Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[NannyBeBe]

1. My daughters have survived another week of teaching.
2. I don't have to cook for the next three days.
3. It's pizza night.

It's the last day of work before I get a break from it.

I have less to do since I don't have to pack lunches for the next day so I usually have a little time to relax.

Having TGIF on TV to watch as kid.

Friday is usually our day to pick up DGD from school and have pizza and grandparent hang out time that isn't rushed. If we pick her up on Mondays or Tuesdays we are always very mindful of getting her back home early enough for getting ready for school the next day.

I don't have to think about what's for dinner for the next 3 nights.

Being retired, I actually have enough energy to watch TV without falling asleep on Friday nights now. After getting up before 6 am and teaching all week my eyes would start to close around 7 pm!

Fridays
Well it used to be a quiet day at work but that seems to not exist anymore
I’m still hoping that comes back when we get the quiet Fridays again where everybody’s out of the office and nothing’s going on and it’s just a nice quiet easy workday

I used to love Friday night TV and then it was Friday night go rent movies on Friday nights are always usually like a pizza night or something it’s a no cook night usually and it’s always been payday remember virtual for years was doing the bills on Friday night and that chore was done for the weekend

It’s one of my favorite days of the week because it means the work week is done and you don’t have to think about it for two days it usually meant we all went out for lunch at work which was usually a little bit longer than an hour sometimes a little bit longer than two

And it’s the most popular day to take a day off work so you can extend your weekend and most of the time no new business starts on Friday so again it’s a good day!!

Peanut butter
So I had my dog at the emergency vet last year my dog is always been a pain to give medication to cause no matter what I do he spits it back out and we were at the emergency vet and they went to give him some medication and they got out a big old jar of peanut butter and they scooped out a big old hunk of peanut butter put the medication in it and he swallowed it right down no problem and I’m like what ?? no my dog takes a pill every morning so every morning I am fist fighting the dog to get him to take his medication and I seen this little trick and I was like oh my goodness do it again so she scooped out a big hunk of peanut butter and he swallows it right down and I was like why hasn’t somebody shown me this before I have been doing this trick every day since and it has worked beautifully no problems so every morning my dog gets a big scoop of peanut butter with a pill in the middle of it and he’s none the wiser he’s happy as a lark to get some peanut butter and I am happy that he takes his pill no problem
Very grateful for learning this trick and I’m very grateful that he loves peanut butter

I do not like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but I do like peanut butter sandwich sandwiches

I love peanut butter on toast or on a warm biscuit

Not a fan of peanut butter cookies even though I love peanut butter

Peanut butter fudge is one of my most favorite fudges no matter how you make it I’m pretty much like it

I pretty much like peanut butter and just about anything except peanut butter cookies don’t know why I just never cared for them

Good Saturday Morning!

Peanut Butter is one of my most favoritest foods EVER!
I can’t narrow it down to 3, because I’m grateful for all things peanut butter

Afternoon all,

I can't stand peanut butter or peanuts in general, so I think I'll opt for 3 things I'm grateful for today instead. Full disclosure, I had a couple of bottles of wine with a friend last night and unfortunately even though I wasn't particularly drunk, I'm at an age now where hangovers are guaranteed no matter how much or little I drink. So trying to find things I'm grateful for when hungover is rather difficult!

1. Fizzy drinks - a fizzy drink really helps me when I'm feeling a bit rough. I only buy the zero/no sugar versions which don't quite have the kick that full sugar does, but they're still really helpful as a pick me up.

2. Extra rest - I find it very difficult to do much when I'm feeling rough, so I end up having to write off everything I had planned for the day and putting my feet up to rest. I even managed a lie in today which never happens usually! The only downside is that all of the things I had planned today now need to be done tomorrow

3. Walking in the fresh air - I normally go out for walks first thing at a weekend before I get on with my day. Today of course that didn't happen as I wasn't feeling up to it, and for most of the morning I felt no different. Fortunately I perked up after lunch and managed to get out for a walk in what is a glorious day. Only managed 4.5 miles but it's more than I expected and has made me feel so much better. I hate hanging around at home all day doing nothing and not being able to exercise.

Happy Saturday, friends

Neither my Dad nor I like peanut butter. My beloved late Grandma loved it and I sure loved her so good memories regarding peanut butter there.

I just talked with my Dad which is always a blessing as God-willing seeing him will be at lunchtime.

My Dad's upcoming February birthday is always Something I give God extra thanks for.
