Some days are just rubbish... you just scrape through and survive.

But today... TODAY... I have;

Roasted a chicken, stripped it and made stock. Proper stock for a soup (instead of guiltily chucking the carcass in the caddy)
Sewed new pockets into a winter coat instead of buying a new one
Been RUTHLESS on my budgeting spreadsheet
Not given in to whinging DS about wet rugby training (he went!)

And I did my job, fed/watered pets/walked dog, did laundry and cooked meals.
I ate well and drank enough water
I remembered to take my various vitamins and supplements

Ahhh little wins for some but for me at the moment... I AM WINNING

Ha OP love this 💪

I haven't achieved your level of winning however I did put an unreasonable customer in her place. Not quite STFU Margaret but you listen to what I've got to say and pay your invoice to avoid disruption of services

Full day of teaching and I’ve smiled and laughed all day. The kids were awesome. I don’t always feel like this! 🤣🤣🤣

Your day sounds mega productive OP! That's awesome.

I chaired my first conference! I've presented at then before but never chaired one. However, I have finished work and then simply vegetated on the sofa since then which is much less productive.

I've done my laundry, walked the dogs and remembered to take my supplements.
Also managed not to binge eat the contents of my local corner shop.
As I'm currently in post Nightshift zombie mode today has been a win!😁

Today I have...

Met a friend for a coffee walk with my dog - 7k steps, good chat and pup exercised TICK!

Set up new walking pad under standing desk for WFH - I am now practicing walking and typing at the same time!!

I need take my supplements - @henlake7 thanks for the reminder

I’m proud that life feels steady again. I’m planning for the future — money, time, holidays, relationships — after a long period of just surviving. Old habits are dropping away, things feel lighter and genuinely good, and I’m building a better future with a bit of excitement instead of dread.
