Gratitude journaling together

  1. The rare opportunity to tell my dad “I told you so”. (A roof tiles came off my parents’ house roof in the high winds, so I told him to move the cars out of the way. He eventually did, and a few minutes later another one came sailing down afterward with a certain amount of impact.)
  2. Studying done for the week.
  3. Hair cut booked next week while I’m still away from home, which is nice and convenient since I can walk there from here, actually.

  1. Pizza! And cold pizza the day after. Om nom.
  2. Rather enjoying The Teller of Small Fortunes (Julie Leong). One of those random good matches of book to mood.
  3. A nice weekend with only one thing planned in for a specific time.

  1. So much reading today!
  2. My dad managed to find a pair of trainers just like my old pair that I found really comfy. :blue_heart:
  3. My old bed at my parents’ house has an electric blanket and it’s so comfy and toasty.

  1. Got a new game on sale and deeply absorbed – it’s rather like FTL, but a bit more plot: Crying Suns.
  2. Our internet got fixed today, so it was only down for two days. We needed engineers to fix it since it turned out to be because a rat or rats chewed through the cable…
  3. Back home with my two big monitors and my gaming PC! I had a good setup for travelling and it was nice staying with my parents, but this is good too.

  1. A new and very fluffy duvet which helped me sleep rather more comfortably. Apparently I was kinda cold!
  2. I have a splint for my hand that will hopefully help reduce the weird tingling sensation I’m getting a lot lately.
  3. Getting back into using Litsy.

  1. The problem with our washing machine has probably been fixed by cleaning the filter. We think.
  2. The thing I got in my eye this morning does not seem to have done any damage, despite it taking an hour to get it out. Whew.
  3. Tomorrow’s my half-day and I hope to get ahead on my studying a bit.

Most of what comes to mind right now is fiction, oddly enough. Well, I can be grateful for that.

  1. Medalist is absolutely fantastic.
  2. As much as this makes me sound like a straw-beeminder-user… I’ve been re-reading HPMOR and really enjoying it again. Although it has gotten in the way of work a bit. !@#$. Oh well. Almost done.
  3. Had quite a clever idea at work today… will think about it more over the next week and hopefully it will lead to major progress!

  1. Spent the morning/early afternoon lazily reading in bed and it was lovely.
  2. The problem with the thermostat was no more than a need for a new set of batteries.
  3. Lisa bought me the third book of a series I’m enjoying (Sarah Caudwell’s mysteries, first book being Thus Was Adonis Murdered).

  1. Got into a bit of a habit of having a hot bath before bed, and it’s not greatly helping my sleep, but it is nice to unplug and read. Just need to start a bit earlier on work nights… :sweat_smile:
  2. Finally spent today catching up on some quests and such in FFXIV; it was nice to get back to the plot and remember that a huge part of my love for the game is love for the story.
  3. Looking forward to taco soup tonight or tomorrow.

  1. Lisa helped me get up in a timely manner today even though I really didn’t want to. :laughing:
  2. New book! The one I mentioned a couple of days ago, in the same series as Thus Was Adonis Murdered.
  3. Finding my toberead/2025backlog/2025books goals very motivating, especially cumulatively.

  1. My library did a “blind date with a book” thing, wrapping various books in paper and writing summaries for them, and I grabbed three yesterday because I felt bad no one has taken them since the display was made at Christmas, and… they’re all quite interesting, actually!
  2. The new Heaven Official’s Blessing short film is gorgeous. :blue_heart: Only 8.5 minutes, but covers one of the most significant events of the whole story, when Hua Cheng first met (and fell in love with) Xie Lian. Before the 800 years of pining!
  3. Folks from my FC letting me practice my melee DPS job with them even though I’m not as good as the people who are used to doing melee DPS in high-end content!

  1. Slept OK apparently despite waking up a few times.
  2. Got paid just in time to budget extra for my new glasses, having realised I also need to get a spare pair with my new prescription because my current pair are four years old and not great for spare!
  3. Wife went out to get my medication and post a package for me, so I didn’t have to venture outside yet.
