Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[WDWEPCOT]

My House
My car
My Dog
My coffee
My phone
My space heater because it’s only 17° outside and I feel like it’s 17° inside
I will not be grateful for all the snow we have outside that’s not going anywhere because it’s too cold
I am very grateful for ice melt that works at temps below freezing - I can see that as my path to take the dog out is not a sheet of ice !!!

Happy HUMP Day

#1 - Our 7 Month Old Puppy Otis - I would have been just fine living the rest of my life without a dog, and then we decided to have Otis join our family. He is so special and has filled a void in our house with us being empty nesters now.

#2 - My Tablet - I don’t have a laptop and our computer is ancient, so I’m very grateful for my laptop - I use it for everything.

#3 - My Coffee Pot - I’m very grateful to have a pot of coffee ready to go when I wake up.

you think chef until you live with one omg The story I could tell you Trust me we’re not eating Michelin star meals They experiment on you it’s not fun

OMG...I dated a chef for a few months back in my early 20s. I was the tester...the guinea pig. Some of it was great, there were some fights over what he wanted to serve me (friend gifted him with some spoils from an exotic game hunt in Africa), and sometimes I just wanted "average" food. I'm reminded of the ending of The Menu where Anya Taylor-Joy's character just wants a really good cheeseburger. Nothing elevated or elegant...just a cheeseburger. He once took me to a trendy "chef's picnic" for chefs to test things on other chefs. I was suddenly everyone's guinea pig!

Bedside gooseneck lamp brightly on. We lost power last night for an hour due to wind. Such a blessing particulary safety wise to me to have electricity.

Plastic cup of clean water to drink.

Book that brings cheer to read and Kindle to watch movies on.

New Desk - For Christmas, Santa got me a new desk. It's one of those mechanized ones that can be raised and lowered. It helps get me on my feet on and off throughout the day. Once I determine my preferred heights and get past some tummy issues, I will start trying it out with my walking pad. That's also in view, but I feel like it's taunting me right now, screaming "why aren't you using me?!?!?" So, I'll skip the gratitude for it right now.

New Chair - I can't see all of it, since I'm sitting in it right now but I can see the arm rests, so it counts. Santa also brought me a new office chair. I'm still adjusting to it, but it's definitely an improvement over my old one, which was creating all kinds of pain.

Desk Flair - I built it back in yesterday now that I'm getting settled. It's everything from little Disney trip memories, national parks mementos, and small toys from childhood to things from the kids, my mom, and little fun things from our "in-office" times that I collected and retained over the years.

Honorable mentions- Bright orange Stanley for hydration, one of my Disney pin boards, a few sets of mouse ears, some costume accessories/masks, some of my workout gear, some of my personal office gear, my Disney race medals and bibs, three computer screens (not sure how we ever got by with just one), a pic of the girls from their first trip to CRT, and my small tower of drawers to store a lot of random junk
