  1. Mum and I have been able to choose a location for a bench memorial dedicated to my grandfather, and by chance we’ve been able to pick a very meaningful spot. (We chose a park that would be very appropriate by itself, and then they offered us two potential sites within the park.) It’s actually a spot with a view of somewhere he used to take me and my sister to play.
  2. I feel like I must’ve mentioned this already, but my heated throw blanket is arrived and is so cosy.
  3. Able to take it a bit easier today.
1906
  1. An @alys when I need to talk. :blue_heart:
  2. I have a backup ereader, so when my main one died, voila.
  3. Lisa’s gone to get my new medication for me.

  1. Dad checked over our car for us for our drive next week.
  2. Quiet day ahead.
  3. Hung out with friends for a while last night, unexpectedly.
1909
  1. Due to careless shopping, for a while I owned FIVE deodorants. I’ve FINALLY used them up so that there’s only one left and the lack of clutter is pleasing.
  2. A day spent mostly reading and playing mobile games.
  3. I’m enjoying the Fletch novels.

  2. Mum is paying for our petrol and food while me and Lisa are in Edinburgh.
  3. I decided to start work half an hour late and take it easy this morning because my medication taper is doing a number on me, and it was the right choice.

  1. I saw a tree with four birds nests in it, with a bird sitting in at least one of them.
  2. One of our favourite pizza places is delivering again, after a break of several months due to flooding.
  3. Sanding the kitchen walls is progressing well.
1913
  1. I should be able to pick up my new phone later.
  2. The energy company are actually reducing our payments, as we’ve got comfortably in credit. I’m not letting them reduce it as much as they suggested, at least for now, but it’s a relief not to be one of the households seeing a big increase.
  3. I managed to figure out how to play Fable 2 on my computer. (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and then the cloud streaming option. It was a gamble as I don’t have an Xbox at the moment, but it works! And only £1 for this month.)
1914
  1. Fun surprise news from a friend.
  2. Cheese and biscuits with workmates after work.
  3. Discovering that I have some of one of my favourite teas at work.

  1. If I narrate what I’m doing in the inbox (in super general terms like “I’m cancelling the charge and now I’m fixing the graph… okay, done, now I’m just gonna tell 'em that and… email sent! Next up…”) then I can sometimes get myself over whatever mental block is slowing me down and speed through the inbox. Lisa doesn’t mind vaguely listening to it. :tada:
  2. Playing Fable 2 over lunch.
  3. Dad’s come over to sort out the lawn and he managed to find me gingerbeer despite a general shortage. (It really helps with my weird digestive issues.)

  1. My thermal undershirt is really toasty warm, actually. And nice and soft!
  2. I have gingerbeer again thanks to Dad.
  3. We were able to get the bunnies settled in with a sitter who knows them from before and has always taken brilliant care of them.

  1. Back from Edinburgh in one piece, and back with the bunnies! Biscuit has been particularly needy and it’s very cute.
  2. I have my course materials now for the new semester and I will admit to feeling somewhat excited about them. I was worried I wouldn’t, because I felt so burned out at the end of last semester.
  3. Feeling refreshed from the holiday.

  1. We’ve finished painting the kitchen walls, apart from a fixed cupboard that still needs another coat.
  2. The kitchen is still in chaos, which is a perfect excuse for pizza for dinner!
