A Month of Thanks -Day 10

It snowed today.  But like not really because it was like 7 little flakes and then they melted.  But it was COLD!
With that said, today I am very thankful for fuzzy, warm socks.  They bring me much joy and comfort and I always need more of them.

A Month of Thanks -Day 9

I'm thankful for modern medicine. I'm also thankful that most of the migraines I get are preceded by this thing called a scintillating scotoma, which is a patch of fuzzy, shimmery eyesight. So I at least have a warning before the migraine kicks in. Very thankful for painkillers.

A Month of Thanks -Days 5, 6, 7, and 8

I didn't realize how hard this was going to be to post every single day.  Anyway, so here's my thanks:

Day 5: I'm really grateful for my good genetics.  They make lazy, no-make-up days possible. I can just kind of throw my hair up and slap some mascara on and run out the door, all the while looking reasonably acceptable.

Day 6: I'm really grateful for humor.  I was telling my sister-in-law about my work project, which was stripping and waxing floors, but it's not really stripping, it's more like scrubbing the last layer of wax off instead of using a stripper chemical.  Anyway, I told her I was stripping, but not really, so she, in a stroke of genius and hilarity, said, "So, you're stripteasing?"  My tired self thought that was one of the funnier jokes I've ever heard :)

Day 7: I'm really thankful for my husband and all his space heater qualities.

Day 8:  I am so very thankful for music and the fact that it can create an atmosphere in an instant.  It's how I prepare myself for the Sabbath day.  Gotta love that MoTab Pandora station.

A Month of Thanks -Day 4

I am really thankful for the colder weather!  I love that I can finally wear layers and sweaters and not be unbearably hot.  And as soon as it starts being cold enough for snow, I will be incredibly thankful for snow :)

A Month of Thanks -Day 3

I am thankful for two things today.  Laundromats with functioning appliances and my husband.  Laundromats because we finally tried out a new laundromat today.  The one at our apartment is terrible.  None of the dryers work and the washers only kind of work.  We've been trying to make do with them but to no avail.  So we tried out a new place today and I can honestly say I've never been more grateful for a dryer that actually gets things warm and dry rather than just warm and wet.
Today is my second month-iversary celebrating my wedding.  My husband is the greatest thing ever.  I don't know where I would be without Mack.  He makes me better and I am so lucky to be with him. I love you McAllister!

A Month of Thanks -Day 2

I'm thankful for being financially stable.  No, we aren't rich but we can make ends meet.  We can afford groceries and rent and clothing.  It's a blessing.

A Month of Thanks -Day 1

I am thankful for my job.  Even though as a custodian I deal with a lot of crap....  Both figuratively and literally.
