Seat

Managed to hold it together when I wanted to hide under the duvet and cry
The boiler's finished
Had the sense to use the work loo when I went to collect husband - the water at home was off a lot longer than I'd been told
Did long enough at husband's standing desk to know I would hate to have one
I got it to a nice height for sitting on the ball though
Made it to ball class
Got an assessment place for the work training 
Thankful for being flexible enough to manage the ball class and everyday tasks - walking, bending, stretching, that I can carry shopping and crouch down to unload the dishwasher etc.
For having friends 
For husband being fab, supportive and calming
Being in a good team at work and having a fab boss

Initiative

Husband let me do him an egg for breakfast - happy to be taking a small share of the cooking
He sorted dinner out while I was stuck working
Discovered and corrected an issue - messages the boss to tell him what I was doing and he supports it
He replies quickly and usually agrees with what we've decided
Had a good chat with a team mate in the team meeting, he recommends some gardens I'm thinking about visiting

Flowers

Still got myself to the woods
Enjoyed a fair backwards walk
And some time on the swings
Got my new plant soaked and into the garden
Did my duty seeing a friend
Firmly stated my boundary
Enjoyed chatting with husband after
Friend used the same scenario as me, and it was successful for her 
My hazel has nuts
The mint is doing well
A plant from a friend has flowered for the first time
Finally won the new game my plants are lovely, am enjoying the garden

Dinner

Husband did roast pork, super yummy 
Got to sit out on the swing for a bit
Thankful it's the weekend and I got a lie in
Played the new game, seems ok
Have started on the new waffle blanket - am pleased I figured out the pattern, and remembered how to do the foundation row - is a much better start to projects

Hobbies

Found some files for the tokens I was looking for & husband printed them for me
Can reduce them to half size which will work better
Finally played the new game & enjoyed it
Got myself more settled into the tasks at work - & have started the bulk of the document
Messaged a few friends to make plans
Optimistic I have enough wool to make a blanket 
Found some really cool websites for visualising gaming data
Got a little bit more of the grass cut

Recovery

Felt better after messaging gaming guy to apologise 
Thankful for a lie in and the emergency Xanax
Got myself to the dentist and got parked ok
Got a choice of locations for referal, and one is much closer than where husband went 
Had plenty of time on parking ticket so had a wander through the park
The freedom to text my boss and take the day off
The crystal shop was closed so I got myself two the wool and treated myself to gorgeous wool 
The sensory gardens have annual passes again so I got myself one and enjoyed a wander round the gardens
Sat out on the swing for a bit
Got a video watched for the new game, thankful for playthroughs and the wealth of information available these days, is good to get a range of experiences and opinions
Got a lovely new plant for the front garden
Managed to get the canopy onto the swing myself 
Was feeling better by mid afternoon
Collected husband in time to collect my prescription too
He bought more chicken to make me more curry 
So thankful he takes care of the shopping and cooking 
And he brought me a treat

Gaming

Gaming was good - game is much more fun with 4 players.  Looking forward to getting the 2 player version.
We've agreed to play the expansion next time.
It was warm enough to sit out on the swing, and the seat had dried
Got a walk round the block 
Workmate showed me his really cool toy 
Have chosen a date for gaming & he's going to show his new toy to husband (who I think will appreciate it)

Trouble shooting

Easily solved workmate's issues, and he's using a project I abandoned - am glad all that work's being out to use
Figured something else out today, notes for later
Looking forward to gaming tomorrow, & then I can play the expansion with husband which is much better than the base game
Ate the corn on the cob
Got out for a walk around the block - implementing better habits
Ama enjoying the crochet project I started

Wool

Husband suggested a walk and it was nice being out with him again
A longer walk at lunch, & a visit to the chippie
Got my swing seat erected & had a little swing - the rain stayed away
Suggested wording to the boss and am ready to progress that 
Found some nice wool and have started another scarf - am enjoying the crochet, and the audiobook I'm really wanting is nearly available 
Scarves are easy to give away & fun to make
Glad they're not just clutter

