I keep missing Thursday
Trying to limit my time online during the week, but last night I just went to bed early. Cold, tired, and the minute my head hit the pillow, filled with various versions of rage dreams. BAH.
So, gratitudes.
Grateful for:
* Friendships.
* Healthy relatives ... oh crap I meant to call Dad today and now it's too late...sigh.
* Productive streak. Or streak of stable productivity. Either way, NICE. Helps that I'm hitting scenes were things I've set up are starting to pay on several levels. I'm at around page 275 of a 480-page manuscript.
* Sunshine. Cold as heck today, yet yesterday and today were *lovely.* So nice to see the sky.
* Cuddly kitties. Tabitha will consistently come for cuddles now, as long as only my arm is showing from under the covers. I guess she's thinks I'm reduced to a robo-butler that way? I dunno. Fuzzy logic is weird.
* Sweetie.
* Recipes that work. I made a chicken soup this week that was ... less than, but tonight I made a mussamun curry that was awesome, if I say so myself, and I do.
* Folks who jump in with ideas and suggestions that are actually USEFUL!!!
* That "tipping point" sense that I've finally gotten to the point where I'm not working uphill against myself, but am adding to my skills and abilities and responsibilities in ways that are layered and work together, so learning and improving is getting a little easier, or at least a lot less like trying to walk through tar. ... and that probably made no sense to anybody but me, but then I'm writing these to remind myself of the things I'm grateful for, so hey, that's what matters.
* Uh. Coffee. Warm blankets. Warm cats. Hot cocoa. Pellet stove. Can you tell the house needs better insulation?
So yeah, I think that's a wrap for tonight.
