Good evening from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's been an unusual day in a way. Unusual because I did only one thing. I worked on New Horizons - Predators and Terrorists. I think I worked through ten chapters. I'm thankful for the work I did on it. I know it meant I wasn't here to connect with you. I didn't connect on WordPress either. I had a different kind of night. I got about 3.5 hours of sleep, got up about 1:30 and got intitial work done on the computer - my Bible study and played my games and went back to bed about 5:15 this morning for two hours. For the next 12 hours, I worked on New Horizons, went to Bible study at one, and prayer at six. Now, I'm headed to bed. Tomorrow will be a full day away from home. I have a chiropractor appointment first thing in the morning and then my infusion at the hospital at 11. If my neighbor can, we need to go shopping. Otherwise I might have it delivered. She fell yesterday and hurt her ribs and is in tremendous pain. Movement is painful as she hurt her ribs when she fell. Some days are like this. I'm thankful for what I got done. I plan to be here tomorrow at some point. It's also payday tomorrow for most of us. I hope you all had a good day today. What are you thankful for today? Let me know in the comments. I will get the notifications caught up. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Oh, we had snow today, and from what I saw on the weather app, we're going to get snow through the weekend.

That's awful about your poor neighbor. You've really been hitting it hard with writing. Congrats. I wrote a one page ditty last night before I went to sleep. That might be next year's Yule Tale. At least I found out that I can still write coherently and carry through from a start to a finish.

@just4him I hear you. I have a sweet spot of about twenty minutes before I get incoherent. There have been times when the story snags me and I can't relax enough to sleep so I wake up at an awful hour and hammer out more.

@sallypup I've done that too. My characters either won't let me go to bed, or they wake me up.

It's good you can write coherently before you go to bed. I found when I did that, my writing looked like a horror movie. It didn't make any sense and I needed to delete it and write the whole thing over again.

I’m glad to hear you got your snow! I am thankful for a product I got for my dog’s digestive problems worked beautifully. After a month of loose stool (sorry), it’s all good again.

I hope your neighbour hasn't broken a rib. They are very painful.

Yes, they are. I've had many broken ribs. Thankfully, not in a couple of years. She doesn't believe it's broken, only bruised. Still it's painful no matter how you look at it.

I'm very impressed with your dedication to getting your writing done. I have ideas for things I would like to do, but I never get around to many of them! This morning I am thankful for the birds, I can hear them singing all around and they bring so much joy I hope your neighbour will be OK, that sounds very painful

Thank you. It's work I enjoy. Birds are wonderful in the early morning. It will be a couple of months before I hear birds in the morning. Yes, it is painful. I hope she will be okay soon too. Thank you.

I'm sorry your neighbor hurt herself. It's 17F and s**wing like crazy. You can have the s**w. I'm thankful that the days are getting longer and that there are 64 days until spring. I started counting at 119.
