End-Of-Weekend Positivity

Oops, pushing it further and further into the weekend. But it's still the weekend a little longer!

I am proud of:

• cleaning the bathroom counter and mirror.
  
• making an effort to be more affirmative/assertive when I want something (this is really difficult for me!).
  
• finishing something that was better done ASAP, but had a fuzzy deadline I could have put off.
  
• catching up on dishes.
  
• coming up with a solution in a difficult situation that I feel was more than fair to an individual but not unfair to the rest of the group involved.
  

I enjoyed:

• more playing with my shiny new phone...a lot more.
  
• specifically on the phone, playing Words with Friends with a couple of people.
  
• going to bed early enough to get a good amount of sleep every night!
  
• not being ill.
  
• chatting with friends online.
  

I love:

• snow, even if it is supposed to be spring.
  
• getting positive feedback on my tutoring/teaching.
  
• having a clean kitchen and bathroom.
  
• my cat.
  
• my boyfriend.
  

Take care, anyone who happens to be reading. :)

Weekend Positivity

Well, I'd been doing Fridays, but note how I cleverly switched to "weekend" last time so I had a little more freedom on when to do this. Thus, I didn't forget, I just waited a day. Whether that was convincing enough or not, I'm going to do it now.

I am proud of:

• making myself rest and finally get over my illness with fever/sore throat/etc., which I had for 5ish days.
  
• tutoring (online, so contagiousness was not a problem) despite the illness!
  
• extending a couple of my deadlines due to illness, and notifying the affected people *before* the original deadline had passed.
  
• cleaning the kitchen.
  
• meeting one of my extended deadlines (I intend to meet the other one today).
  

I enjoyed:

• dinner out at an awesome restaurant.
  
• getting a shiny new phone and playing with it.
  
• LOTRO.
  
• going without an alarm all week (yay, spring break).
  
• being able to wear shorts and skirts in nice weather.
  

I love:

• having a clean kitchen.
  
• nice spring weather.
  
• my kitty, even when she loudly announces that she has brought me a toy mouse at 2:30am, when I have been asleep for an hour.
  
• my boyfriend.
  
• unrestricted sleep.
  

Take care, anyone who happens to be reading. :)

Weekend Positivity

Ditching the alliterative title, and going with this until I get some spark of inspiration from the great beyond, or something. I still plan a post on why I am doing these, eventually, but for now I am just going to make sure I keep doing them.

This week...

I am proud of:

• keeping up with my deadlines for the important things (including the other sub-goal I mentioned last week!).
  
• passing my probationary period/getting promoted.
  
• coming to a reasonable financial agreement in a situation that had been bothering me.
  
• finally finishing a task I'd been avoiding since January.
  
• putting my physical manifestation of emotional baggage on ebay, even if it hasn't sold.
  

I enjoyed:

• LOTRO.
  
• cuddles.
  
• getting great feedback on a job well done.
  
• talking to awesome friends.
  
• having a happy boyfriend.
  

I love:

• being (nearly) caught up with dishes.
  
• bonus pay!
• helping people understand math.
  
• academic breaks.
  
• my boyfriend.
  

Take care, anyone who happens to be reading. :)

Positives Post

I have no idea how to format this thing, and I don't have a catchy alliterative title for it. (Edit: Hey, "Positives Post" is alliterative! I'll go with that for now.) However, I think the important part is just doing it, for now. I don't promise consistency in future formats, or catchy titles ever.

I think I'll go with things I'm proud of (i.e. things I did that were good, perhaps things that were hard for whatever reason), things I enjoyed (i.e. things that happened to me that I liked, doesn't matter if I caused them), and things I love (this one won't be events, just people/places/objects, I think). I will try for 5 of each, and while I'm sure there will be some repetition, I will try to mix it up.

This week...

I am proud of:

• breaking down an overwhelming, much-belated task into doable sub-goals, and finishing the first one on time! (The next sub-goal hasn't expired yet.)
• saying what's in my head when I have been upset. I was upset a lot this week, but that just means I got more practice saying what was wrong and feeling better because of it.
• showing up and doing the rest of something when I realized I was 30 minutes late for it, instead of canceling the whole thing.
• getting a very important thing done a full day ahead of time.
• asking for respect in a situation where I wasn't getting any.
  

I enjoyed:

• funny tv shows (particularly How TV Ruined Your Life, episode 3).
• making (and eating) brownies!
• time with friends, in person and online.
• playing with the cat.
• waking up without an alarm and getting stuff done today.
  

I love:

• freshly vacuumed floors.
• my kitty.
• my boyfriend.
• math.
• brownies.

Take care, anyone who happens to be reading. :)
