Today’s #cy365 prompt is “Smile”.
So I took a photo of my Frappuccino and Rice Crispy Treat Bar that I had at work. Gotta fuel up before the students arrive!
I am thankful….
1. To be done with the Writing Buddies’ Journal Swap for now. I mailed DB’s journal back to him on Tuesday. I keep saying I’m going to bow out and then I forget until the journal arrives unannounced in my mail box. Maybe I secretly like the fact that it guilt’s me into journaling? ::shrugs:: Who knows?
2. Ordered my Imbolc candle today. I know, I have a bit of time between now and Imbolc (February 2nd), but the lady that makes these AMAZING candles does them in very small batches. So, I’m learning my lesson, because I missed getting her Yule candle, so I snagged the Imbolc today.
3. Working heater in my house. The weather has been cold lately, so I am deeply grateful for a heater that makes it enjoyable to be home.
4. Being back at work again. Missed my lil hooligans. My grumpy aide and my shitty boss – not so much. ::laughs::
5. Lauren (aide from last year) was able to come by and hang out for a few hours. It was nice catching up with her and I know the students were thrilled to see her again.
6. That I don’t have to run my husband anywhere tomorrow morning. It’s been crazy to see how much doing that has completely thrown off my daily rhythm. But tomorrow SHOULD be all me, so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things.
7. For red laser pointers. It allows me to easily wear out my pup when I am too much of a baby to walk her in the cold. ::laughs:: I can stand out in the yard for 10 minutes and run her close to ragged before moving the game into the house for continued destruction.
8. Being able to chat with family I have never met via FaceBook. I have connected with my father’s cousin (her father and my grandfather were brothers) – she and her family live in Australia. We’ve been sharing family information back and forth and it’s been pretty damn cool.
9. Getting hit with a flash of inspiration for my altar for Imbolc right at the red light that lasts forever! I was able to scribble down all the notes while waiting for the longest-red-light-ever to turn green.
10. Finding a “local” wilderness school that is offering a number of classes that peak my interests. Local is in quotations because it’s about 3.5 hours away….which is the same amount of time I drive to go see my mom, and that is with me staying in the same state. ::laughs:: Texas is crazy huge.
11. That my copy of Women’s Rites, Women’s Mysteries: Intuitive Ritual Creation, by Ruth Barrett arrived today. And since I finished up reading My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, by Fredrick Backman, I can delve into this book right away.
All in all, it’s been a pretty good first week of 2017. Boss is still an idiot. Annoying aide is still annoying. But other than those minor irritations right now, everything else is pretty damn peachy.
