NST February 2025 Love and Kindness

I'm sure your head teacher is pleased to have you on board @Thrifty_Taylorand that your review will reflect that.

Chillier here today, so naturally it was the day I had chosen to replace my little patio pond tub with a much bigger one. I already had the container and the plants (which needed more space), just needed to buy gravel for the bottom. All done now, but what a cold, muddy job! I will need to buy a bag of the floating pond weed stuff as that always dies overwinter, but all the other plants are fine and starting to grow.

Also potted up the chilli seedlings while I was muddy anyway. They are now back under their growlight to recover.

Now all cleaned up ready to tackle sorting out the dining room, which is just a bit dusty and cobwebby as opposed to muddy!

Today I am grateful for some work in a new place and meeting lovely people there, for finishing earlier than anticipated so I was able to be waiting for Pip, for my 'new' rucksack off v1ntd, for getting my veggies down me (though not nearly as many as grandmanerd!).

I'll get on with march in the next day or so. I'm working again tomorrow, but might be able to start to plan it.

Yesterday and today have been nsds so I am now on #10. Should make 12 or 13 this month. Wanted to get to 15 but this month just has been more spendy than I thought.

Well done ladies on your achievements, you'll all go to bed with a smile on your faces 😀

Thanks @DawnW. The HT was very pleased with my work & how I'd trained up a new member of staff. Said she wishes she could clone me! 🤣 Think one of me is more than enough 😂🤣😂

Did my exercises, etc before breakfast. Was tired when I got home from work, so had a nap. Got 2 more sewing jobs done after tea.

Grateful for messages from new customers (3 in 2 days), DS1 feeling more positive (he read 4 long chapters this afternoon!), a good review, & a cosy fire

Good morning☔

Sorry for my absence! It's been a stressful few days as I gear up for a court hearing tomorrow with my employer. I will be so glad when I can lay all of this to rest and stop having to dredge up 3 years worth of negativity and struggle. I keep telling myself I have this - I have so much medical evidence, and support from colleagues etc - it is just not pleasant. I am confident that justice will prevail in the end ⚖ (those are scales not little boobies!). 

Nearly the end of the month - hoorah. I always seem to be super motivated 🤩the first half of the month and less so 🥱 in the latter half. I think I must cycle with the moon - that or my waxing and waning bank balance haha (probably a bit of both!)

Spent some time re-visiting the feng-shui in my apartment. Interestingly my career corner is in a cupboard where my washing machine is! Maybe that's why it has been so turbulent 😂 I realised it is the forgotten, least loved section of my home because it's small and behind a door. So I am clearing out the space... and giving it a clean - and sprucing it up with some love and decoration as best I can. I have bought a lovely canvas to hang on the outer door too, as well as a few little ornaments for inside. Watch this space haha. 

Yesterday NSD = 10

I am grateful for: 

1) The support of my Solicitor and Barrister 
2) Old painful experiences that are leaving my life - I am grateful for the lessons learned from them 
3) My family and friends for their unwavering support also

See you all tomorrow x

I agree with you. I tend to fill the beginning of my month up and power through but get tired and find the second part of the month struggling to get as much completed. I do the same weekly. Fill
Monday and Tuesday up with extras after work, clubs etc and then Thursday and Friday I’m pooped. 

Think today is nsd #11. It’s been rainy and yuck here. A day I would like to hibernate.

Today I am grateful for a busy day to stop me getting bored, for Pip getting up earlier than usual, for the lovely colours the sky went this evening,for not getting too wet in the rain.

Hang in there, abundant. We've got your back❤️

Thrifty_Taylor

Thanks @beanielou. I hope you're doing ok. If you want to message me on FB any time, I'll always reply 😊
Thinking of you @abundant1972 & hope all goes well tomorrow. We've got our pompoms ready, to cheer you on & get the resolution you deserve.

A busy morning, exercise, Norwegian then made my dinners for the next 3 days. Was ready for a nap by the time I left for work! 🤣

A different start to my timetable today, but I was able to settle 2 pupils who were struggling first thing, so a good job I was free to help out! Went for a walk with work bestie after school, a beautiful, calm evening.

Had a film night with DH, DS1&3, & sewed up the bits of a gonk I've knitted so far. We also watched the start of the original 'The Witches', as it is filmed in Gamle Bergen (Old Bergen), which we visited when we were on holiday 2 years ago. Had never made the connection til DS1 said the other day. Good reminiscing 😊

Grateful for being able to help the pupils, a great walk, family time

DawnW

All the best for today @abundant1972
