Good evening from a pleasantly cool Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It was a good day today. I am so thankful for all I have. I have my health. I have my issues, but when I see others in the building, I'm in good shape. On most days, I don't need a walker to get around. I have one because there are days I need it. Thankfully, those days are few. I'm thankful for a beautiful place to live. The people in this community are the best people I have ever had as neighbors. They genuinely care about you and they check in on you if they haven't seen you in a while. There are always activities going on here, so if you're bored, it's your own fault. For today, I'm thankful I got the rest of the apartment cleaned and ready for the inspection. I'm thankful that when I took the garbage and recycling down, I didn't hurt myself more than I did. I have a huge knot on my head because the lid to the recycle bin came down on my head while I was trying to empty my recycle bin into the dumpster. I'm fine. Thankfully, my hair covers the knot. I'm thankful the inspector came early. He took a couple of minutes to check out the apartment. I don't think he was here for five minutes. I'm glad he came early as I had Writer's Guild tonight and my friend always picks me up. I'm thankful for my friend who picks me up for Writer's Guild. We had a good time before and after the meeting. She's a cold-case murder genre writer. Not yet published. As we were talking, she has so many stories about her family, I told her she could write a book about her family. She had me laughing hysterically on the way home about an incident in her life a few years ago. I'm thankful for Writer's Guild. I got more feedback on Guns of War. All good. The meeting was interesting and smaller than usual, but it is summer. We meet at the restaurant. I ate light all day today, even at the restaurant where I ordered a stuffed baked potato, nothing more. I'm thankful for my light eating day. I haven't been hungry except for breakfast, which I ate around 8:30 this morning. And then the baked potato at the restaurant. I'm starting to eat less every day, so I take that as a good thing. It will help with my weight loss. I'm thankful for my new computer. I got Google downloaded this morning, and I now have Google set as my default browser. I also set a theme for the opening screen on the computer when I turn it on. It's called Starry Nights. There are nineteen pictures in the set and so far every one I've seen is amazing of the night sky. Some of them have the galaxy on them. I'm thankful for the work I did on Guns of War before I went to Writer's Guild tonight. It's coming along well. I'm thankful that I got the notifications finished today and could see what you're doing in your world. I see I have more tonight, but it's late and I just want to watch TV before going to bed. It's been a long good day starting at 3:30 this morning. Okay, that's my day and what I'm thankful for. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm glad things are going so well for you. It's good the inspector didn't stay long. I would find that quite stressful although we've never had to rent for long, thank goodness.

The inspection is because I'm on Housing. They inspect the apartment every year when my renewal comes up. It renews in September. So, everything is done for it now. I even received a letter about how much I'm required to pay for my rent for the upcoming year.

Yes, I do. I'm glad you had a nice weather day. I need to do a rain dance or something. We're in a severe drought.

Thank you, though the bump on the head wasn't exactly smooth. I'm glad you got rain to cool everything off.

@just4him That was an annoying accident, I hope your head is fine now. We had the rain but also more hail and bigger.

@LadyDuck The egg is gone. I still have a bruise and it's painful to the touch. Otherwise, it's good. I'm glad you had rain. I'm sorry the hail was larger.

Sounds like you had a good day overall except for the knot on your head. Glad the inspector came and went and didn't interfere with the Writers Guild. Your friends genre of cold=case murders is intriguing. I love baked potatoes especially in restaurants. They are always so good. Hope your light eating shows up on the scale. I'm thankful for my health too. Every day I wake up is a blessing.

The knot is gone but left a bruise behind. If she gets around to finishing it so she can get it published, it will be a great read. She's been working on it for years. Her brain injury a few years ago didn't help her concentration with the book. I've helped her with it a few times before the accident and after. Restaurant stuffed baked potatoes are always good. I'm glad you're blessed every morning you wake up.
