November 1 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Good evening from unseasonably warm Green Bay, Wisconsin. Today was a good day with a bit of excitement to end the day. I'm thankful for waking at 3:30 this morning after going to bed at 11 last night. I'm thankful for the work I did on New Horizons: Dominion. I didn't get as much written as I planned, but I have tomorrow and the rest of the month to get my word count. I'm thankful for shopping. I went to four stores, two groceries, and two Walgreens before I found what I needed. I was disappointed that nobody carries Magnesium in the 400 mg bottle anymore. At least not at any of the stores I went to this afternoon. I didn't know what I wanted to eat but I knew I needed something. The time was not on my side. By the time I got home, it was almost time to leave again. I'm thankful for the Writer's Guild and the members who were on the ball tonight. My friend kept saying it smelled like something was burning. We thought someone had a fire pit outside. When the smoky smell got worse, we alerted the restaurant staff and they determined they needed to evacuate the restaurant. Smoke started coming through the vent in the room we were in. As we left the restaurant, we met three fire trucks, and the fire chief headed to the restaurant. I'm thankful everyone is all right. That was my day with a little excitement thrown in. How was your day today? What are you thankful for? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Wow, that's scary to be in a restaurant when it catches on fire, It's a good thing you got out quickly.

@Our house burned down when I was a child and we only escaped with the clothes on our backs.

@just4him I remember this happened years ago at a pizza restaurant not far from us. I thought it was their wood fired pizza oven, but they had a fire in the kitchen.

My friend smelled it from the time we got there. It wasn't bad then. We thought someone had a firepit.

Well that sounds a bit scary. My day was fine..I was happy I got to start my new insurance plan. I don't like this warm weather in Nov. but it is probably better than having a foot of snow. I can deal with it. My only concern is that it might be absoutely frigid in two weeks...

I'd rather have a foot of snow than this unseasonably warm weather. I'm glad you had a good day and started your new insurance plan.

How exciting to hear about your novel-writing on how you get your ideas and muses. I'm glad that everyone at the restaurant was okay. I hope the restaurant didn't lose anything last night.

Wow! that restaurant issue must have been a bit disturbing as well as exciting. My goal is to make the most of this month and the coming months - l hope to publish my book of poems early in the new year.

So glad you got out of the restaurant and there were no casualties! I am thankful that my Covid test was negative! Although, whatever this is...the flu, perhaps is not fun.

I had a busy work day yesterday. Yet it was meetings, meetings and talks!! For one of the meetings, everyone was standing for quite some time. It got late for home. Woke up at 6 in the morning to get kids ready for school. Lots to be thankful to God for. Yet I need to tackle some challenges with money factor also being an important factor. Anyways, enjoy your Wednesday although it would be Tuesday night for you as of now.
