Month of Thanks Day 28: I am thankful for books!
I’ve loved to read since I was a young child. The Scholastic Book Fair was one of my favorite things. I’d ride my bike to the library and spend hours reading in a corner. I don’t read as much or as often as I’d like lately but I love books 📚

Special blessings to my health care friends today dealing with all manner of complaints in your offices, EDs and Urgent Cares.

We took bets on how many plates of food my college age nephew would eat yesterday and I bet too many it was only 2 (I went with 3) 😀

My Mom as we sit down to eat:
“Can we not do the thing where we all go around and say what we’re thankful for while our food gets ice cold?”
Once people are over 80 they have zero filter 🤣🤣
Apparently my Dads habit of this long pre dinner stuff drove her nuts who knew?

My Mom loads her dishwasher with dishes she has rinsed so much they’re practically washed
Then corrects us because must keep the forks, knives and spoons in separate compartments 🤦🏻♀️

Month of Thanks Day 27: I am thankful for the practice of gratitude itself. I do the Month of Thanks every November but really need to make it a year round practice. Focusing on our blessings instead of our lack really changes your overall attitude over time.
May you reflect on the things you ❤️

Last night we were thinking about family road trips gone awry:
-Driving to camping our tent fell off the car, got hit by another car (damaged it). We had to rent a tent at almost 9 pm
-A rock hitting our tiny camper window, cracking it in tiny pieces & my sister saving us right before it blew in

I accidentally dialed my bestie when I grabbed my phone getting in the car then hung up quickly. She called me back & I apologized but then she said do you have time to talk?
So we had a great 1/2 hour catch up while I drove to an appointment
It was meant to be.

OMG the coach on this Zoom said she & her husband do a "Toxic Family BINGO" (in their heads or on paper they keep private)
Then after they go to a big family gathering they often will treat themselves later to ice cream another night since they got either a BINGO or a Blackout. 😀

One of my favorite genres of music lately is string instrument versions of pop music like this. I like to work on stuff around the house to this

But yeah we still need help with the mice. I've got the spiders though. (Unless they're tarantula sized)

Honesty, getting married to a liberal woman was so liberating because I could just do whatever and she didn’t expect me to be macho. Now I fart, watch football, listen to musicals, cry at sappy shit, whatever I want and no judgment… pure freedom. I still have to deal with mice and spiders tho.

I'm in this organizing/household management group that's all women. There are coaches that lead sessions and they let people on the Zoom share things from their lives. Goodness me women are carrying so many burdens for their families & homes. Sharing so many struggles with family for the holidays.🫂

I could eat breakfast foods 3 meals a day. I love going out to breakfast or brunch. Omelets, waffles, oatmeal, fruit, eggs Benedict, quiche…all of it!
