[Happy] Achievements of the week..

I have been a bit busy of late so not recording things that have been making me happy.. but as I come to the end of the week it is worth me remembering that within the busy I have been awesome.*

1) I managed to high five a chap who was waving for a bus as I cycled past.  

2) I worked out a way with the technology available to live stream H as she taught a crochet class, do that we can have a close up of her hands as she demonstrates.  This close up is then displayed on the big screen so everyone can see.

3) I have successfully covered for my boss while he has been in holiday for the last fortnight.  I have finished this week with 350 unread emails, and 130 flagged for follow up.  However the sky hasn’t fallen and I have stepped up and presented myself well.  Even if I was starting to look a little tired on Friday.

Right now to try and relax a little.

* Even if I do say so myself.

[Happy] Back at work, so best be positive..

So that is me back in the office, so seemed like a good idea to try and and remember the happy things.

1) I had a really good night’s sleep.
2) I finally ordered myself a set of rollers.  Which will hopefully mean that I actually do some training.
3) My new laser printer has been delivered, and I have set it up.  Which is a bit geeky but is exciting to me.
4) I forgot to take an pain killers this morning, and I made it through the day without suffering too badly. Which is a win.

[Happy] A drinking hat..

1) Discovering that I have a reader, wasn’t someone who I had thought would actually be reading this.. I know that this is read way more than I realize, but each time that I get confirmation that this isn’t just going into the either, well it makes me happy..
2) Meeting up with people after work, it was good to have a chat and put things into perspective.
3) Wearing my bowler hat to work, (or as some people at work call it my drinking hat), it makes me feel smarter than average, and gives me confidence to tell a young person to take their feet off the seat..  Which they did, partly out of shock that someone spoke to them on the train I suspect..

[Happy] Protest, Calories out, calories in..

1) Reading about a group of American students protesting against a ruling that will allow people to carry a concealed weapon onto campus.  The have started to openly carry dildos something that is banned under the same set of rules.  Genius.
However I suspect that they will not choose the slogan “Guns out, dildos in!”
2) Managing to do hill intervals on my cycle ride home.. I deliberately rolled back down the hill twice this evening.. Not ever been that dedicated before.
3) Having a chocolate treat after dinner.. Not had a Tunnock’s caramel in a while now.

[Happy] Bikes, chocolate and washing up..

1) I spoke with the very nice man who has been fixing my bike today, and not only is it now ready, but it is less expensive than I was expecting.  So that a good thing, now I just need to rebuild the wheels, and replace several other components that are worn and she will be good to go again..
2) There was lots of Pret chocolates left over from today’s client meetings, I don’t think much of their sandwiches, (so the left over sandwiches were not very interesting to me) but the tray of chocolate bites is a weakness of mine.. Not sure that I should admit that I think that I ate a whole tray.. oops.. but very tasty, and it has been a stressful week so I did appreciate them..
3) Got the kitchen tidied this evening, it has been bugging me during the week.  I’m thinking that I might bake tomorrow, but that requires a tidy kitchen before I can start.  I like baking, but it requires me to be in the right mind set before I can start.  Something that has been eluding me for quite some time now.

[Happy] sitting, walking, and getting beaten up..

1) I got a seat on the train, wasn’t the train that I wanted to catch, as that one had been cancelled and I had to walk up to the other station in order to get into town.   But I got a seat.

2) Managed to get out of the office for a short walk at lunchtime.  It was sunny so it was good to see some daylight.

3) Had a session with the Osteopath this evening, my shoulder has been quite sore recently, so it was good to see her, even if I did get rather beaten up.   Still a bit achy now, but hoping that this has helped my recovery along.

[Happy] 100th post

1) This is my 100th post on this WordPress site.  So pleased with that, it has taken me a while to get into the habit of blogging again.  At some point I will have to research how I could import the posts that I made on my old blog.
2) Today has been a day of cake and treats in the office. I like cake.
3) Catching the train home, not having to wait long for the train, but mostly not having to worry that I might drown as I cycled home.. (it is tipping it down at the moment..) It was also late and I was knackered so it was a sensible move for several reasons..
