Dare2Diva is Grateful

Christmas day for the rest of the world today and it was such a beautiful sunny day here. Not too hot and glorious. I did sleep in, which was great, and I had another huge nana nap this afternoon to ward off a huge headache non-alcohol induced. Apart from that I have had too much time to think about things again which is a little disturbing but I will get over it. Universe 1) I am grateful for the amazing sleep in I had this morning. 2) I am grateful for Christmas ham. I had an awesome breakfast of ham and egg and then dinner of ham, cheese, pickled onions and gherkins. Yum. 3) I am grateful for the nana nap I had. I needed to catch up on sleep. 4) I am grateful for the beautiful weather we have had today. 5) I am grateful I have made it through Christmas without falling apart which I did last year. I nearly didn't make it so my efforts this year have been good. Blessings

Christmas eve for most is Christmas day for our family. I did have to work this morning but I could hardly call it work. I gave my team some Austrian biscuits that we made as a Christmas gift and broody ridicurus lady cried saying she was touched and the Frenchman gave me a hug and kiss. A very randy Santa came around and gave out lollies and hugs and I didn't realise a bum grope was part of my Christmas wish list. We then spent the morning choosing numbers for the big jackpot lottery on NYE. Needless to say, if we win, a whole department will be gone. I had a reasonably relaxing afternoon before the Christmas festivities at my younger sisters house with her mob my older sisters mob and the fledglings. It was great to see everyone and they all seemed to have a great time. I am now really tired and looking forward to getting to bed. Universe 1) I am grateful that my team were really touched by the Christmas gift I gave them. 2) I am grateful I had an easy morning at work. I real

I'm so glad that Thursday is over. It means that I only have a half day tomorrow and then I get a break. I managed not to get too stressed today which is good and went on a long walk again which helped. I've come home, had dinner, gone to my sisters, took her to pick an order up, came back, had a drink and chat and I am home again and it is only 8:30. Brilliant. Universe 1) I am grateful that even though I slept in this morning and left a lot later than usual, I got to work on time due to the very friendly traffic. 2) I am grateful I had a cheery welcome from my coffee man when I went to grab breakfast. 3) I am grateful for the chats and laughs I have had with Irish today. 4) I am grateful for the amazing bargain on Christmas table cloths that I was able to utilize. 5) I am grateful I was able to help my sister and take her to pick up her order today and for the time we shared when we got back to her house. Blessings

Another day closer to the Christmas break and I am counting down the days. More delights have hit the fan on one of my major projects and it is only going to get worse with the media taking a big interest. Today was also the day I visited my shrink. More meds. It is like winning the lottery..... but not. I was also hit on by a teeny tiny man of strange origin who seemed to think he knew me from my regular visits to the hospital. I haven't been to that particular hospital in quite some time so it was a very strange conversation up the escalator and to my shrinks building where he tried to give me his number and asked me for coffee. He waited (stalked) for me to finish and then walked (stalked) with me until I yelled at him in front of a security guard. Good grief. Just what I need. A psycho stalker in my life. I am psycho enough and I don't need to add to the mix. Universe 1) I am grateful for the good sleep I had last night. 2) I am grateful for the relaxing breakfast I enj

Will somebody just fast forward to Friday? Today was another big day. A few meetings out of the way in the morning, offsite which is always good, then back to work with my colleague after grabbing lunch. Mayhem followed, then a huge traffic jam on the way home with a stop at the shops before cooking dinner and sitting here at my pc. I'm exhausted and wonder how I did everything. Universe 1) I am grateful I got to my meeting on time this morning. I was so tired that I chose a half hour sleep in and crossed my fingers with the traffic. 2) I am grateful that my meetings went well today. 3) I am grateful for the lunch my colleague and I had together. We had a good laugh and a good chat. 4) I am grateful I ticked a few things off my list of to do's today. 5) i am grateful I am home now and can get ready for bed very soon to watch a dvd or 2. Blessings

Such a big day today. I have had back to back meetings with suppliers and I managed to keep up the business bullshit for the whole 8.5hrs! Impressive. Needless to say, I have done no 'real' work and I have meetings all day tomorrow so Wednesday will be spent catching up on all the work I haven't completed. Good grief. It was really cold today. It is December, summer and it was cold. It was a bit of a shock when I reached down to put my electric blanket on in the middle of the night only to remember that I had taken it off 2 weeks ago. Universe 1) I am grateful I was able to get back to sleep after waking up really cold. I managed to wrap myself on my quilt and I was fine. 2) I am grateful I managed to get myself organised this morning so I got to work early. 3) I am grateful for my breakfast of tea and toast. It tasted really good this morning. 4) I am grateful for the fruit salad I had for lunch, while I am on a food theme. It was light and refreshing and I really en

I'm not sure where this weekend had gone but I do know I got a lot done. It has been the most active I have been in quite some time. Today was nail day, a bit more shopping, watching some 'catch up tv', more shopping, visit with the lil sis and home again. Most of the day I was graced by my nieces presence which has been nice. She is a great companion in small doses lol. Seriously, she i great. We watched an episode of Law and Order SVU which she loves although it does freak her out a bit. I am a bad aunty letting her watch MA 15+ shows but I think they are most suitable which is why I am an aunt and not a mum. Universe 1) I am grateful for my much needed sleep in this morning. 2) I am grateful for the peaceful cup of tea I was able to enjoy this morning. 3) I am grateful I was served by such a lovely lady at the petrol/gas station. She made paying $1.35 a liter less painful. 4) I am grateful for the pampering time I had getting my nails and feet done. 5) I am gratef
