31 August - What I'm Thankful for Today

I'm in a battle of wills. My stomach declared war this morning. So far, I'm winning, but it's getting difficult. One thing that works on an upset stomach is ice cream. I'm freezing and eating ice cream to settle my stomach. I will win this battle. However, I am thankful. I'm thankful I saw the e-mail for a nurse home visit through the insurance company next week. I needed to call them right away and reschedule as I won't be home next Tuesday. On Tuesday I will be at the hospital by 8, then there's Bible study and shopping, and my friend is picking me up for Writer's Guild. I don't have but maybe an hour of free time all day. I told the scheduler that Thursday's work best. I'm rescheduled for the 28th. I'm thankful for the work I did on A Score to Settle. I read through the chapter and realized I was moving way too fast. I need to write a whole new chapter. I'll do that tomorrow, hopefully. I'm thankful for the work I did on Ecstasy. I need to make some changes in that one too. Tomorrow. I'm thankful I got the notifications done earlier. As much as I want to finish them now, I need to get off the computer and warm up. Maybe I can come back later and get them finished and see how your day is going. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Sorry your stomach was giving you trouble today. Glad that the ice cream helped. I am thankful for less humidity we had today and tomorrow. It feels nice. But over the weekend our temps will be back in the low 90s with high humidity. I am also thankful for the rest I got today. I needed it. Tomorrow I will work at the church. Will be nice to mow with lower humidity.

I am thankful I got two Amazon gift cards in my email today. Ice cream does make most things better.

I am thankful for many reasons today. I hope your stomach feels better soon. Have you had chicken brother yet? That's my default stomach remedy. Ice cream sounds good, though.

I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well. Do you need a nurse to visit you at home?

No, but it is part of the insurance program. Thank you. I was much better when I went to bed last night.
