August 7 - What I'm Thankful for Today

I set an agenda for today that I wanted to accomplish. I met my goals. I also took off the Fitbit. I know I get my steps every day, so there's no need to wear it. I also know what I'm eating, so I don't need to track it on my Fitbit. However, I will track it on my Excel program. Okay, my agenda and what I'm thankful for today. Tomorrow is the church picnic. I'm thankful I made the brownies and this time they turned out perfect. I also only made one batch. It's doubtful I'll bring any home, but I won't have that many to eat if I do. I'm thankful I have the kitchen packed. At least all the dishes except what I need. My cupboards are empty. I only need to pack up the pantry. I'm thankful I have the bathroom packed except for under the sink. I just remembered, I forgot the drawers. I'll do those tomorrow after the picnic. What I have left in the kitchen and bathroom won't take long to finish packing. Next up is my bedroom. A friend from the pool is bringing me boxes with dividers perfect for my oil lamps. I'm sure there will be others as well. It won't take long to pack up my bedroom, and then I can focus on the office. That's where the real work is. I'm thankful for the time I was here today. I finished my notifications earlier. It's good to know what you're doing in your corner of the world. I'm also thankful for the work done on Vendetta. The final read-through is going well. Yes, there are minor changes, more changing phrases to one word. I did find one thing I need to clarify, a loose end that didn't get tied. I started tying it. Tomorrow, I hope to get more work done on it. I'm pleased with how it's reading. Okay, that's my day along with walking the complex at least once an hour, so I know I have at least 10K steps. I didn't walk the trail. Too humid. Not the weather for a walk. I didn't relish the idea of being mosquito food this morning. How was your day? What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Another from the trail.

It was a productive day, cloudy but no rain, I worked in the garden and arrived to mow the lawn.

Glad that you could do the lawn. Mine was done by our neighbor and I pay him

I had a nice, quiet day. I'm very thankful for air conditioning. I tried sitting outside and didn't make it five minutes because of the humidity. I had to come in and take some albuterol. So it's inside with the A/C running. Have a great time at the picnic!! Hope the severe weather that's been down around Madison doesn't bother you!

@marlina I can understand that. It didn't stop raining until almost time to leave for church. We had a real bang of a morning starting at 2:30. I couldn't sleep after that. I try to sleep a little later on Sunday morning, 3 instead of 2:30. With all the noise from the storm, that didn't happen. It's nice now. Humid and the sun is shining.

We had sprinkles off and on. It's raining now. The only people it will bother are those at Lambeau Field for Packers Family Night. I doubt it will bother them. I'm glad you have A/C. I felt that humidity every time I walked outside.

I'm glad you had a good day and rain. Thank you. It's raining here right now. Something they predicted, so no surprise. I'll be heading to bed soon.

Smart to pack up little by little. I did what I’ve been doing since last Tuesday - reading, napping, sleeping….

I'll be ready to do that when I move. I agree. I don't want to do it at the last minute.

@just4him That's not long at all really although perhaps it seems a long time to you.

I had a good day. I enjoyed with my sister-in-law and her family as they were with us for 5 days and they went yesterday. They have a cute son which used to pass our time.

You have been very busy. Glad the brownies turned out good. And you got a lot of packing done. A nice day here, lots of butterflies to enjoy in the garden again.

Yes, it's been busy. I'm glad they did too. I'm glad you had a lot of butterflies to enjoy. I didn't see any today. Might be because of the muggy drippy weather.
