A list
Things I was grateful for today, in no particular order:
1. A tankless hot water heater system, so even after three other people in my family took showers this morning, there was still plenty of nice, hot water for me.
2. Plumbers who know what they are doing.
3. Drive through mail drops, especially on days its really cold and windy.
4. Cold, fresh cottage cheese on the salad bar.
5. Ginormous grilled shrimp.
5a. Waitresses who refill my drink cup time and again, without asking.
6. Elastic waist pants (like that’s a shocker.)
7. The sound track to “Wicked”.
8. A recliner that is perfect for napping.
9. A daughter, thoughtful enough to cover her napping mother with a blanket.
10. That the stomach bug that hit my sister did NOT hit me.
11. Lunch with new-time friends, and the pleasant realization that we’re really starting to “get” one another.
12. Dinner with old-time friends, who already “get” you. Who in fact, have “gotten” you for the past forty years or so. And despite that, continue to stick around …..

Do you know how stupid I feel, after reading number 8 over and over trying to figure out what a ‘reDiner’ is, only to finally see the space between the ‘c’ and the ‘l’? Or, maybe not stupid, so much as old…

I am sad I missed lunch, but not as sad as I would have been had Tucker not had a nap.
Oh sweet naps in the recliner- elastic waist pants?! Love em/ hate em!
