3 Good Things (again)

So pleased for youStuart333 

I think you've been posting more and it really comes across how much you want to help.

I had therapy today and I showed my therapist your 1-12 masking post. It helped explain a bit of what I'm going through. Thank you!!

Spoons, yeah we talked about those too.

I need more spoons!! ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ

1.Got the next stage of the National Cipher Challenge done in less than 1 hour today.

2.Got the filing and cutting done on the bits of aluminium for my Nixie Tube clock/frequency counter yesterday - hopefully get more done on it tomorrow.

3.Been enjoying the home made shortbread that I made last week (got a dozen of them out the freezer yesterday).

1. I'm feeling better than in a very long time. It is not perfect or stable, but getting there. There are noticeable improvements each week. My thinking is getting better. I can't tell if it shows on here.
2. I've understood my past, about as much as I can, and the burnout is going. It has taken a lot of effort.
3. I feel like I might have some extra capacity (spoons) to do stuff. Confronting your problems and being nice to yourself, and taking sleep seriously, actually works. It just takes time (months) and effort. 

1. Saw loads of fireworks which were really pretty 
2. Had tasty Nashville style chicken wings 
3. Hope I can say this if it needs removing I understand but it’s one month until my birthday 

I've started a poetry thread if you'd like to share some of your poems here?

1. Got some unwanted furniture taken away by a charity

2. Had a perfectly baked garlic baguette - golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - for dinner with pasta Bolognese

3. Wrote a poem about bonfire night and started a poetry thread

1. Took my Artist friend to town, for his fortnightly medication injection, this afternoon.

2. Bought a new kettle, at the Lidl in town.

3. Bought more Raw Milk; off a Farmer, just outside town.

1. I survived a presentation 

2. see 1

3. See 2

1. Got in contact with a local Author; after listening to a Podcast Interview last night.

2. Got Raw Milk; at an Organic Farm outside Rasharkin.

3. Created an X account, last night, with view of publishing my poetry - from 2019 to now - there.

Had a brunch at the usual cafe. 

Donated a very good winter coat to the library. I'd bought a second hand one in a charity shop. 

Borrowed 2 books from a different library. 

1. Spuds, from my Air Fryer, beans, from my Saucepan and tinned tuna for dinner.

2. Brushing my teeth; and now wearing my mouth guard, for tonight.

3. Dishwasher going.

1. Having a relaxing night.

2. Spent last night doing chores, then listening to LPs.

3. Charging my phone.

Continuing with the above,  I am changing it with an update.

1. Yesterday I got my money back for the faulty air fryer.
2. This morning I received in the post £55 from the household support fund.
3. A letter confirming that I am getting £150 warm home discount this winter.

1. Spent more than an hour talking to my adhd florist. She is easy to talk to.
2. Have identified some more issues from my past. A trauma bond in particular. It will help me deal with it.
3. Have been ranting at the AI, it has pointed out I am turning my feelings into negative thoughts. It thinks instead of feeling I route feelings to thoughts. The thoughts are proxies for feelings. Which is why they pass and I oscillate.

1. Started reading a new book: The Diary of Anne Frank
2. Almost finished Final Fantasy 4
3. Looking forward to chilling now and watching documentaries on YouTube.

The bad.  My air fryer broke as I was carrying food in it, the handle fell off and my chicken wings went onto the floor.

The good.

1. I still had the original packaging with the receipt inside the instructions booklet.  The fryer was only 13 months old with a two year warranty. 
2. I worked up the courage to take it back to the shop.
3. I got my money back with no argument. 

1. Mum and I had a laugh about a Mc Donald’s order, asked for plain nuggets but got pepper so we said we’ve been tricked on Halloween
2. Got my new tapo lightbulb set up so can now change the colour of the light. Just hope there is a cycle feature
3. Got more furniture delivered today 

Now like in Kirby and the forgotten land, I will teleport to my land of dreams. See ya round 

1. Difference

2. Abstraction

3. Oddness

Celebrate good sourdough c'mon

Enjoy (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
