I spent most of the day working on my craft booth for the Witch’s Market in October. This morning I made some skeleton Christmas ornaments. This afternoon I planned out my booth space and got some display pieces at our local Restore. I think I have it figured out. And now that I know what kind of space I’ll be working with, I know what inventory to focus on. The next two days will be busy.

I’m thankful that my work day was quieter than usual and I was able to get a couple of big things finally marked off my to-do list. I’m also grateful to spend a little time after work with a group of friends we haven’t hung out with in a while.

I’m thankful that although I woke up with the headache from yesterday, I felt better as the day went on. Maybe it was just the weather affecting my sinuses.

A couple hours into my work day and I started feeling sick. After the third trip to the bathroom, I figured it would be safer to work from home. My stomach eventually settled down, but my headache stuck around all day. I’m hoping it’s just the changes in the weather and not the start of Covid.
I’m thankful for a relaxing night with the pups, who were very snuggly.

I’m thankful for a more relaxed day than yesterday, for a good lunch break, for a breeze amidst the almost 100 degrees, and for planning my craft-filled long weekend.

Patrick’s weekend of not feeling well turned out to be Covid. Boo. He’s starting to feel and sound better, so that’s good. I’m grateful I haven’t gotten sick yet. We’ll see. fingers crossed.

I had an early flight so we got up at 5:30 am to leave for the airport. I’m tired. Brianna’s kittens were rowdy and kept climbing all over the sofa where I was sleeping last night. They’re so cute though.


My trip was short, but I’m thankful we had a lovely visit. I’m also grateful to have had an open Sunday before the workweek starts. I’m also thankful Patrick picked me up from the airport even though he’s sick.

After sleeping in a bit this morning, we went out to Goodwill and the fabric store to get some inspiration fabrics for Brianna. She wants to start making fabric woodland dolls for children. She’s pretty good at sewing.
After that we went to a cool winery where we had wine and played card games.


This evening Noah made us a yummy dinner and we watched a movie. I’m thankful for a very fun day with my kids.

I’m thankful for a fun day with my daughter and son-in-law hiking at the Shenandoah National Park. It was beautiful, so I’m not even sad that it made me feel incredibly out of shape. I mean, look at these views.

I’m thankful today for a short day at work, where we had a cookout and hung around outside. And for Patrick driving me to the airport. And for getting to see my daughter and son-in-law tonight.
