January 6 - What I'm Thankful for Today

It's an unbelievable day in history with the protests in Washington D.C. I'm thankful I'm nowhere near there. Otherwise, it's been a good day. I'm thankful I went to the Y this morning. I wasn't planning on it with the pain level I was in last night. However, once up and moving, I decided there was no better place for me to be. I forgot about the fog. It was and is dense out there. I didn't have any trouble driving this morning in the dark. For which I'm very thankful. I'm thankful I got my fitness membership taken care of with a call to my insurance company. The Y needed confirmation I'm still active with the insurance. It took a little doing, but the lady I talked to finally got the code needed and a call to the Y got everything confirmed. I'm thankful I got the oil changed this afternoon. My pocketbook is breathing a sigh of relief because there aren't any leaks in the radiator. Everything is fine there. However, the bad news is the brake line job my son did a couple of months ago, well, he messed up. It's going to cost me a lot to get it fixed. They put a temporary clamp on the lines for now. When I have the time, I need to get it taken care of. The good news is I have the money in the bank to do it, thanks to the stimulus check. I'm thankful for the hour and a half nap I got again this morning. I needed it. I'm thankful I finally got the no-bake pumpkin pie made with the alternative ingredients keeping it on the healthy side. It turned out great! And lest I forget the health report for today. 35 minutes in the pool plus 20 minutes in the hot tub. Fitness center - 15 minutes on the elliptical - .32 mile/82 calories burned, 15 minutes on the stationary bike - 1.60 mile/44 calories burned. 20 reps on the leg press with both legs. 10 each for each leg separate. That's five more for the left leg. It's getting stronger. Weight - 178.2. Down a full pound from yesterday. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. My pie.

Yes, it is a wonderful perk. Thank you. I sampled a piece as you can see. I hadn't let it set long enough. Friends are precious. So is sunshine.

You have a busy day again. I had a busy day too changing the bedsheets and the duvets of our bed. I am glad I was able to do that today. I was thankful my homemade tuna pizza was good for our dinner. Time for me to go to bed again. Goodnight. See you later. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday.

Sounds like a very productive day. I too had a long productive day. Hubby and I went shopping, I'm thankful we were able to find what we're looking for. I'm thankful he remembered to buy a belt. I'm thankful the weather held out and was present so we could go out comfortably. I'm thankful our cats are doing well and petco had two out of the three items we needed. I'm thankful to be home after all of that.

Those protests should more rightly be labeled an insurrection, aided and abetted by members of the government. Domestic terrorists.

@just4him Maybe you could eat a portion of pie, as a substitute for a meal. I use to eat pie as breakfast, sometime.
