What made you happy today?

I’ve been clearing out an old shed thats rotten and is due to be removed - I’m moving stuff into the new shed and being ruthless with stuff I don’t need ! Very satisfying and …..no spiders got in the way @Lorcan 😂
Still a bit to do
 
A day of small victories for me today:

I managed to keep the household fed, clean, and watered. Not much done except the bare necessities but some days just that feels like an achievement.

I seem to have acquired a signature! I've felt left out for ages and was probably more excited than I should have been to fill it in :))


And a bigger one for baby poggle... he's finally twigged that he can pull himself up on furniture to standing, not just kneeling!
 
A neighbor has been in the hospital for a long while, and was in danger for most of the time. She finally made it home, and I was there to welcome her with some purple doughnuts (vanilla flavored). She has to regain her strength, but it is a blessing to see her in her chair!
 
I've treated myself to Zelda Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch in anticipation of the new one next month, so I've done all housework. Partner, Son and animals are all fed and sorted and I'm shutting myself in my bedroom and having a couple of hours me time.

We're really excited about the new Zelda game too! Just watched the new trailer for it today.
 
LMAO. You couldn't make this stuff up.

So last week, Asda didn't have my Coke, and Amazon were meant to deliver Dr Pepper cans on Saturday and...didn't. They took a photo of a front doorstep that wasn't mine, or any of my neighbours, but that was it. There were no visual clues to tell me what random doorstep these things had been dropped off at.

So I got a refund from Amazon although they tried to insist I needed to wait. Nope. They'd gone walkies, that's not my fault.

Now I don't know if it's the same driver but I had those same Dr Pepper on reorder after the Pepsi turned out to be the "wrong" Pepsi and, you'll never guess what happened. Except on this occasion the driver did me a favour and took a photo of the entire door, so I was able to find it (two streets and a road crossing away) but it turns out they also had my box from last week. So now I've got 48 cans of Dr Pepper. And I should probably complain to Amazon again but the 48 cans thing is making me laugh too hard for it to matter.
 
Well the 48 cans should keep you going for a while so you don't have to go through the hassle again soon!

Is there any similarity at all in the addresses? You do sometimes wonder about how switched on delivery drivers are... I once had to redeliver a parcel that was left here. It had the same house name, completely different road name, one letter different in the second part of the postcode. What are the chances of the same house name occurring in a slightly different code, but how on earth did the driver not notice the wrong road name?
When we first moved here, delivery drivers usually ended up phoning us for guidance, but they seem to be managing to get here ok these days 🤔
 
5 (word/s) Terrace vs 5 (word/s) Street, identical postcode save for the last letter. That said, they have contact details and written instructions on finding my address, which you'd have to ignore entirely to get to the other address. And while my own address can be a pain to find...the other one is much better marked on maps and sat navs. You'd only mistake it for mine if you weren't paying attention at all.

What bugs me more is, I've been here 16 months. Last week was the first time this happened with Amazon. I don't know if it's because it's a Saturday delivery or what but it's unusual for Amazon and I don't know if I want to risk it again. Lifting parcels off someone else's doorstep isn't a good look, even when it's my parcel. And my delivery instructions say to leave the parcel on my doorstep because there's no foot traffic past my door, so it's as safe there as anywhere else. This is not the case at the second address.
 
I've left the blinds open in the goblin room and they're absolutely loving it. Just basking in that sunlight and zoning themselves out entirely. I mean it's a bit weird they're being quieter than usual, but they're happy. So I'm happy.
 
So hubby has taken Jessica to stay at his parents overnight seeing as car journeys are excruciating for me, I am home alone. However, after an awful few days I feel so much better. I even managed to sit in a chair for just over 20 mins today doing my headspace course (something I haven't been able to do without pain for a couple of months). I have changed the bedsheets and put the washing on the line too. Even washed my hair for the first time in two weeks.

Just trying to make sure I balance it with lots of rest and not overdo it. Don't want to be back at square one.

I’m glad you’re resting and not pushing yourself into pain. Slow and steady and hope you get more chances to do your headspace course

Yes, physio said during pregnancy there is no pushing through the pain, it doesn't work. So I do what I feel able, when I feel able, and if it hurts I stop. Every week I am learning more and more adaptations, things may take longer but they are easier for me to complete and don't cause pain so it's all good

I had to do similar after I broke my ribs. It hurt all the time anyway, the trick was to make it not hurt more, and I realised the other day I still tie my laces the way I learned after the fall, because it works and I never went back to the "old" way.
