I’m thankful today for meetings with friends, busy work days, and tv time with Patrick and the pups.

Since I haven’t had a lot of extra time this last week, I haven’t gotten much up for Halloween inside the house. So today I’m thankful for some new touches from my mother-in-law and friends.

More Halloween!

And I’m thankful for a day hanging with Patrick.

I almost feel guilty that we have had such lovely weather this week when the coast is battling with the effects of the hurricane. My heart goes out to those in its destruction, so I was grateful that our church had a fundraiser I could donate to.

I’m also thankful today for getting some items checked off my long to-do list, such as getting the house decorated for Halloween. It’s not don’t yet, but it’s started…

I was able to take off the afternoon from work and runs few errands before sitting out on the deck with a beer. It was a perfect, warm afternoon. I’m thankful for that. Plus Hocus Pocus 2 came out today!

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!
