OT - Thankful Thursday | StepTalk.org

Who else is ready for the weekend? Work has been crazy the past few weeks and this week is no exception. If anything, it's the craziest week yet. 1.5 more days...

I am thankful for:

Having a good job! Despite the fact that it's been hectic lately, I like my job, my boss, and the majority of my coworkers.
Friends who say they are there for you 24/7 and MEAN IT. I was having a crap night and was talking to a friend until almost midnight.
Crappy (former) friends. Yes, crappy. They have taught me what it means to be a BAD friend, what is NOT acceptable, and what I NEVER want to be.
STalk. I honestly don't think my marriage would have survived had I not found this place almost 5 years ago. xoxo

I'm thankful for:

SD6's dresser coming today so clothes will no longer be housed on the floor with her. (her dresser broke, she was SUPPOSED to be keeping them in some baskets I gave her... Naturally she didn't...)
My new dresser coming today (the one I use has been on loan from MIL for YEARS now... I was ready for my own)
The cars both working great
DH realizing I was right and apologizing for being such a jacka$$ last night.
The fact I'm taking a half day and get off work in an hour
STalk... Because I need this outlet
Punching bags because I"m an angry and aggressive soul
My furbaby who makes me feel so beyond special with how excited he gets to see me and how much he's glued to my side. A definite mood booster after a long a$$ day.
Pinterest. Because I found a great recipe for Bruschetta chicken for dinner and I'm excited. It'll be nothing compared to my uncle's... But I'll try (He's a pro chef... He introduced me to Bruschetta growing up and I"m a bit of an adict... His has always been the best though!)

We have new dressers - I need

I am thankful:

That I NEVER have to go to work again.

For my wonderful husband. As I am dealing with some mobility issues he has taken over the shopping, cooking, laundry, etc. plus he hauls me where ever I need to go - even if it means multiple trips in traffic so I can have dinner with friends.

For my great friends - many of whom go back 50 and 60 years.

That except for having feet that don't work right I am in excellent health with no pain.

That I never have to see SS34. No pressure from DH at all.
