Gratitude thread :)

  • Saw my friend from Sydney last night. She gave me Jesus soap and put some in our friend's shower for shits and gigs.

  • going to a trampoline park today which hopefully should be fun

  • my aunt told me she's getting a puppy in two weeks and I'm so excited to meet her

  • also I found out who the girl was from work yesterday. Turns out she sometimes goes by a different name to what she introduced herself as. I wasn't going insane :D

  • Worked out that riding my m’cycle to/from work is a great self-regulator, even with getting annoyed in traffic. (Pls no fines this week.)

  • Great banter with people who get you right off the bat… It’s not often, so I do forget how much it fills my tumbler.

  • While not invalidating my gripes, I 100% know how good I have it. Not really for want of anything, roof, warmth, bed, friends, acquaintances, privilege of engaging in most desires and hobbies and a little bit of work if I want that little bit more. Can’t have it all (right now?), but what I have I am entirely grateful for. Even when I’m being a brat.

Yesterday

  • I learnt how to use a lighter (I don't smoke and I've generally not been able to have candles or incense, so I've just never learnt how to use one).
  • I fell asleep really quickly.
  • I got a new laptop charger to replace my old one which was a cheap knockoff that wouldn't stay in the wall (it would fall out).

Today:

  • I woke up at 8, but was able to get back to sleep and stay asleep until 11
  • Amazon put my favourite brand and flavour of rice crackers back in stock so I got them for a 60 cent discount compared to the supermarket

I am grateful I never need meet my in-laws. Stories like Seagoon’s hit hard. Blood Family is not immune from general bastardry and does not deserve anything automatically.

I am grateful I have no responsibilities today and can go to bed at 8pm if I feel like it.

Also for early 80's transformers cartoons.
