- Friday!
- Wearing jeans and my comfy knock-off "ugg" boots at work all day
- Watching episodes of "The Amazing Race" online - if I'm going to watch reality television, this is definitely the show I find the most interesting
- Freshly washed sheets, towel and pajamas
- Bought the "Julie & Julia" dvd tonight - and planning to watch it tomorrow while I do some Christmas gift prep. Really looking forward to that.
- Vietnamese take out for dinner
- Fun delivering a few baking gifts to coworkers today
- Got to love doing payroll when you get to process your own raise and some back pay - thankful for that coming through on my end of the month cheque
- counting down the days until I have 10 days off of work. 4.5 days to go.
- Quiet evening at home, doing little things that needed to be done.

Daily 5 - Day 128
Today's Daily 5:
Thankful it's Friday
I yawned as I wrote the title of this post.
This has been an exhausting week.
I'm very drained - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
And incredibly thankful that it's Friday.
I'm wearing jeans.
I haven't melted down into a puddle of tears (though I've felt like it.)
I phoned the government student loan offices this morning to confirm that a change to my banking information I'd requested be made had gone through.
For the first time in history the government did something right, and quickly to boot.
I'm thankful for that, too, because it means that this weekend I can wrap up this state of being between two different banks, and go back to only having one bank. I like it when projects like that are going to come off my list, and finally be finished. The longer term projects with dozens of little steps. It's always a good feeling to know that one of them is finished.
On Fridays I have lunch with a coworker. I think we're having Wendy's today. I'm looking forward to that grilled chicken sandwich and fries.
I'm listening to Kathy Mattea's "Good News" Christmas Album. Beautiful songs, some original, some not, a lovely progression of songs. It's one of the few Christmas music selections I can stomach for more than about ten minutes.
Did I mention that I'm wearing jeans? And my comfy knock-off "Ugg" boots. Fridays are good for that.
I'm exhausted, and close to tears, but I'm choosing to be thankful right now. Or trying anyway. Because all of those things I've listed, and, I'm sure, a myriad of other things are very positive moments in my life right now.
