A few things I’m thankful for today…

I had my visit with a gynecologist to discuss removing my ovaries. That way I can stop the shots required to shut them down. She sees no reason not to have the surgery. However, because I am looking at potentially having flap reconstruction which would require using stomach skin, she suggested discussing it with my doctor next week. They may be able to do the ovary removal at the same time and save me a surgery. That would be excellent, so I’m thankful for the positive news. I also talked with a couple women today who had the same reconstructive surgery at the clinic I’ll be going to, and they both were thrilled with their results. I’m grateful for their input and for more positive news. I’m looking forward to my appointment next week!

After a busy day, I’m thankful for dinner out with friends we haven’t seen in a while. It was a fun (and rare) double date! We talked about ridiculous work stories, tv shows, more ridiculous work stuff, pets, students, social media and crazy work stuff. Oh! And how much I love Fridays and hate Mondays.

I’m thankful today for a late birthday/Christmas celebration with a couple of friends. It was a night of relaxing and catching up.

Is it still Monday? Such a long day. I’m thankful for a little ice cream, wine, and sofa time with these two.

Well, our several days of snow left us with about 6-7 inches. It was tempting to hibernate again today since it is also colder than it has been. But Patrick and I sucked it up and went out and ran some errands. I still managed to do a little sewing and reading and painting my nails, though. It was a good day.

It was a snow day! I went out for my art therapy class this morning, but then holed up at home afterwards. It felt like Christmas, so I built a fire in the fireplace and watched a Hallmark movie. Good thing I forgot about the little Christmas tree in the basement because that worked with my set up. I’m thankful for the pretty view and having no where to go.

I’m thankful for a Friday evening out with a friend after this long week.

I’m thankful today for a yummy lunch provided by a colleague. Mmmm.

I want to be productive when I get home from work, but I feel like my energy has just been drained. Therefore, the sketch I made earlier in the week has not become a painting yet. Boo. I have gotten close to finishing another book, so at least that’s something. And I’ve been riding the stationary bike while reading, so I don’t feel like a complete slouch. I’m thankful for that.
