Gratitude thread :)

Saw my friend from Sydney last night. She gave me Jesus soap and put some in our friend's shower for shits and gigs.
going to a trampoline park today which hopefully should be fun
my aunt told me she's getting a puppy in two weeks and I'm so excited to meet her
also I found out who the girl was from work yesterday. Turns out she sometimes goes by a different name to what she introduced herself as. I wasn't going insane :D

Worked out that riding my m’cycle to/from work is a great self-regulator, even with getting annoyed in traffic. (Pls no fines this week.)
Great banter with people who get you right off the bat… It’s not often, so I do forget how much it fills my tumbler.
While not invalidating my gripes, I 100% know how good I have it. Not really for want of anything, roof, warmth, bed, friends, acquaintances, privilege of engaging in most desires and hobbies and a little bit of work if I want that little bit more. Can’t have it all (right now?), but what I have I am entirely grateful for. Even when I’m being a brat.

Yesterday

I learnt how to use a lighter (I don't smoke and I've generally not been able to have candles or incense, so I've just never learnt how to use one).
I fell asleep really quickly.
I got a new laptop charger to replace my old one which was a cheap knockoff that wouldn't stay in the wall (it would fall out).

Today:

I woke up at 8, but was able to get back to sleep and stay asleep until 11
Amazon put my favourite brand and flavour of rice crackers back in stock so I got them for a 60 cent discount compared to the supermarket

I am grateful I never need meet my in-laws. Stories like Seagoon’s hit hard. Blood Family is not immune from general bastardry and does not deserve anything automatically.

I am grateful I have no responsibilities today and can go to bed at 8pm if I feel like it.

Also for early 80's transformers cartoons.

And Gibson as per
