Good evening from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's 12 F and feels like -10 F. It's getting warmer. We're on the plus side of the thermometer.
It's been a good day.
I'm thankful I could be here and get the notifications finished this morning. It was good to see what you're all doing to survive in this extreme cold and weather we've had across the country for the past week.
I'm thankful I got work done on two books. I'm also thankful I found out how to change voices for the read aloud option on Word. I have a voice that shows more inflection than the generic one I had before. Listening to Faith to Believe is a whole different way to edit a book. I've made a few changes, not much, mostly punctuation. I also worked on Wilderness Challenge, the book that woke me up at 11:30. I'm thankful for the three chapters I did on that one today.
I'm thankful for the sleep I got last night. I went to bed at 7:30 and woke at 11:30. Then I went back to bed at 3 and woke at 6:30. So by my estimation I got about 7.5 hours of sleep. Just all messed up.
I'm thankful for AI showing me how to change the voices and what to do when it didn't download. I'm grateful for AI and the help it's been for the many books I've worked on this month. With AIs help, I completed five edit and revisions. My books are stronger with its help. I've also grown as a writer with AIs help.
Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm thankful for my husband's renwed interest in food. Apparently he can understand what my screen reader's saying and it doesn't sound like a spanish guy on speed. He found the times of your sleep, funny. Maybe I should've put something on the t.v. first? Though I have been thinking about toying with the speed.

@just4him That's what he'd call Jaws because of how fast I had it going.

With this brutally cold weather, I am thankful every day that I have a warm house to live in.

I'm thankful for The Holy Spirit who has descended down upon my mother-in-law to help her adjust to being admitted to a Memory Care facility and for a smooth transition
