Gratitude journaling together

  1. My second screen meant I could do grindy stuff in my game and watch the old 1970s adaptation of the Lord Peter mysteries all at the same time.
  2. I’ve been sleeping better the last couple of nights.
  3. My weighted blanket is comfy to sleep under all year round – warm enough on its own in winter, and yet somehow also cool enough in summer.

  1. Fresh morning air after overnight rain.
  2. A brisk breeze and fluffy white clouds scudding across a bright blue sky.
  3. A full moon in a clear night sky.

  1. Lions game today – captained by a Welshman (who fought his way back from an injury that was supposed to have him out for the whole season).
  2. Bought a better-quality (I hope) monitor for my second screen now that the proof of concept is, well, proven. Should even arrive tomorrow!
  3. Better mood today.
946
  1. The Lions won!
  2. Seeing my parents and Simone today.
  3. Lisa’s made cake.

  1. Woke up at 8:20am feeling ready to go. I hope that sticks, actually; for a couple of months now I’ve felt groggy and weird until 9:30am, no matter when I went to bed. But either way, I’ll enjoy it as it is for now.
  2. The weather has cooled down significantly.
  3. Saw the stars a bit last night. Don’t often get to around here because our neighbour throws fits if we make any noise at night, including going outside!

  1. I had a long sleep in this morning.
  2. Jeremy made cupcakes using my favourite cake and icing combination.

  1. I actually needed a hot water bottle last night! Okay, needed is a big word, but the sheets were chilly and I was wearing summer PJs and I don’t warm up on my own very easily, so Lisa warmed the bed up for me with a hot water bottle and then I kept it and was very contentedly snuggly with it.
  2. Finally finished a book I was finding tedious. Only really stuck with it because it was a book club book.
  3. My dad went to ridiculous lengths to get me ginger beer and the kind of chocolate I like, because they keep being sold out/not in stock in the shops. (They’re not expensive or rare or anything, so it’s weird they’re short at the moment – I guess it’s one of the issues with lots of people self-isolating.)

  1. I’ve worked a bit too much on other days so I get to have a long break in the middle of today.
  2. Lots of coping mechanisms and ways to get it out when I have intrusive thoughts. Thanks, therapy!
  3. Lisa got a bonus from work this year.

  1. We’ve entered lockdown again, instead of ignoring a new (so far small) outbreak of delta.
  2. French ommlette for breakfast. Such mouth-feel! Where have you been all my life?
  3. Tilly Wallace’s Manners and Monsters series. I’ve just finished the third book and am happy that there are four more ahead of me…
959
  1. Now I have a physical copy of The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison. Deeply contemplating rereading The Goblin Emperor again, just to, um, set the stage. Yeah.
  2. Feeling in the mood to read.
  3. Finally done with the monitoring period of our noise complaint to the council.

  1. I have a new washing up bowl - metal and shiny and large enough to rest across the edges of the sink with a decent gap to one side for tipping dirty soaking water down the drain.
  2. I have a new poncho in a mutlicoloured zigzag pattern.
  3. This cute example from a thread about notetaking methods: ‘someone might say “The moon is made of green cheese”, and I might have a margin note “disproven experimentally by Armstrong & Aldrin.”’

  3. Inboxes are remarkably empty today.
