18 April - What I'm Thankful for Today

Tweet

Good evening from a cool, wet Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's raining. We're not supposed to get a lot, not like yesterday, but we need every drop, so I'm not upset about it. Come to think about it, it rained 46 years ago today too. There were tornado warnings out in the Chicago area. I have much to be thankful for today. Today is my youngest son's birthday. He's a wonderful young man who loves gaming, Legos, and Star Wars. I talked to him this afternoon for a little bit. He's having a good birthday. I'm thankful for spending time with you today. You're a big part of my life. I enjoy knowing how things are with you in your world. I have the notifications done twice. I'm thankful for the work I did today on Faith to Believe. This one is taking a lot of work as I fix each sentence to single space. I wish there was a change all for spaces. If not for the sentences, it would go much faster. I'm thankful for getting all my steps before noon. I'm well past it now. I'm thankful for the bouquet of tulips I found outside my door. They're beautiful from a good friend down the hall. She calls me her best friend. She's the decorator here and a fantastic person. I'm thankful I figured out what was wrong with my phone. Last night and this morning I couldn't hear anyone when they called. On a whim, I clicked on check data. Voila! I can hear people on the phone again. I'm thankful for the manager at Walgreens calling me. I did a survey and asked for someone to call me. Someone has been using my phone number for a few months now when they make a purchase. The first time I saw it, I thought they got hold of my debit card number, but no. They paid cash and used my phone number. Well, that means they're also using my rewards. The manager called me this morning and with a little brainstorming, we figured out how to solve the problem. He updated my account and put a 'check ID' note on the account for the cashier. It means I'll need to show my ID too, but that's fine. It's the only way to verify it's me. I'm thankful Spectrum replied to my e-mail. The bill still hasn't gone down. He told me there's a pending work order. I hope it gets changed soon. I don't want to pay $92 a month for Internet. I'm thankful my doctor's appointment went well and as expected. He listened, he took notes with pen and paper, and did it all in just a few minutes. This wasn't my primary, but my gastro. I have a colonoscopy to look forward to next year. But with my problem, it's necessary. My friend did the Valerie thing and got lost getting there. I was late, but not more than a couple of minutes. I'm thankful I looked through my finished manuscripts and found another one I can work on and hopefully finish editing and have ready to publish this year. No sentence problems. It's been a while since I read this one. It's good. I passed this one around work to those who wanted to read it as I was writing it. I became known as the Mafia queen. The name of the book is In the Hands of Mighty Men and is historical fiction. It takes place during Prohibition. In case you're counting, that's three books I'm working on and one I'm writing. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Another picture of my son. This was Mother's Day a few years ago.
