Gratitude journaling together

  1. My parents are taking the kids for an overnight, and my husband and I have a lovely date planned.
  2. All the cuts on my hand from my exploding crock pot lid have healed up nicely.
  3. Finally found my favorite water bottle after it disappeared weeks ago.

  1. A friend’s been giving me accountability for getting to bed on time, and it is actually mostly working.
  2. Got a new game which is very fun and absorbing, The Wandering Village.
  3. The inbox is quiet this morning, which lets me get some other stuff done. Woo!

  1. The new house’s quirks haven’t defeated my dad: he’s fashioned a plinth for one of my bookcases to test whether that will be enough to allow it to go flat back against the wall.
  2. The law will potentially provide remedy in a particular situation that I am not going to write about more here/now.
  3. One of my FFXIV friends won’t be away too long, which is nice – we thought she’d be out much longer.

  1. Watching my mom being able to relax on her way home, after a supposed to be 30 minute procedure that turned into sleeping at the hospital. She felt anxious to go home alone, I am grateful that my company allowed her to rest worry free.
  2. Feeling mentally and physically capable of providing that kind of help. I have some health issues, which frequently make me too tired or too foggy to be useful.
  3. A nice day without any plans, just me and my ebooks. All I need after 8 hours of traveling yesterday.

  1. After passing a stressful deadline… I seem to now kind of be in a weird state where I’m not stressed anymore, but still incredibly motivated to accomplish things. I’m not sure how long this will last, but it’s nice.
  2. Slowly, without really noticing… a person at work I used to find talking to very awkward is basically a good friend now.
  3. I realized that some weird inconsistency with my espresso lately was almost certainly because i wasn’t letting the machine heat up long enough to maintain temperature stability.

  1. Seven bookcases! I had just five before. (Well, five and a half – I had a half-height one too.)
  2. I think I sorted out a mess-up with my medication. Not my mess-up. Sigh.
  3. Dinner with my wife tonight. Won’t be fancy, but will be just us for the first time in a while.

  1. I bought Sims Enchanted by nature, and it’s amazing
  2. I was tidying up my garage, and sold a bike that hasn’t been used for more than a year. The buyer was so happy when he tried the bike, that in return, it made me feel even better.
  3. I bought a new cooling bag and it’s so handy. The old one had broken zips and had to be held, the new one is bigger, not broken and is a backpack.

  1. Settling in at the new house finally.
  2. Dad brought all my books over from the storage unit yesterday. Organising them is fun, but tiring!
  3. My new sit/stand desk is pretty neat, especially since it’s on casters and I can move it around in whatever way suits me in the moment.

  1. 20th anniversary with my wife! (20th anniversary of getting together, 9th of being married.)
  2. UK politics: Seeing the pushback by cis people against the UK “gender critical” crew and the legislative changes they want in order to push trans and non-binary people into the closet/get rid of us entirely. Will it be enough? Who knows, but at least not everyone is enabling them.
  3. Signing up for the local library was really easy.
