Gratitude Project - 8th November

Today was a day for feeling unheard and under appreciated; either that or I have a serious case of the "End of Year Grumps"... it's 50/50.

Things I am grateful for today:

1. The return of my workplace bestie! She's was on holiday last week, and I hadn't realised how much I missed her. Work is far more manageable now she's back - I've got someone to vent to, and to have morning/afternoon tea with!

2. The gym at work. I whinge and moan about going to the gym - but by crikey I'm happy it's only a short walk to get there for a lunchtime class. Occasionally I go out for a run, but I'm not always great about forcing myself to go. Having the gym "just there" and a workout buddy who won't let me get out of it means that I'm more likely to exercise than not - and I can feel less guilty about the afternoon tea snacks!

3. A cooler night for sleeping. Snuggling down and being cosy is my favourite way to sleep - the warm nights are ramping up and I struggle to get comfy when I'm too hot... the broken sleep is probably a big factor in my recent grumpiness. There's been some rain today and the evening has been cooler, and I am excited about the potential for a great nights sleep :)

How are you today? I hope you've been getting enough sleep and keeping the grumps at bay! How do you keep cool during hot summer nights? I'd love some tips :)

Gratitude Project - 4th November

Today has been a super grumpy one for me - a bad night's sleep is to blame. I've tried to keep my temper in check, and would have been super successful... if my computer hadn't decided to be a knob!!

I'm still feeling pretty cranky and not really up for any small talk. So if you  don't mind, I think I'll power on through to the things I'm grateful for...

Today's gratitudes:

1. My work wife/gym buddy for making me go to the gym at lunch, and putting up with my grumpiness, especially when I didn't want to put up with me!! Ah, the power of endorphins!

2. Playing in the garden with Mac and Warrie, including some trampoline fun - not 100% sure my pelvic floor would agree with that one though!

3. Cheap bubbles - I love celebrating the end of the working day week with a bottle of sparkling wine, and happily  Jacobs Creek are helping out with $10 bottles of delicious bubbles. Yum!

How are you going? How was your week? Did anything stand out for you today?

Gratitude project - 21st February

Running close to empty tonight, after a household of bad sleeps last night. But that's ok, because tomorrow is the day I get to see my bro and start spending some quality time with him! YAY!!

Things I'm grateful for today:

1. A gym at work. I swam with my gym buddy today, and it suddenly occurred to me just how wonderful it is to have a gym at work. I'm getting four to five 30-minute sessions in every week. Not quite enough to loose those last few kilos, but enough to stop putting in any more weight!!

2. Ticking things off my to do list. If procrastinating was an Olympic sport (winter or summer!), I'd be a hold medalist for sure! Ticking off three big tasks today felt like the awesome achievement it was. I'm proud of myself

3. Playtime with Mr. Nearly-2. We had 20-minutes playing on the bed, just the two of us. He was chatting away to me and generally being the most adorable thing you've ever seen. I tried to capture some of it on video, but of course he was more interested in the phone than talking.  My favorite part? Being asked to "kickle" him :)

What are you looking forward to this weekend? Are you winging it, or do you have something planned?
