August 13 - What I'm Thankful for Today

It has been a busy day. I could use a nap, but it's out of the question.
I was up early and got to the Y and enjoyed a good workout in the pool. Longer than usual as nobody showed up until later. I think I got 50 minutes in the pool.
I'm thankful I got my Bible study finished this morning after I got back from the pool. It was a lot of reading this morning, so took longer than usual. I'm learning a lot from this study.
I'm thankful I got my laundry done this morning. I saw my son for a good portion of my time there.
I'm thankful for all the exercise I got today. I'm not wearing my Fitbit anymore and doubt I'll wear it again. I got a good walk through my son's neighborhood while the clothes were in the washer. I also got more walking when I put them in the dryer, so lots of steps this morning. I also worked at walking up and down the steps at his apartment. Both to the basement and to the loft. I'm doing much better with stairs. Soon I will be walking up and down steps like a normal person.
I'm thankful I got shopping done after laundry. I needed to go to two stores to get everything I needed. I used the food card with the insurance company this morning. I can only use it at Wal-Mart. I finished my shopping at Festival where I get the alternative food for my diet plan. I shouldn't need any more groceries before I move. I bought mostly vegetables, bananas, and grapes. I've also been going through a lot of milk - almond, and cashew lately with the cereal in my diet now. I'm stocked up again. I know it's the middle of the month, but I don't see myself buying anything more before I move.
I'm thankful I worked on Vendetta when I got home. I promised myself I would get five chapters done per day. It's going well. I told the receptionist at the Y this morning I wanted to just read through it this morning when I finished it to see how it reads. I'm sure it flows well. I'm very happy with it.
Okay, that's been my day. I'm glad it's Friday so I can get the notifications done now and interact with you. I don't need to go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow I'll need to work on packing again. No time for it today. It will be my bedroom tomorrow and then I start in here. I also need to make my bed up before I go to bed tonight and fold and put away the clothes. That's how busy today was. I feel like I haven't had a moment to take a breath.
How was your day? What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Nothing to do with the discussion.

Yesterday we had to go out and apart from other things, well we bought more grocery - miscellaneous stuff. Now we have good stocks of some of the things but Tomatoes, Onions etc do need replenishments.
We have a good stock of Potatoes but need to may be buy a new basket as if we have too many potatoes, many remain unused and get rotten.
A new basket would help as the older one is collapsing and needs very big cleanup.
Today I plan to spend more time here.

Not as yet. I am already over budget this month and not going for expenses that are not in the necessary category.

It got fairly warm here, humid and in the mid eighties. Armada where my granddaughter's school is, was demolished by tornadoes on Thursday! Cars, homes, roofs, trees, yards, bushes and not one person was injured or killed:) Thankyou, Lord!

@just4him We were talking about destructive storms heading towards Michigan. I called my daughter and she called back with this information.

Thank you. I took new pictures of the creek this morning. It's high and in some cases overflowing its banks.

Wow you really had a very busy day. I'm amazed at how well you're doing on the stairs. Going up and down like a normal person will be wonderful when you get there.
All your walking and exercise at the pool certainly sounds great
Time is flying by and you'll be moving into the new place soon.
I'm thankful I got my second shot (vaccine) yesterday and no side effects

Yes, very busy. Today, I can focus on packing.
Yes, all the exercise helps me get to my goals faster. I have an appointment with my ortho in October. I hope he'll be impressed with the progress I've made in the past year.
I'm glad you didn't have any side effects from the second shot.
25 days.

That does sound like a busy day, for sure. But sounds like mostly good busy! Mine was too with taking my grandma to her CT scan appointment, and then making two different kind of enchiladas for tomorrow. Oh, and the breads!
