    Gratitude thread (not really feeling it today tbh but I guess this might help?)

    I’m grateful for giving myself grace for royally fucking up at work that will cause a headache tomorrow (fuck the shape of 50 cent pieces for jamming the cash machine). It’s not the end of the world.

    I’m also grateful for the nice orchids I saw.

      I’m grateful for the roof over my family’s heads and for generally being a calm person. Elder said the other day that he misses me being around during the day “because you’ve got this aura of calm around you.” 🥹This is one of the nicest things he’s ever said to me, to anyone.

      I am grateful for savlon antisceptic cream.

      Over the last few weeks have been so uncoordinated in the gardn, kitchen, moving stuff and sharpening knifes that 100yrs ago would probably need some sort of amputation.

        I love savlon so much. I use it to calm my rosacea, I use it on my hands when they are getting a bit worn from house work. On every cut.

      I’m grateful for finding an unused Brother colour laser printer for $100 on Gumtree, and lunch in the sun with a friend at friends of the earth on Smith st.

      Those orchids are beautiful! I’m grateful for the abundance of movies, tv and books available so easily without leaving home. It’s nice to chill out at home on a Sunday afternoon and pick entertainment on a whim.

      I’m grateful for being able to catch up with a friend yesterday to celebrate my birthday.

      Was nice to get out and be social but it was still deathly cold.

      Since it just happened so is fresh in my memory, I guess I’m grateful that my building isn’t on fire and the firies cleared it in about 10 minutes. But that feels like cheating, so I’m grateful for the views up on the rooftop, and having a Barbie and a chat with the old LT up there

      FFS autocorrect I wrote “isn’t”, do not change that to “is” you stupid robot

          Lol I swear I did write “isn’t”, my phone often tries to tell me I mean "don’t when I really mean “do” or vice versa, but changing “isn’t” to “is” is new

            Ah, the phone did it/jk. In recent years someone bought a firemen calendar for the boss as a secret Santa/joke gift, and I swear some people checked the calendar multiple times a day but could give no answer when asked the date lol.

      I’m grateful to have got some decluttering done and cleared quite a few boxes from storage. I have a hard time parting with stuff for a number of reasons, so this was a big deal for me. Still heaps to go but it’s good progress.

      I bought some jonquils yesterday and they’re like little patches of sunshine throughout the house, brightening my mood. I’m also grateful for lazy Sundays, crosswords, tea, and blankets.

      I am grateful for off the rack premade clothes. Sure beats processing hides, spinning wool and making clothes myself.
