Gratitude thread.

Got my uni results and even though I could've done better, I'm proud of myself for getting through despite going through a breakup. I'm sad I let it affect my results, but grateful that next semester, I can wholeheartedly focus on turning those results around, hopefully drama-free, with no one to disturb my peace :)

Despite my grumbling, happy to have 4 interviews today, and a call from legal team to find out what can be done about expunging my record

Got some good financial news yesterday which takes some of the stress off my shoulders

Fluffy butt as per usual

Meeting tomorrow with the GM of the company that gave me the offer so I can discuss the police check. Hoping tomorrow I'm grateful for a job

Grateful for cats, even though fluffle is in velcro mode and stopping me from getting stuff done. Time with kiddo on the school holidays, one day he'll be too big to want to hang with mum for the day. Understanding tutors who don't make you feel stupid when you went 500 miles in the wrong direction on an assignment. Sunshine. Home-made banana bread.

I'm grateful that I can drive with reasonable ease. I was in a major accident last year (hit by a semi trailer at high speed) and my car was squished. I somehow walked away with only minor injuries and I was back driving quickly, and I've made myself drive regularly, but it's only in the last few weeks that it's started to feel normal rather than something super stressful. Healing.

I am grateful my fence gets fixed tomorrow. Let's see how happy I am tomorrow when there's banging and power tools and little dog going off his nut.

I send the dog to Grandma's on days like that.
