I’m thankful today for pumpkin pie, clean blankets, a half-mown lawn, and cool evenings.

I had another massage today. It wasn’t as painful as the last one, but he did find a few new sore spots. Man. I’m a mess. Ha ha. But I’m still thankful that the massage is helping since it’s easier to snuggle in close spaces like this.

It’s been extra busy again lately. I feel like I am not getting caught up at work or at home. There’s just always too much to do. In fact, the rest of this week and next week are packed. Ugh. So I’m thankful for the small moments that make it bearable; Halloween decorations at work, a phone call with my daughter, dinner ready when I got home, and a homemade beer shared with me.

I’m thankful today that work has been busy but not overly stressful lately. And that Patrick is ever so slowly getting some taste/smell back from Covid. And for these beautiful sky views tonight.

Apparently, it is national daughters day today. I’m so thankful for these two lovely daughters , and I can’t wait to see them again in a few weeks!

What a great way to end the week. After months of talking about getting together, we finally did on this beautiful, cool evening. I’m thankful tonight for a lovely evening with these two, dear friends.

I’m exhausted so I’m grateful tomorrow is Friday. I’m also thankful for the cool down that feels like Fall, which is fitting for today.

I’m thankful for a beautiful sunrise this morning.

I’m thankful to be home. After putting towels and books over all the miscellaneous lights in my hotel room last night, I figured I’d have a good shit at sleeping. The. I turned on the air conditioner and the noise from that was like a hair dryer going through a metal tube. Plus it had its own light. But at least it drowned out everything else and I was able to use a pillow to block its light. Even though the bed had indents, the pillows were soft and comfy, so I was able to eventually get to sleep. However, I didn’t get up in time for my 6 am training session.

At least the purpose of our trip, a meeting with a customer, went well, so it was worth it, because the drive home was rife with slow traffic. Our 4-hour trip took 5 hours. Ugh. Did I mention I’m thankful to be home? I’m also thankful that Patrick had a delicious dinner going when I got there.
