Things I’m Grateful For on Wednesday 25 June
Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:
- Getting a good night’s sleep.
- I’m coping much better with the early mornings than I was.
- Breakfast cereals. I actually woke up hungry today.
- The glory that is a hot shower.
- I have 2 days off in a couple of days.
- I’m going to send some more spec letters when I get in from work this afternoon.
- The cut on the pad of my thumb is healing. Which is good, because it’s in a very awkward position.
- I have enough fuel in the car to get to work with, and the means to get more on the way back.
- 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.
- 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.
- The beautiful sunshine that was streaming in through the window when I was showering.
- Having time to myself before work.
- Finding a couple of really interesting articles.
- Safe driving.
- Work went well. I stretched 3 hours work out into 5¼.
- I saved some money by using my staff discount card, buying some nearly-out-of-date chocolate and getting some half price drinks.
- Chatting to Dinky after work.
- All of the work I did today was neatly finished and done. No loose ends were hanging.
- 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.
- 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.
- I’m not doing news again for over a week. I shan’t miss the early mornings at all.
- Getting in from work, to find the table spread with food.
- A nice 3 hour long nap.
- The stable electricity supply that is charging my electric toothbrush, powering my computer, and enabling me to boil water for a drink.
- This is probably going to sound really horrible, but I am so very grateful that I don’t live in Zimbabwe.
- Trifle.
- Listening to ABBA. Yes, I admit it. Commence the stoning.
- Reading this article about justifying one’s choices in life. It really helped me realise why I behave in certain ways sometimes.
- Awww!
- Finding somewhere that sells cola pips. I haven’t seen these since I was a kid.
- Mom has bought me some more envelopes. I wonder if that’s an omen.
- 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.
- Hot fruit tea.
- Getting some more info from Dinky that makes me feel better about having a chat with H tomorrow.
- Tasty hot fruit tea. I love Typhoo’s Cherry Charger. You only get an OO with Typhoo. Download link.
- Rani texted me earlier.
Things I’ve laughed at today:
- I insulted Nat by saying that she looked like a wag.
She was once offered some lesbian literature while walking through town.
Things I want to manifest:
- A quick, simple, easy, pleasant day at work. MANIFESTED.
Things I’ve done for others:
- Served a few customers.
- Covered breaks.
- Sent a complimentary email.
