I Am Grateful

Today I slept in... ahhhhh, sure was nice. I spent the entire day at home. For part of the day I read my new book that I will be taking a 5 week class with, getting my reading done early instead of struggling to get it done week to week. I'll still have to read it again then, and that's okay. It is a truly great book that is well worth the $17 to buy it. I am very 'into it'.

I did a bit of house cleaning for which I am very happy. Just a drop in the bucket, but feels and looks real good. I'm sure that by morning some gremlins will have sneaked in and piled the cleared area with junk again, but at least I get to enjoy it for a couple hours. It seems every time I accomplish something it doesn't last for long, and I know it's gremlins playing naughty pranks.

I managed to get around to do some reading on other blogs tonight, too, for which I am most happy. I am sO behind on my blog visits and I do so much enjoy reading what my 'blog friends/family' have written, especially to the writing challenges many of us love to do. It sometimes amazes me where some of the stories I write lead to, lol.

I had hoped to get some journal writing done today, but didn't remember until now... and it's way too late. Guess I better write myself a note so I remember tomorrow. I used to journal write every day and have gotten away from that, so need to get back to it. There is a specific topic that came up the other night when visiting Mom, and I want to write about it before I forget what thoughts came to me that I want to get down on paper.

My friend Dan stopped by for a short visit. He's headed to the coast this weekend, then will be working 10 hour days (plus driving 1 hour each way) 6 days a week for he doesn't know how long. Doesn't sound good for getting my floors finished any time soon, but hey, when depending on the kind heartedness of a helpful friend, you have to know that a paying job will come before the freeby job. Drat. haha. Oh well, all in good time I guess.
