Today, I'm mostly thankful that the day is over, but I'm also grateful for:

1. Fun shopping for cool papers.  One of the best anti-depressants.
2. Fresh fruits and veggies, especially blueberries. Yum.
3. Peanut butter smoothie recipe on One Frugal Foodie. I'm looking forward to trying it.
4. The ability to be pretty independent, and the connections to not have to ( Read more... )

Today was a horrible day. Mostly, I was sad and cranky and depressed, all for no apparent reason.  There were some problems, too, but I really don't think that they would have been more than annoying if I weren't so upset already.

So, tonight, I completely and utterly fell off the meal plan: macaroni and cheese, hamburger, chocolate brownie soy ( Read more... )

Today, I'm thankful for:

1. Newly cut and colored hair, with a touch of violet this time.  I kind of like it.
2. Met a fun guy at the bus stop, and had a lovely conversation with a lady on the bus.  It was probably the most fun bus ride in quite a while.
3. Got out of Costco at under $100, almost all cat stuff: should be set on cat food and litter for a while!
4. ( Read more... )

Today, I'm thankful for:

1. Good, healthy, yummy lunch and dinner.  I think I'm over 9 servings of fruits and veggies today.  Dinner was a huge taco salad, heavy on salad, medium on meat, a tomato, small avocado, and homemade spicy fresh lemon juice dressing, with no cheese, beans, sour cream, or chips.  Nom, nom, nom.
2. I really do work with the best ( Read more... )

Today, I'm thankful that:

1. I have a good job with benefits, including sick leave.
2. That I've been able to accumulate enough sick leave that I don't have to feel terribly bad about using a day.
3. It's beautifully sunny outside.
4. I was able to sleep enough that I feel a little better than I did this morning.

Today, I'm thankful for:

1. My new, fun job, and the bestest people to work with.
2. A fun weekend with my mom - no fights!
3. Getting back into more healthy living: baby steps like working on cleaning and starting up with CSA boxes again.

And bonus:

• Posting on my not-procrastinating blog again.
• Being happy with myself for those baby steps, with progress made ( Read more... )

Tonight, I am late enough that I could post or read.  So I compromised and read two pages of my flist and am writing a short post ( Read more... )

My mom is continuing to improve.  She's tired and weak and cranky and her sense of time is a bit wonky, but she's talking more and has been sitting up and even out of bed with help.  Thank you so much for all of the thoughts, prayers and support.  You guys rock like a thing that rocks ( Read more... )

Thank you, everyone, for all of your good thoughts, good wishes, and prayers.  My mom is still in the CCU, but the surgery went very well, and we can see improvement.  I'm in Anchorage now, and spent yesterday afternoon and evening in the hospital with her. I'm so glad that I was able to come up!  I'm not sure how long I'll be up here, and not sure ( Read more... )
