Today is Saturday. I've been very laidback, but still have plenty to be thankful for today.
I'm thankful for the fitness center at the complex. I spent five minutes each on the elliptical and bike. I wanted more time, but I'm pretty beat up from the move. I'll spend more time next time.
I'm thankful for the nap I got this morning after I finished the notifications. I didn't think I would need one as I got 7 hours of sleep last night. The most I've gotten since I started packing to move.
I'm thankful for the creamy cheesy/potato/turkey bacon soup I made. It tastes awesome. My recipe. Those are the only ingredients along with cashew milk. I have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.
I'm thankful I started on my walls. I hung my Navy picture and the knickknack shelf with the flag on it. That one took some doing. However, a tape measure and a level did the job. It looks great! I also hung the kitchen clock and my Thankful plaque in the kitchen.
I'm thankful for the laidback day I've had. I decided to watch westerns today. I started with Angel and the Badman. I thought I had seen it before, but found I hadn't. A very young John Wayne and Jane Russell. It is a very good movie. I followed that with The Rifleman and Bordertown - not the movie. This one is a western series from years ago. I watched all these on Roku.
I'm thankful for getting the notifications finished twice today.
Okay, that's my day. It's good to relax and just watch TV for a change. I'll get back to writing next week. How was your day? What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

You needed a rest day after your busy week.

I have been reading today, while Jay watched the Michigan State college game against Miami. We won! Now he's watching another game, this has been his entire day, relaxation. I fixed a tasty supper, we enjoyed that together:) The cleanup was quick and easy. I made an appointment to get a tattoo on my wrist, something I never thought I'd do in a million years!

The past two days have been a bit trying. Though I'll admit, I'm happy I was able to get some good, solid sleep today.I'm also very thankful the store had the cable I was looking for, and my husband seems happy with the calculator I found when I was looking for white out. I wanted to kind of get it as a present for him (even if I used his card to pay for the store trip). So, I was thankful he was happy about that....

I'm glad you found the cable you need and got your husband a calculator he can use.

I had a great day. The VA hospital had a women veterans’ open house today and I went by and picked up some goodies. I had a nice nap. And the thing I’m most grateful for is God is still on His throne!

Yes, at times, we all need to be able to just sit back and relax. Those moments are very less now.
So it is cool that you exercised quite well and wall decorations are on.
I have been trying to increase outdoor activity as currently Covid situation is under control here.

We are keeping our fingers crossed. We have some big festivals coming up from October and even though state Governments have issued guidelines, we could still have some uptick. It depends a lot on citizens now that we have had over 750 Million plus single vaccinations (and increasing fully vaccinated ones).

Saturday I wanted to join a Zoom yoga class that was free. But the instructor didn't arrive so I signed up for it for another time that day and that instructor arrived so I'm very thankful for that. But the yoga wasn't exactly what I thought it was, but I did it anyway. I was sore for a few days from it. Yesterday I found out that the instructor had a headache that's why she didn't show up. I am trying to decide if I want to take a yoga course or not on Oct. 1st.

That soup does sound delicious.
I have a potato soup in the freezer that I considered pulling out, but I think I'm making chicken & rice for dinner after all.

Seems like you had a pretty good day!! A day relaxing, taking things easier and enjoying some good TV is a perfect recipe! How exactly did you make that soup?

Whoa! That's really a day. we have many things we should be thankful for. One is waking up each day, it is also a sign of hope. Coz everyday is a new beginning, a new life given to us. Next is for our health that despite of this pandemic we are still away to sickness and able to do things we need to do. Third is the love and caring our family showed to us. I hope you always have a happy days

It is really convenient to have a fitness center there. I took it pretty easy yesterday as well and even took a nap. I am letting hubby sleep in again this morning as he just is not feeling the greatest. Likely we will miss church.

I'm glad you had an easy day yesterday. I'm sorry your hubby isn't feeling well and you'll miss church.

Thank you. It is!
Yes. My pastor gave me one he had and didn't need. It's only a year old. He won a TV so didn't need it and gave it to me. I'm so blessed. It took Spectrum to get it working properly with the cable. I rarely watch cable though. I'm mostly on the Roku.
