Three positives of today

Another frequented thread on the old forums. 🙂 
The idea is to look for three positive things about your day whether it's been good or bad.

 

I'll start it off.

1. I ate some Maltesers and they were very yummy!
2. I got some of my French assignment done. 😄
3. The new ReachOut forums. Am I the only one who was buzzing with excitement when they came on here? 😄

@Saltwaterdreamtime such cheeky birds! 😂 glad you got your socks back in the end

1. Cleaned all the bird cages
2. Baked some banana and white choc cookies
3. An old Facebook memory came up which made me smile

Very cheeky @lokifish 

 

Hahaha that sounds about right! @Janine-RO 

I used to have two dogs who have passed away now, but when the last one left was getting to his time he would be asleep on his bed in the backyard and the magpies used to come up and steal chunks of his fur during nest building season and he just kept sleeping. I used to laugh because I thought about tHat bird making her beautiful nest and how she probably had the best in the neighbourhood and all the other birds would be asking where she got the beautiful fur from hahahaha

Living the absolute high life in her magnificent dog hair nest. 

Yeah, such a legend I don’t normally like porridge, it’s usually too hot but this morning it was just right 

(that was a 3 little bears joke if you didn’t get that haha)

Hahahaha @Saltwaterdreamtime  your positive made me laugh so much - we had something similar happen at our place, wire coathangers kept disappearing from our washing line (we used to chuck shirts on them), we couldn't work out what was happening until a dead tree branch had to be removed from a massive blue gum in our backyard. Turns out birds (pretty sure it was magpies) had been stealing the hangers and using as part of their nests. 

 

So good to see you could find some positives out of a pretty average day, porridge and the beach at sunrise sounds amazing. 

 

@lokifish how were the cookies?? I make heaps of banana bread and banana pancakes but have never tried a biscuit recipe, sounds good!

Not three positives but a funny story. I recently bought a secondhand bike off Marketplace. Today I went to pick it up. My partner was parked behind me but in a zoom meeting so I was like oh yeah I’ll take her car, not my ute (first mistake), and then I was like oh yeah might get the little devil out of the house for 10 minutes before either himself or my partner lose their shit. Pulled up to this guys house. Oh shit. Bike probably won’t fit. 
Maybe I can take wheel off. Yes. Wheel off. Can’t put car seats down because.... where’s the kid gonna go? 
So I was like right, I will have to ride it home, really slowly with a 2 year old beside me obviously. Partner couldn’t come get him because I had my own car keys with me too. Dickhead. 
So we made it home. It took a long time. Then I thought I will drop him off and then walk to the car, good exercise, get half way. 
Oh shit. I need a mask while walking these days. My mask is in the car!! 

That’s the story of why I’m walking back to the car with no mask, and definitely in my “comfies” 

because I thought this would be a 5, maybe 10 minute process, and I’m also covered in bike grease, I also thought that whilst walking I would stop at coles, well, can’t do that. Coles is closed.

1. Felt really happy seeing school kids out and about today!! So nice to see our local schools up and running and the kids at the bus stop near our house. 
2. I’m looking into the process of hiring a staff member after recieving the grant, I’ve started the process today I’m just a little stuck and flustered about it but that’s ok, I feel like I need 5 people not just 1!! 4 others to work with on jobs and an admin officer. Glad we’re busy though so no complaints 

3. had a sleepless night last night really worried about something just really thinking the worst but I feel a bit clearer now

1. Exhaustion and just general fed upness nearly took hold of me today and I just wanted to stay in bed but went to work and ended up getting a bit done 

2. After 2 hot days and a super cold today we actually put the fire on tonight... weird hey 

3., Daylight savings has thrown a curve ball to the little dudes body clock but we had a little bit more sunlight before bed tonight to go for a quick energy spend visit to the oval.

1. We are settling into our new house ok, apart from the fact that our little one took a tumble down the back steps today... 😳 But we are slowly getting organised. I figure as long as we have beds and food sorted the rest can be done with time. 

2. We live directly across the road from the beach and my favourite surf break, so unpacking is taking a long time because we are out looking at the water all day. 
3. The sun today!! Playgrounds open!’ Families out having fun!

@Hannah-RO everything is tennis right now... everywhere we go (not that we go anywhere, lockdown lol) is “going to play tennis”. We’ve been trying to get out of the house and go for a couple of nice drives and have a car picnic, and if we say we’re going to play car tennis then we get away without a fight. Nobody in this house has ever played tennis... and we are not investing in rackets because we don’t have enough space on top of the fridge in the confiscation box to store any more weapons.

Imaginary lounge room, car, backyard, supermarket, and football oval tennis it will be!!

Imaginary lounge room tennis sounds like a pretty awesome job Smiley LOL ! This is an adorable little story thank you for sharing it  @Saltwaterdreamtime - I actually really identify with enjoying clomping about in other peoples shoes, I have tiny feet and find it hilarious to do this myself! 

My 3 lil pozz of today -

1. I am keen to go for a walk this afternoon! 

2. I finished my book club book on the weekend and am V proud of this effort.

3. My needy cat seems to have chilled out a bit today Cat Surprised

1. I made chow mein which is something I used to eat when I was younger!
2. Had a nice long session at the gym
3. I also had a very brief convo with someone at the gym and although there wasn't much to it, they let me use the machine after them and then asked where I bought something from.. so it was nice that we were both friendly and kind Smiley Happy

I’m a little unsure myself, it wasn’t my idea but could still give it a try @Taylor-RO 

 
 
 
 
 
Taylor-RO
Taylor-ROPosted 29-11-2020 09:02 PM
Yeah I feel you about being unsure @Saltwaterdreamtime.. It can take a lot of guts to attend a local group if you ask me! And wow, a hammock... that is the ultimate relaxation tool haha!

My positives (inc. yesterday):
- I went out with some friends which was nice!
- I had bubble tea which is my favourite drink
- I talked to someone new while on my break Smiley Happy
