(no subject)
Return to work is difficult for some of the expected reasons and a number of unplanned for or unexpected ones to do with identity, and life changes and stuff. To distract me and bring me cheer, here is a list of things that are currently making me happy, numbered, because I love a numbered list, but with no priority attached to the numbers:
Come on folks, what cheers you up on a cold and frosty morning?
- Rude texts from nurseliz
- The way Sophia says hello when she calls me
- the way Gwen shouts with joy when she sees a dog
- pink_weasel's posts
- conversations with friends helping me to get my head sorted
- the prospect of seeing my parents
- planning a holiday
- the ability to look something up and formulate a plan when feeling all at sea
- the feeling of getting into a warm swimming pool
- Bright bright bright sunshine
- the existence of the Mup
- friends like minspi who remember that although I like to talk about my child, I am still passionately interested in the things that I was passionate about before, I just have less opportunity to find out about them
- perfumes
- getting the opportunity to teach
- making things work
- snuggles
- happy bathtimes (really, for any of us)
- Gwen using her two signs
- singing along
- ihavecake's cake posts which are both fearsome and greatly comedic
- pottery classes and the people who take them
- the prospect of seeing almost all of the members of flat 150 together in Feb
- lovely neighbours
- KNITTERS
- going to a knit night, and having finished stuff
- working out whether I can get claire_smith to come and teach me things
- how cute Gwen is when she sleeps, really, it's almost poisonous
- my whole friends list
- well written Harry Potter fic (SHUTUP! I don't care)
- Glee
Come on folks, what cheers you up on a cold and frosty morning?
