Dare2Diva is Grateful

What a miserable, wet, cold Saturday and it was wonderful. I saw my psychologist today and I feel quite annoyed by it to be honest. I think it is because she questions my thinking all the time and that pisses me off because I too question my thinking. The last thing I want is another person questioning me. I also have to see my doctor again this week because I need another referral which is also annoying because while I really like my doctor, I am starting to rely on him to make me feel good as in, he makes me feel safe and calm and that isn't good for me at the moment. I can't rely on anyone at the moment except my doctor and that is an unhealthy relationship to have. Anyway, the rest of the day was nice. I did get rather frustrated with my niece when I was trying to explain particle theory to her and she was only concerned with Facebook or or hair, so that lasted 20mins and I took her back home and spent the afternoon with the family and that includes their new baby bird who

Difficult once again to get out of bed because it really is starting to get quite cold so after hitting the snooze button twice (I NEVER do that) I got out of bed and got ready for work before having tea and toast for breakfast. I eventually got into my car, popped on Tim Minchin again and had a laugh so I was prepared for my day. I am so glad I have a sense of humour that people really really like because I have kept os many people amused today at work. It helps to keep my brain focused elsewhere too. I was really irritable in the back ground so apart from chatting and laughing with people, I put my headphones on (my big massive noise cancellation headphones) on and listened to music whilst doing the dreaded data entry onto the govt website. Something that we have been told to do recently and the requirement is back dated so there is a lot to do. I am so proud that I got so much done today that I only have another 3 contracts to upload and I am done so I can help my colleagues. The dr

What a glorious day and what a fun day. Yes, I never thought I would say fun, considering I had to attend a 'Death by PowerPoint' training session today given by the most disengaging people on the face of this earth and the all encompassing universe! The morning was bloody freezing and I was woken up at 4am by knocking on my door. Needless to say that there was nobody at my door and my father was fast asleep in bed. Of course, I couldn't get back to sleep so I watched a dvd and spent the following 2 hrs trying to convince myself that I wouldn't freeze to death getting out of bed. The getting out of bed finally happened but I have to say I nearly blinded myself putting in my contacts. They were so cold that my eyeballs did this spasm freakout thing that was a cause for concern. A cup of tea, gorgeous sunshine and the musical and comic genius of Australia's Tim Minchin, kept me cheery all the way to the training centre. After gaining some cranky momentum at being made

I had a lovely day today. I had a pretty good run into work and productive morning before leaving the office to go to our city office for a meeting. I then went for a bit of a window shop and I couldn't go past the cupcake shop without making a purchase or two. I have noticed though that I can't eat anywhere near the amount of sweet stuff that I used to which I guess is a good thing. I had some lovely chats in the afternoon and my boss, who spent the day in the city, kept calling me to get my advice, opinion, help which means that he trusts and relies on me which I love. I'm now home and it is very peaceful and calm. A cupcake and a cup of tea has really rounded off the day. Bliss. Universe 1) I am grateful for the beautiful sunshine I got to drive to work in this morning. 2) I am grateful that I had a productive morning work wise. 3) I am grateful I got to meet a nutty, manic, red headed, corporate mohawk and vest wearing doctor at my city meeting today. He is fabulou

Ah what a blissful morning. I slept in, took a lazy hour to have breakfast and then got ready for work. I stopped to purchase porridge, milk and yogurt for work and then grabbed a coffee for my morning commute. The traffic was atrocious but listening to 'Rock of Ages' original broadway cast recording made it seem short. The rest of the day was really quite good. I honestly don't want to leave the office every day. While I can't wait to get to bed, I just love being there. Bloody odd I know. Universe 1) I am grateful for my sleep in and lazy morning. 2) I am grateful for my breakfast purchases and coffee. The coffee was awesome. 3) I am grateful I purchased the soundtrack last night. 80's rock with a musical theatre flair is a perfect combination 4) I am grateful for the excellent customer service I have received today. 5) I am grateful I love my job. I am grateful I can look forward to going to work and look forward to coming home to my nice warm bed. Bless

Today was the start of my 'no more cranky diva' week and it has been quite a success. I think it goes to prove if you start with the right intensions things follow. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up early and wasn't tired. 2) I am grateful that I got to work in record time. 3) I am grateful for the easy car registration process by going into the office and getting a nice surprise. I was cranky yesterday because I wasn't able to register online. It worked out perfectly. 4) I am grateful that I get a pay rise. Nicely into the 6 figures as a base and a $40k pay rise from my last job. 5) I am grateful I had a really nice walk and found some beautiful candles. 6) I am grateful that I didn't have to teach tonight, I'm just not grateful for the circumstance. My students changed lessons to tonight so other could watch their dad play soccer, but one of my students had an accident and is in hospital. Apparently she is feeling better and hoping to come home today

Last day of cranky Diva today. Tomorrow will see a less cranky version. I have had yet another lazy day. The day started nice and sunny, 3hrs laster I went for a snooze and when I woke up 3hrs later it was dark cold and uninviting. Not to worry, I had my sisters boys over for dinner because she is away and it was nice to see them. Universe 1) I am grateful for the sunshine I woke up to this morning 2) I am grateful for the quiet morning I had. No motorbikes. 3) I am grateful for the nana nap I had today. It was wonderful and really restful. 4) I am grateful that we had the boys over today for dinner. I enjoyed reading to my nephew and was so thrilled when he said 'kiss me please. I am going home now'. Hilarious and made my day. 5) I am grateful I am looking forward to work tomorrow. Blessings
