I am Grateful...

For lazy mornings. I turned off all of my alarms last night, and just woke up when the occasion called for it. I initially woke up I think around 6:00 or 8:00. I don't remember I know I woke up three times. Third being around 11:00. My roommate left around then. Not sure where she's going not on a calendar.

For 85% off Audible stock. Well, it was 85% off or up to 85% off on most of their stock. So most of my list was on sale. I use that opportunity to purchase the items that are saying, now. And then I went through my wish list and figured out what I really wanted on that list, and deleted the rest.

For my rent being paid in full. It's tight, but I would rather have it paid in full. Especially within the 3-day grace, then having to push off a portion of that rent to another paying cycle, which already has allocations elsewhere.

I am grateful for 39° today or it might be 37° today. If I'm going where I'm going, it may even be cooler because that's by the Riverfront in St paul. The Chris Kindle Market is going in full swing, and I'm off this weekend. And I work the next two weekends. And those would be the two last weekends for this particular market. Though I don't know that I'm purchasing anything other than maybe food, as I already know what I'm getting my niece.

I am grateful to have 4 days off. At least one of them is usually diverted to a lazy kind of blah day or morning. Where I lays about the house, and I don't do much. But the goddess is right, I would really like to get out and know people again. I am just not sure where I want to meet them at. What environment I want to go to. Why was this easier when we were kids?

For the window clings. So during covid I purchased some window clings for my bedroom window, so I wouldn't be as curious about the outside world, but also so I can walk around my bedroom with my windows uncovered in my birthday suit. That would be the main reason why I wanted those window clings. It offers an additional privacy, and still allows the sunlight to come through.

I am Grateful:

For the tickets for the Metro transit. They are good for a full two and a half hours. And you can go anywhere, even on a return trip.

For the location in which I live within the city. From the location that I live in the city, I have a variety of different options, that don't require a whole lot of bus riding or layovers. Today I was able to get on one bus, to make it to a destination, that had three stores that I needed to visit, and then I came home.

For the author in the rough draft trade that completed her story. Normally I'm watching, and salivating, for two different authors to update their stories during rough trade. But this time around, there was a new one. And I loved your story. The Art work is phenomenal.

For my sister texting me this evening to ask me when I was showing up tomorrow. Because I was under the impression, I was house-sitting on the 13th, not the 3rd. I even went through the messages and it says the 13th. Except it does say sunday. And the 13th for December is a wednesday. That would have been interesting, very interesting.

For the fact that I can find shit in my fridge right now. Because between the two of us, it will get packed so much that you can't find what you are looking for. But when you clean it out, you can find pretty much everything you were looking for.
