surveys at a couple of sites (I signed up with half a dozen, but only 2 have been consistent), use Quidco, etc, and today I’m trialling a get-paid-to-read-emails site. Thank goodness for Gmail, which will let me try this service out without giving away my real email address. I don’t think I’m going to become a millionaire doing this, but it’s extra income and that’s always useful.
  9. Having time to myself before work.
  10. I’ve been paid back by another $3 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $427 now.
  11. This loldog. Not so much the caption, but the picture. When I can take shots like that, I’ll call myself a photographer.
  12. Safe driving.
  13. Work went well. Nice and quickly.
  14. When I got into work, everyone said that M was in a right mood, and to watch out. Thankfully, when she spoke to me, she was actually quite friendly.
  15. I had OK-to-good customers all day.
  16. Dinky found me some stuff to do while I was twiddling my thumbs on the till.
  17. Free chocolate.
  18. I’m going to be able to get some more stuff for Ebay soon.
  19. Laughing with Dinky.
  20. Finding some more cool music.
  21. More hot Teeccino.
  22. Eating what I want, when I want.
  23. Watching Transamerica.
  24. A good laugh.
  25. Being off coffee. It’s 10:20 PM, and I could go to sleep. This is very unusual for me.
  26. My bed. It’s big enough, warm enough, and comfortable enough.
  27. I’ve heard from an old work colleague tonight (who probably only contacted me because she wants her garden doing), and I’m going round on Wednesday night to see her. It’ll be nice to catch up on all the gossip with her, especially knowing I can use if all in a bitching session with Lush in a couple of weeks.
  28. My ability to be honest with myself. I’m quite proud of it.
  29. Being able to read, and to better myself.
  30. That I’ve recognised that there is something more to life than this, and what’s more, that I get to choose what this more actually is.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. This loldog.
  2. Mom’s new hat.
  3. This loldog.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A quick, simple, pleasant day at work. MANIFESTED.
  2. Success in finding a new job.

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Fetched the milk in.
  2. Served lots of customers.
