Question of the day: What’s something good that happened to you this week?

The other day the man and I had been out and about and when we got back home I said “You’ve either got a stone or nail in your tyre because i can hear click click click”. I got out and had a look and yep there was a small screw in there. I felt like a hero because any more travelling and he would’ve been changing a tyre at 5am on the highway.

Was at the shops with my wife and and saw an elderly couple struggling with their trolley.

Took the trolley to their car, wife chatted with them. I loaded the groceries and they couldn’t stop thanking us.

Was hoping to get in their will, but alas a thank you was enough.

  That’s so sweet. My husband is like that. Helps anyone who’s struggling. That’s why I love him.

    Just because I hate people in general doesn’t mean I ain’t gonna help them.
    
    At the same time I’ll tell off a pensioner if they try cutting in line. Queueing is sacred regardless of age.

I’ve reduced my internet time and pivoted my interactions a bit more to some nicer people. It’s early days and I feel like I should keep my internet usage minimal (plus one or two are still friends with the mean people - a bit worried they might follow me even though I left) but it’s a start. Not everyone is going to automatically hate you.

I finally managed to get the vets to prescribe the antibiotics. I missed picking them up today (doh) but can tomorrow.

I’ve decided to accept a little help around the home sometimes, from maybe one person I trust.

Some back physio has really improved my life.

  I love that for you. Can you share what you’re doing to improve that?

    I am walking faster ( not fast, just fast enough to bring different muscles into play ) and swinging my arms a very little.

Wow that’s lucky!

I think I already commented it a few days ago, but people at uni asking me to paint with them! Also have received a bunch of compliments this week, which may or may not have boosted my ego 😊

  Yes I did! So jealous! It’s the small things that give you that boost to punch the air and continue! 🥰

Definitely the job. I’m not designed to have so much spare time. I find that I use my free time much more effectively when there is a hard limit.

  That’s definitely a good thing. Well done. 👏

Nothing in particular but it’s just been a good week. I’ve been eating less animal based food. I’ve reconnected with a bunch of old friends. I’ve lost some more weight. My knee hurts which blows because I’ve been really enjoying doing more exercise. Spring, it’s not kick-in-the-dick cold all the time. I’ve started doing an NDIS course to try and retrain my myo degree into something more useful to me. I seem to have a bunch more money than I thought. I normally don’t pay much attention because I live so frugally and it’s been stacking in the background. Not life changing money more like an extra grand for booze and toys - like the Ninja Creami, I’m having a tub of low-cal sorbet most days now - which is odd because I’m probably frugal to a fault so splashing out feels weird.

Not me, but on my way home I told a guy in the tram that his boots were the coolest thing I’ve seen all week (they were, pointed leather cowboy boots with red all over them, very baller). I like to think that is one thing that sticks with him as a highlight of his week!

I managed to get a “I feel like a proud dad” comment out of my boss when I pulled off a joke on him.
