Thankful Thursday - Dec 26th

This week I’m thankful for a lot!

  • Visits to friends who are family - I had the pleasure of visiting people I’ve known for over 20 years at this point for Xmas. We had good food, good laughs, and just general good times. It was truly nice to catch up and it’s so exciting that I’m only a few hours away now.

  • Two extra days off - Having the extra day off really allowed for the quick trip to see people but also gave me an afternoon to chill the hell out and just exist. No chores, no texts back, no emails… just being alive with my dog on the couch, watching a few movies and eating my dinner.

  • Food tracking apps - I’m on a journey to keep muscle, build more of it, and drop some fat. It starts with tracking what I eat. Even on the days where I eat, or in this case, drink way more than usual, I tracked. Knowing my habits helps me understand myself a little more.

  • The bestest boy - Chewy bo-booey did such a good drive driving to metro Detroit on Xmas. He didn’t complain and mostly just chilled out the whole way up and back. We did have a standoff to get in the car, but he eventually did. Poor guy just doesn’t want to travel anymore, but once he was there he loved all of the attention. Same, dog, same.

  • Hot showers - So grateful for hot water and nice warm showers in the morning or after a long drive. Now, if Santa wants to bring me a hot tub, I’d be all set.
