What has been the best thing about your day today?

I have had a surprisingly good Monday today, work day went well, I've exercised and eaten well.

The best thing about my day today has been listening to great music on my solo run, which was lovely and slow so not super hard, with what felt like the perfect running weather. It was a privilege to take that time for myself and move my body in the fresh air after sitting down working all day.

What was your best part of the day?

I’m a child psychologist and I got a really cute card from a 6 yr-old thanking me for helping her this year, with lots of pictures of rainbows and unicorns. Made my heart melt ❤️

I took my dd (toddler) swimming lesson and she loved it. So yeah, my favourite part of the day also involved getting active.

Siting in the station car park waiting for OH to appear after a drink with his friends - listening to blues on the radio and watching a fantastic evening sky darkening. Everything seemed to melt away.

My husband was off and we had a really lovely lazy lunch whilst the children were in school.

The hug I got from my three year old when I picked her up at the end of the day. Chubby arms around my neck!

And my 7 year old reaching for my hand as we walked to school. He seems very big recently and I know he won’t want to hold my hand in public forever.

Gin!

No but seriously, gin!

I figured out how to work the DAB radio in my car (that I've had for 3 years 🙃)

FrangipaniBlue · 17/07/2023 22:46

My new bike that I've waited 9 months for arrived - I'm like a kid at Christmas Grin

At my fitness class tonight it was the hot Irish fitness instructor taking it !

Both my boys wanted to colour a picture with me before going to bed, even though the oldest is 11.

Got out for a paddle on the river this evening with my sis her dh, dn and 2 DD's was so lovely as the sun was going down.

LaterHarold · 17/07/2023 22:49

Talking to DD on the phone and hearing her really belly laugh. She's been seriously unwell for over 2 years, and has just started a new job which is a huge promotion. It's been so hard for her to manage the long hours, intensity and her illness. She's been unhappy and stressed. But today she had a good day and it was great to hear her laugh.

Thank you for this thread OP.

Building Lego spaceships with my son, while listening to the Moana soundtrack. He's starting school in September and
I'll miss days like this.

OhSmitty · 17/07/2023 22:51

It's been an utterly shit day, the worst in quite a few months, had almost 3hrs sleep last night and had a resit exam that went very badly today. My 10 day late period has hit me like a train as well.

The best part of today though, picking up Blueberry and Vanilla muffins and Costco and washing one down with a large glass of Cabernet Sauvignon before bed.

Blahdeblahaha · 17/07/2023 22:52

Best thing, my DC coming home after a weekend at their dads. Second best thing, them going to bed 😂

Flymetothetoon · 17/07/2023 22:52

Getting some washing out and bringing it in actually dry.
Sitting out in the late afternoon sun with DH and a glass or two of 🍷

Did yoga this morning, it always makes me feel better, but for some reason I struggle to do it. Cleared out all the stuff that had been dumped in my sewing room and had a good tidy up. Its back to being a creative space and not a dumping ground.

Cuddles with my lovely granddaughter.

My 14 month old coming home and running over to me with the biggest smile after being at his Nanny's house while I WFH. Absolutely melted my heart

Drawing butterflies with my 4 year old daughter and looking through her sketch book from preschool. Clinging onto our last few days before she starts school

Thumping DH with a green shell on one of the new Mario kart tracks. 😁😁😁

I've linked my Alexa to my lights so can switch them off remotely or by voice command. I feel very technologically advanced 🤣 I also won the raffle at the WI 😊

3-year-old DD feeding her baby brother his first solids - mashed banana. He opened his mouth like a baby bird and she shovelled it in obligingly 😆 Adorable.

littlecats · 17/07/2023 23:08

Realising I can eat leftovers tomorrow and won’t need to cook! 😀

wingingit1987 · 17/07/2023 23:11

I would love it to be a really nice moment with the kids but I’m a fat bitch and my highlight today was finally having the cheese toastie and tomato soup I’ve been craving for days.
