25 April - What I'm Thankful for Today

Someone said it's Thursday today. Somewhere along the line, it didn't register as Thursday. Good afternoon from sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's currently 53 F and feels nice outside. I didn't get out though. No time today. So, what am I thankful for today? I'm thankful I realized the 25th and Thursday are the same day. My friend's birthday is the 25th. I went down to her apartment to invite her to Texas Roadhouse for her birthday, tomorrow. She told me her birthday was today. I looked at her and said; it is? So, okay, now I know today is the 25th, and it's Thursday. I'm glad I got that sorted out. She invited me in for cake. Her sister made it for her. Angel food. It was delicious. It had white boiled frosting. Also delicious. Yes, I've already noted the calories. I'm thankful for the time I spent here today. I have the notifications done for the first time. It was so good to find out how you are in your corner of the world. I'm thankful I have all my steps. I'll do the foot cycle soon. I'm thankful for Canasta today. I didn't get that one wrong. I knew it was Thursday. It was a fun game. My table played partners. It was really close the entire game, and then my partner and I lost. Oh well. It was fun. Okay, that's my day. A little confusing, but that's okay too. What are you thankful for today? The image belongs to me. My friend down the hall.

I knew what today was, but it was a bit different. George did pretty good today all things considered. He needs to be assigned to a doctor here in Daytona, so it's been a mess since his retired. We did a video call in the doctor's office. Hell, had I known that'd be the case, I could've stayed home. But, it worked out because I had to get cat food for Chilly. I'm thankful George was receptive to that. Hopefully next week I can get George to go to Aldi.

I hope he gets a new doctor in Daytona soon. I'm glad you got cat food for Chilly.

@just4him Yeah, me too. Life will be a lot easier once he's cleared to drive. I had hoped things would've worked out, but they didn't. If George can be more consistant with his meals we can ween him off the peg tube, until then he still needs it.

@kaylachan I'm sorry he still needs the peg tube. Maybe by the time you see the doctor again, he can clear him. He's still improving. Don't give up hope.

We call the "boiled frosting" Italian meringue. The frosting is cooked because there are raw egg whites in it. Cooking them avoid any risk of illness from the bacteria. I am sure the cake was good. I wish happy birthday to your friend.

That cake looks delicious and it was nice that you were able to enjoy a piece with your friend. I was very thankful that my son put some grab bars in my shower and it was much easier showering this morning with something sturdy to hold on to.

Sometimes the time just gets away from us, perhaps. Sounds like an interesting cake, never heard of that kind of frosting. Texas Roadhouse would be awesome.

@just4him maybe but I'm not sure. Ive had sour cream icing, made with cream that you sour. I know that's not the same but was sharing a different kind of icing. Sounds like it...Texas Roadhouse is one of my favorites.

Well, it is Friday here today. Bob had his appointment. I shopped. We went out to eat and again, we feel much as if we should skip the eating out. Food was not great, not bad but not great. And pricey. The guy who bought the place next door is wanting to "help"us with our yard work. My weight lookd like it is going up, but that is what I get for baking.

It sounded like a good day except for eating out. I'm sorry the prices are so high. I'm glad you have a helpful neighbor. Baking does that to a lot of people.

I spent 4 hours at my hairdresser. As usual. Up north, I’m in and out in 90 minutes. I am thankful my older son texted us while I was waiting for my haircut. Both grandkids made high honors for this semester. As usual. I’m still proud.

Sounds like a wonderful day. Getting together with people. My day was relaxing, a little laundry is all. I am thankful I can take a day to relax when I want to. Now I'll get the laundry in and read a book while the beans cook.
