down with a chest infection today so (1) is off the cards, but Iām ill for a good reason cos i was out until 2 this morning with the gf and her mate doing halloween stuff. So thatās technically (4). Vibing while working on my late night playlist atm (technically 2?) Made my gf a nice cuppa this morning and told her some mushy stuff (5).
So I am actually really going to try to do this. Madhouse.
Walked up the stairs at work rather than using the lift, and am planning on getting off the bus 2 stops earlier to have a little stroll (going to resist the urge to smoke during this stroll also.
Going to try the alternate nostril breathing @anon44830896 posted after the kids go to bed
A.)I am grateful a colleague bought in left over candy to provide me with the requisite sugar rushes to get me through the day.
B.) I am grateful that I was allowed to book tomorrow off work
Not got anything yetā¦ā¦
Not got anything yetā¦ā¦
I also sent it round my team at work saying it may help with some of the upcoming work pressuresā¦ā¦perhaps thatās an act of kindness (I thought it kind of meowington to post it after all)
God I hope this doesnāt turn into my only entry in this thread!
Not gonna do this everyday but sharing might get people to do it
When the missus got out of bed this morning she put the covers back over my shoulders so I didnāt get cold & everyone at the office was pleased to see me as Iāve not been in for a bit
My mate told his missus that they needed to change their holiday plans for next year as it clashes with my wedding
Went and checked on my parents house as theyāre on holiday.
a) I went and got some books out of the library. All female authors which is pretty cool. The fact I walked out with four books Iām excited about reading makes me very grateful to have the Barbican Library so close. b) A colleague has gifted me something which will improve my life a bit, and he didnāt want anything in return. Lovely.
I sorted out a life admin thing that I had should have sorted out in February 2017. The guy I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and it took all of five minutes.
Told a colleague his lunch looked amazing, thanked another colleague for some work she did. Told my boss I like her jumper.
I walked to the post office and the supermarket (achievement on a WFH day!) also gonna pop to yoga in a min.
I did my alternate nostril breathing this morning in bed.
I went to a new massage place and had a sports massage which is good cause itās relieved some of the tension and sheās a great sports masseuse. I watched the new trailer for VPR which makes me very happy.
My positive experience was snuggling in bed with the cat this morning whilst having a cup of tea.
I told some DiS mummies theyāre cool (I havenāt spoken to another human being today!)
I do actually think that this helped me today. I was feeling pretty grumpy yesterday after work which spilled into a disturbed nightās sleep, but it definitely helped.
So
Not a huge amount of exercise but I cycled to and from the station. I actually quite like cycling in the dark. The rain has stopped so that was quite pleasant
Iām going to be doing my meditation in the form of prayer. I donāt really talk about faith on here but when I take it seriously I focus less on myself and more on others, and feel more grateful / thankful about stuff. I spent a few quiet minutes before getting ready for work this morning.
Things Iām grateful for: sounds obvious but I was thinking how much amazing music there is. Just listening to the case/lang/veirs album and admiring well their voices / talents fit together. Thatās one. And the second? I donāt know: for all of my moaning, the opportunity Iāve been given at work is genuinely excellent. And my boss was really kind to me in my 1:1.
I emailed the person who wound me up yesterday to clear the air with her. I also apologised to one of the other managers who was involved, and cleared the air with him. I find it so easy to hang on to stuff when it offends me. It felt good to let go, even if it meant conceding ground.
I gave my eldest a letter that Iād written her last night. Sheād had a rough start to the half term and was having meltdowns at school and getting in trouble. So I wrote her a letter telling her how amazing I thought she was and how proud I was of her. Not sure if she read it or not but she can hang on to it, I hope.
Iāve not really looked in the mirror much today. My hairās looking a bit rubbish so maybe Iāve not fulfilled the bonus part!
not sure ive got the memory to do this every day but im trying to be better at this sort of thing. today i remembered that i was supposed to pick up a prescription when i was already halfway to the bus stop. usually id call myself an idiot and carry on and get the bus home and then realise again later ive run out of my meds and kick myself again (like i did yesterday when i realised id forgotten halfway home) but instead i turned round, heading to boots, decided it was good that im bothering to go and get it and to turn it into a treat by listening to the shape of punk to come and buying a nice coffee for the bus ride home
