It's been a good easy day today. A little warm, but I can handle it with the light breeze.
I have a few things to be thankful for today.
I'm thankful my older son called this morning and said I didn't need to babysit today. It gave me a day to recharge and heal up my very sore knees after 23K steps yesterday.
I'm thankful my older son told me he has the tree I was missing this morning when I straightened up the living room. It went home in her diaper bag.
I'm thankful my younger son could take me shopping today when I called him. I only needed a few things. I was going to leave the rest for Friday when I do laundry but decided to get everything today. It didn't amount to much. I picked up some fresh fruit on sale at Aldi and got some fresh fish too. I had steelhead trout for lunch today.
I'm thankful I have all my fitness goals achieved and will get the last of my hourly steps when I post this. Today, I'm looking at 13K + steps versus the 23K from yesterday.
I'm thankful I have all the notifications finished now. It's time to get off the computer. I didn't work on Vendetta the last few days, and right now, there are no words, so maybe tomorrow will be a better day unless I'm babysitting.
Okay, that's a snapshot of my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Something peaceful.

I am thankful for all the stress and worry that was lifted off my back when I "retired" from my job yesterday. Nineteen years of burden suddenly gone, and it felt absolutely wonderful. I've just been enjoying a day today that for the first time in a really, really long time was not filled with anxiety, worry, stress, deadlines, projects, and overwhelming workload. It was a great day.

We are thankful that our housemaid is getting better with her cold and there is no need to have her tested for covid.

@FayeHazel Right now I make everything on my griddle. Occasionally, I'll bake it. This would be good baked or even grilled.

I'm thankful today was a nice easy peaceful day, got a few (more) pictures of deer, I got both of my packages delivered today that I was waiting for.. (which is a feat in itself considered the USPS carriers don't like to deliver to me)
I am grateful for that extra hour and a half sleep. even though I wasn't supposed to get it and got to work an hour late.. lol

I'm glad you got pictures of deer. They're interesting and beautiful animals. I saw one on the trail last week. I've never seen one in the city before, so it was exciting.
USPS is delivering everything late lately.
I'm glad you got the extra sleep. I'm sorry you were late for work because of it.
