Dare2Diva is Grateful

A gorgeous sunny day was there to greet me when I woke up this morning. I got myself sorted and decided not to look like a complete mess when I went to see Doogy so I wacked a bit of make up on just to give my complexion an even appearance. Went down a treat, but not so great because I convinced him to give me some meds to reduce the fluid retention caused by my nutter meds and then when I was in the chemist next door Doogy taps me on teh shoulder and decides that they are too risky and would prefer me to change the nutter meds after my next appointment with shrink. Ok, so I wasn't a happy camper however, I moved on to get my nails done and some male nob had me moved from my pedicure chair, which is the most comfortable and newest, because he was too embarrassed to get a pedicure unless it was up in the back corner, on my chair. I proceeded to tell him that if he was too embarrassed he needed to take his balls out of his wifes pocket and man up or fuck off ya pussy. It got a major

I decided to catch the early train this morning but I needed to get off a station before my stop because that particular train didn't stop at my stop. I waited and waited and waited only to catch the train I normally catch in the end anyway. Far from impressed to be honest. Today wasn't all bad though. Awesome sunny day. Got to see Irish because I gave a training session to a department, mind you I have been using this system for 3mths and most of them have been using it for 18mths, apart from Irish who started a week after me. Then I got coffee and toast from my cute cafe and Anna knows my order all ready. We went for a team lunch and the boss paid. We went to the cafe where I get my coffee which is a terrace house and they have paved the back yard to make an eat in court yard so we sat outside and it was a wonderful 90min lunch......I mean 30min according to the boss. Then my home trip was great because I got a seat on the train and I have the place to myself tonight. Unive

Happy Friday Eve. After having a pounding migraine last night, I took my mountain of meds and slept like I was in a coma for 8hrs. I woke up pain free-ish which meant I was quite able to go to work but boy have I experienced a level of exhaustion that I don't believe I have felt in ages. I still went for a walk even though I was close to passing out. It didn't help the exhaustion but I felt good that I had done it. I did come across a completely mental Nana today. She was bashing the button at the lights yelling 'Change. I have an appointment with Andre'. Not really sure who Andre is but I will assume it was her hairdresser. She looked like one of those nana's who gets her hair washed and set every week. I am home now, still with a headache but ever so close to going to bed. Universe 1) I am grateful that I had a really great sleep last night. 2) I am grateful that my headache was a lot better. 3) I am grateful that I was able to cope with the exhaustion level

Another early start because I wanted to drive in and what a brilliant run in again. Traffic was heavy but constantly moving and it was great. I have subletted (is that a word?) my parking pass to somebody who isn't eligable for one and since I use the space only 1-2 days a week and I get in early, I use the early bird parking. I managed to get the 1 out of only 20 spots left so I only paid $2.20 to park for the whole day. My work day was pretty good and I have booked 6mths worth of personal training. The only thing to spoil my day is this bloody migraine that is giving me grief. My left eye and arm aren't working and I am ready to throw up so I am far from impressed. Universe 1) I am grateful for yet another great run into work today. 2) I am grateful I was able to get a cheep parking spot this morning 3) I am grateful for the multiple walks I went on today. I needed to get out of the office in the morning so I went to get a coffee quite a way away from the office, and the

I had to drive to work today which didn't freak me out too much since I used to drive to that location quite a bit. I was so lucky to get a good run. Friends of mine took twice as long to get to work this morning so I was very lucky indeed. It was such a doona day today. Cold wet, very grey and the day was calling 'jump into a warm bed and watch dvd's'. Anyway, I managed to get quite a bit of work done and the rain stopped long enough for me to have a walk at lunch time which was great. Universe 1) I am grateful I didn't look at my clock when my alarm went off and that I forgot it was 5:15am and not 6:15am. I jumped out of bed and went straight for the shower. I could have easily stayed in bed another hour. 2) I am grateful that I was ready quickly enough to have breakfast at home. 3) I am grateful I made a cup of tea to enjoy on my way to work and that I had my music going on my IPhone. 4) I am grateful I had such a good run in to work this morning. Thank you

This week brings with it a new office space, new office location, new suburb, new staff member, new coffee shops, new walking paths to explore, new team member, new work station neighbors and I had a bit of a freak out. I have never coped well with change and with my recent issues around navigating new places, I have done well not to need hospitalization! A little bit of an over exaggeration but I did feel uneasy all day. I am quite impressed though that I managed to get home in one piece and not get lost. Universe 1) I am grateful that I didn't have a complete meltdown with the newness of everything. 2) I am grateful for the sunshine today 3) I am grateful for my walk during my lunch break which helped revive me for the afternoon 4) I am grateful that I got some important work completed today. 5) I am grateful for the odd things I manage to observe and that I find hilarious. It keeps me amused quite often. 6) I am grateful I am ready for bed. Blessings

After the sleep of the damned, I woke up feeling reasonably well rested but still sore in my legs and arms and now my teeth really are giving me grief. I must do something about that. Pain killers are a great way to start the day. My sister brought her brood over because she was going out for her once in a year day without her kids for the golf widows luncheon. She needed my help with one of my convertible tops and I added some splash with extra make up and some bling. She looked great, and she felt great (she said so) and she ended up having a really fabulous time. The kids were really good actually. We cleaned my music room/office, and the 2yr old, 12yr old and I made 2 slices and they turned out fabulously and it kept both of them occupied for quite a while. Now I am preparing for another early night ready for work in the morning at my new office location. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up rested this morning. 2) I am grateful there was a lot less wind today although the snow
