Happy Thursday everyone! another day of rain
. We've had rain every day this week and it's really depressing. I really miss when the sun doesn't shine.
Anyway, my daughter was up early this morning to go and get bloodwork done. So, I was up early too as she brought us back breakfast (bagels & coffee) . Usually I don't eat that early but it was nice to have breakfast together before she had to go to work.
Getting up earlier than I usually do has made this morning feel much longer 
I've enjoyed my coffee, chatted here and worked on notifications, did a little bit of work on my crocheting and did some browsing online.
Hopefully the hardest decision I have to make today is what to have for dinner 
Enjoy your day my friends and hope you have something to smile about

I'm an early riser but I can imagine how much more time you felt you had today.
It isn't difficult to decide what to have for supper here, Thursdays are take out days, so I ordered supper and my hubby will stop and pick it up on his way home, and for lunch I had a tuna melt. I have had a hankering for one for a while, so today being a rainy and dark day, the lunch was a happy lift in the day for me.

@Marilynda1225 Yes, we've always done take out Thursdays from our first year of marriage. But when you think about it, by Thursday, you have already had your beef, chicken, pasta and fish, so the next logical choice is take out. That's my motto.

@Juliaacv you are so right. By Thursday you have to repeat one of those choices so take-out makes sense. We tend to do it on Fridays and it's usually pizza.

Tuna melt is a favorite here too.
All this rain certainly does make it depressing
Enjoy your dinner when your hubby gets home. Not having to cook is always a thumbs up in my house

I wish it would rain here. It's been really hot here. Extremely hot actually. Weather forecast today is at 42C heat index.

You are right about having more time to do stuff. I did accomplish quite a bit but doubt I'll make getting up that early a habit

@Marilynda1225 If we get up early, mid-morning coffee is about 9.30 instead of 10.30! lol

Smiled today I really did
The moment she put on her lid ( helmet)
I was going to write a rhyme
But let's just say we had a good time
I took Yvonne to the shops on the bike today, first shop she has been in since October
Yay for Yvonne, it went really well

Now that's definitely something to smile about. I'm sure Yvonne was smiling as well as she got to go shopping.

I’m a little tired of the rain too, but since we needed it I’m trying to just be thankful it’s not been humid rain, which means tornadoes. We still have a chance of them, but for now we’re clear.
I’m glad you got a treat of bagels and coffee. What did you put on the bagels?

I hope you don't get any tornado warnings.
The bagels were delicious. I got a whole wheat everything and just put butter on it. Its rare we get real bagels from the actual bagel store.

It was nice having a different breakfast rather than my usual English muffin. Outside coffee always tastes so much better too.

We're opposites when it comes to retirement. You're always busy and my days are generally routine and quiet

Bagels and coffee with your daughter, can't beat that!
We have had one storm after another all week. We badly need rain, so I am trying not to complain. We are currently classed as being in a huge draught.
Hope you have a great day, Marilyn.

We need the rain too but if I was in charge it would only rain at night and we'd have sun all day.

That would actually be very nice. I enjoy hearing rain on the roof at night.
