So I have been feeling a little bit out of sorts lately. Grumpy and short-tempered. At first I thought it was just the cough that's been keeping me awake at night for the last week. Now I think it's also the lack of this. Of gratitude. So here is my fix:
- My boyfriend. I have the most loving man by my side, and these past few days I have felt especially loved and cared for as I nurse myself back to health.
- Working from home. I have a job where I am lucky enough to be able to work from home whenever I need. This means that on those days when I am feeling slightly under the weather but not enough to justify calling in sick, I can just sleep through my commute time and just work from the comfort of my home. In comfy wear. With scented candles on and an endless supply of tea.
- Christmas-time. I love, love, love Christmas. And with all the madness this year has brought, I am looking forward to a few days to chill.
- Our guest bedroom. Having a spare bedroom means I can sleep alone when the coughing gets too much. It's bad enough this keeps me awake at night; I'd feel terrible if it meant disrupting my boyfriend's sleep too.
- Knitting in Winter. I am blessed with the disposable income and the free time to knit. I don't do it too often (hence why I will always be mediocre at it), but when I do, I thoroughly enjoy it. At this time of year, nothing beats a cheesy Christmas film with a scented candle on and some knitting to keep me going.
- Youtube. I have no memory for crafts. Zero. I have lost track how many time I have asked my boyfriend's mom to teach me how to cast off. So I thank the good knitters on Youtube who went to trouble of uploading tutorial videos that save me the embarrassment of having to ask the same questions again and again.
