How I did it
How to greet each day with an outstanding attitude
It took me
1 day
It made me
better!

How I did it: Look after yourself.  Get the sleep, food, exercise, and time with other people you need.Then address whatever is stressing you as best you can.  I hated travelling more than 3h a day to get to work, so I wake up even earlier and drive to start work at 5:30am.  Costs me considerably more in petrol, but I save over 7h a week commuting time and I don't have to travel with cranky folk on grotty trains!I also get more time unin… Read how I did it…

How to read all the twilight books
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
crazy but happy

How I did it: Before 'Twilight' was released in the cinema here, I'd read that someone had wished they'd read it before they saw the movie.  So I checked out the local library catalogue... 48 holds on the one book copy!  You can bet your little bottom that I went straight out and bought that book not knowing what to expect.I read that book in two days and ran straight out to buy 'New Moon', 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn' and thanked my otherha… Read how I did it…

get out more with my otherhalf
I need this 1 week ago

We knew studies would swallow up our spare time and that it would only be for a couple years, but it’s not as easy as I thought it would be. And we don’t even have kids :/

I’d like to just get out more on a regular basis. I don’t know if my otherhalf needs it as much as I do because he grew up here and has all his friends here, but I’m losing the plot with my PhD because I’m losing the plot in general.

Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.
Here goes... 1 week ago

1. Getting enough sleep!
2. Not having to clean up on my own :)
3. A call from my folks, and how they instantly know that I’m not myself
4. Getting a stain out of a favourite shirt
5. Watching our little cat climb into the laundry basket of clean towels for a quiet nap

Have you seen ‘how to crochet’ YouTube clips?? There’s so much speedy sleight of hand I gave up and went back to my knitting because that’s all the challenge I can handle right now :/
