The nicest things

Today, I got to score off one of the nicest things off my list and one that I had been looking forward to for ages!  I wasn't sure when I'd be able to do it, but I heard a couple of days ago there'd be an opportunity for it today and I leapt at it - today I got to catch up with one of my best friends, Emily, in person for the first time in nearly a year!

There's something about catching up with friends that you've not seen for a while, that no matter how short a time it's for, it really picks you up.  Although you might be having a bit of a hard time in real life, things might not be going quite right, making that connection - or re-connection as it were - puts you back on your feet.  So thank you Em!  There's still a way to go for things to be 100%, but I feel so much better!  

After that lovely visit today, I worked a little towards several different items.  First, my 365.

This is Chilly the Penguin, my favourite Christmas decoration on our tree.  We're taking our tree down tomorrow and I wanted a little picture to remind me how much I love to put these decorations up.  And Chilly is always first to go on the tree! ^_^

I spent a couple of hours playing WoW levelling up a bit more and chilling out some; mindless entertainment can be a nice way to relax and forget about your troubles.  I did some more sewing too, while earning one more tick - watching Cars.  I hadn't planned to watch that today, but it was on the TV so I thought, why not?  And, of course, I should certainly say a big thank you to my lovely Will for sponsoring me for my MoonWalk marathon.  If you'd like to contribute - you can do so here, on my fundraising page.
 

Tomorrow is my last day off before getting back to work.  There'll probably some more working towards the long-term and maybe I might be able to find a little tick to earn... Wait and see!
