Hi again,
This post is for Tuesday December 7 and on this day I was and still am thankful for Lists. Tuesday was not a fun day-I was really stressed and really behind on a lot of stuff and ready to pull out my hair. That was when I found my pad of paper I make lists on (I had packed it away when my floor was redone) and I wrote down everything I needed to do and it was on paper and it seemed less stressful but still quite stressful because it was very long. Still I am very thankful for the list because it helps me to feel I am accomplishing stuff as I cross items off the list and I feel better. When I can cross a task off the list, it helps me feel more like I can get stuff done and it is less daunting. So sometimes I write something simple on the list so I can get it done quickly and I can cross it off so I feel more able to keep going. I also love lists because I can prioritize what needs to be accomplished first and what can wait till later. Another reason lists work well for me is that I have a terrible memory and I am always forgetting what needs to be done and it makes it very hard to prioritize when I am forgetting what has to be done. lol Then I remember at very inoportune times what needs to be done and it can be frustrating. So I make lists. Then I don't have to deal with all these tasks that have to be done floating in my head and I get stressed because there seems to be a whole lot more that needs to be done than there actually is. I can look at my list and how ever long it is and know that there is an end.... at least till I add more tasks. lol So this is why I love lists. Now I should go to bed and get some rest... once I finish the other posts. :)

Day 48: Snow free roads in Winter
Hi again,
As you can see, I haven't been on here most of the week. I could offer a ton of reasons why but the reasons may or may not be important. I don't want to make excuses either as to why I have missed so many days. So I will just get right to it. This post is for Monday Dec.6.
Today I am thankful for snow free roads. What I mean is that the snow has melted off of the roads and the road conditions are not too bad again. We had some warmer temperatures where it got close to freezing and the snow on the roads melted as vehicles drove on it and it made for much better road conditions! We went to get groceries today (Monday) and it was so nice to not have to worry so much about slipping on the road. So that is why I am thankful for snow free roads in winter.

Day 47: In floor heating
Hi again,
Well today I am thankful for in floor heating. Well I suppose that is what I would call it. The floor was supposed to have in floor heating but something didn't work right and so my dad came up with a way to create in floor heating on top of the floor and under the laminate. It works the same way and it is so incredibly wonderful to get up in the morning and step onto a warm floor! Even through out the day it is so nice to walk on a warm floor instead of a cold floor which happens as soon as it gets cold outside. This is definitely something to be very thankful for. Also it is much better than forced air heating because there isn't that dust blowing around which is very difficult for me with my asthma. There are definitely alot of positives about in floor heating. I think it is also more efficient if I understand correctly which is really good. But the most wonderful thing about it is to walk around on a warm floor when it is -20 below outside. :) So this is why I am thankful for in floor heating!

Day 46: Cuddles from Felix
Hi again,
This post is for yesterday. I have been in the midst of having my floor redone and Friday I finished packing up my things and everything was moved out and yesterday I had no computer till close to midnight so I didn't get on here. Today I have been moving everything back in and it has been a long few days! So this is why I did not get to posting yesterday.
Today I am really really thankful for extra cuddles from my cat Felix. Usually he is not very much into cuddling and he prefers for me to pet him when he isn't in my arms or on my lap. But every once in awhile he surprises me with wanting to be picked up and held and he purrs away and it is so nice. So today he had one of those times and I really enjoyed that time with him because it is somewhat rare. I am not sure what makes him want to be held and cuddle but I enjoy it and I won't say no. It brightened my very long day and gave me something to smile about. So this is why I am thankful for cuddles from Felix.

Day 45: www.godvine.com
Hi again.
Today I am thankful for http://www.godvine.com/ because it has a whole lot of neat stuff on it. A friend of mine actually mentioned it to me and so I visited it and I really enjoy the videos on there as well as other features on there. But I mostly visit the site for the videos. Today I saw this neat video of a flash mob bursting out in song in a food court. That was really fun to watch. The site also has an online bible with a search for those times when I remember a verse sort of but can't remember where it is in the bible. That has been quite helpful a few times because I don't always have the best memory. lol It is quite an interesting site. Anyways I will leave this post short and sweet because it's getting late and I am quite tired. Have a great weekend!

Day 44: Pet Fish
Hi again,
Today I am thankful for pet fish. I have 3 of my own-one betta and 2 danios. The reason I am thankful for them is that they are so neat to watch and once I figured out how to work the filters and the air stones and all that so the environment was right for them, they were and are relatively easy to take care of. I thought about this today as I was dealing with my puppy who wasn't listening and doing stuff she shouldn't and I thought how fish don't need to be trained and they don't do anything bad that you need to discipline them. They just swim around happily in their tank and just exist. I am also thankful for them because I find watching them to be calming and interesting. I don't completely understand why watching fish swim around a tank is calming but it is for me somehow. Some days I really need that-especially when dealing with a puppy that just won't listen. lol So this is why I am thankful for pet fish. :)

Day 43: Lactaids
Hi again,
This post is for yesterday because I missed posting yesterday.
Today I am thankful for lactaids or the store brand of lactaids. I am lactose intolerant and lactaids have made it possible for me to eat food that contains dairy products. I haven't always been lactose intolerant so I know what I am missing out on if I don't get to eat it! lol Today we had Creamy Chicken Soup which is absolutely amazing (it's soup my mom makes) and it is mostly milk so I grab a lactaid and I don't have to miss out on something that is absolutely so incredibly good. When I became lactose intolerant I quickly realized that milk is in so many things I didn't think about. Sometimes bread even contains milk. It is so weird that such a little pill can make it possible for me to eat something that would normally make me very sick. Because of this little pill, I can consume milk, milk based sauces, ice cream, pancakes, pasta with cream sauces, pudding, pies that contain dairy products, etc. The list goes on and on. Even chocolate has milk in it. So I am incredibly thankful for the lactaids or the store brand version usually called dairy digestive pills or something to that extent. It even makes potlucks alot easier that I don't have to guess which food doesn't contain milk and hope I get it right. :) So this is why I am thankful for lactaids.