Relaxing

Gave myself a lovely lie in with crystal treatment, I have a fabulous collection 
Got everything except miniatures into the tapestry box and all the minis fit in the expansion box
The new pop husband got is lovely 
He did yummy roast pork
Made it to pilates 
For having space and storage for hobbies, giving away the table means I have room for pilates & yoga

Success

Was easy to remove shower spider from shower
Being able to take breaks as I need then, & a long lunch to get my mojo back
Made up some time with an issue that came in late, & I got seen to be helpful
Have enough work for tomorrow to keep avoiding the thing I'm avoiding
Trouble shooting workmate's issue was easy and I got to have sufficient input to intercept 
Meeting was better than I expected and I enjoyed the cuppa I had, also glad I took the water
Someone heard and passed on what I said, & it was accepted
I got a parking space and we got out of the carpark before most people tried

Relief

The spare Aircon unit works and husband's set it up in the bedroom for me
Is noticeably cooler in there now
The dining room was tolerable and I beat the scenario I was stuck on
Managed to turn off notification noises on the phone
The tapas restaurant does delivery now & the sweet potato fries crunched up nicely in the air fryer
Very glad we had no chores today and I could relax and not move much
Remembered to water the garden & most of the plants look fine
The mint is doing well and the alpine in the front garden is getting good coverage

Entertained

Thankful to be able to take the day off
For the Aircon & having a choice of rooms

Cooling

Being able to set up at husband's desk and escape the upstairs heat
Team meeting was a laugh
Figured out the new software enough to get by, & create a quick reference guide
The meeting was quiet enough for me to ask a question & get some discussion points
Got a reasonable card for niece & still have a few stamps so I'm most of the way to sending it
Am loving the new game I got
Got the garden watered, glad we have the outside tap and the house, & husband pours water out onto the plants too

Games

Remembered the videos I recorded in time before the automatic expiry - have removed that now
Found a better way to share than adding everyone's email address
Much better activity than what I was supposed to be doing 
My new game arrived, exciting stuff!
Friend arrived with a new game for us
The game I thinking of buying from him is one husband was interested in anyway - so I've claimed it 
Husband came round to the chippie with me
There was no issue at the chemist, even though I'd forgotten to take my old medication back


Tuesday, 8 July 2025

Social

Made it to lunch with a friend, had a good catch up
Friend has listed some feasible games I can consider, & confirmed plans for tomorrow 
The urgent thing got taken care of
Remembered to phone my parents & had a reasonable conversation with my mum
Making nice progress on the shawl, getting the hang of it now

Healthcare

Getting fuel where I did yesterday meant I knew the road I wanted to take today was likely closed
I took the other road today, & the original choice was indeed closed
Arrived in good time, & got my library books returned
Blood results were fine, a few to keep an eye on & retest 6 monthly confirmed
He agreed to the dose reduction

Organised lunch with a friend for tomorrow
& found out about garden tours in time to arrange to get to one!

Noticed the printing was off early in the process & got it stopped, not much waste

For access to playthroughs & reviews so I can check out games before buying them

Husband instantly ordered the thing I sent him the link to


Sunday, 6 July 2025

Well balanced

Managed to get up in time for a shower before the walk
Walk was ok, mostly dry
Had a good chat with the coffee van man
Remembered to get fuel 
Hoovered the stairs - much easier with hand held
Doing well with the dose decrease
Weather is cooler, and hay fever has eased

Saturday, 5 July 2025

Better

I was energised today, cleaned the kitchen & husband noticed.  It looks lovely clean

The curry he made me is yummy

& I just remembered to put it in the freezer

Found out about cool new features in the tracking app.  Still getting hours of entertainment from it

Enjoying the cooler weather & the hay fever is easing

The dose reduction seems to be having no ill effect now
