Frustrating day with small wins: November 24 2023

in Actifit6 months ago (edited)

Was hoping for a day of big progress to get my study sorted out. A few steps needed -install the wine fridge, move wine from the storage cage, move a few boxes down there - do the study. Did not work out. A friend came over to help install the dryer - fitted the hooks from the old house but we could not get it to work. That took a lot of time. When our friends left we saw the lifts were not working - that killed ideas of moving heavy stuff

Turned into a what to do on one level day. Unpacked the hifi and got that working - gardenia chose to flower today

This flower is growing next to our place .

Walked up to post office to set up mail redirection. That took some time as the new member of staff read the brochure after I did. Got a more senior person to get it done - flower photos along the way

Pink hibiscus on second trip to shops to get a few ingredients for pizza

We did get the dining room cleared to put up the table

Wine fridge is in place and powered up

Pizza assembled ready to cook in bbq

Ready to serve - first meal cooked in the new place

Trade action: Bought GTR.AX as uranium surges

While it sounds like a day of progress, I was not happy. I could not get pieces in place to get a study. I did order broadband internet - it does not work sitting out in the rain getting mobile to work. A frustrating day with small wins

It all takes time making everything fit, then work. Gardenia such a wonderful perfume looking fresh after a shower.

Hopefully things all adjust tomorrow, another day done and dusted.

!BEER Enjoy the new place.

Thanks for the support. Does not help that I have what the psychologists call a “low frustration threshold”. Something will melt down - it did

Frustration threshold is something I try keep in check, don't win more often than not!

Few people understand - they all think it is bad temper.

I simply cannot tolerate 'stupid' which appears to be around one of late!

It is the small wins that add up and the challenges that make them that much more sweet!

Congrats on the progress made, activity along the way and the first meal in the new place.

Thanks. One good win was signing up new internet on Black Friday - got a solid 6 month discount plus free mobile SIM with a new provider.
