A Rainy Thankful Thursday

Meh. In case you haven't noticed, I'm playing with my blog look. I've been trying to use the backgrounds from Cutest Blog on the Block, but as you can see...something just isn't right. Linda, we have to talk!

Blog woes aside, things are going okay around here. I've spent the last two mornings at our daughter's home. Yesterday she called begging me in desperation to come watch the kiddos so she could get some sleep following Colton's third night of not sleeping. Today the furnace guy was supposed to be there at any moment and she couldn't find their checkbook and couldn't ask her husband because he works nights and was asleep. I ran over with my checkbook to save the day....and waited for quite a while. Then, as it turned out, he didn't charge them for today because they are getting a new furnace as soon as it comes in. That was really nice of him and item number one on today's Thankful Thursday list! 

Other things to be thankful for include:

I don't have to cook today. Megan has invited us to dinner.

Tim gets the catheter removed tomorrow morning at his follow up appointment. He's doing very well so hopefully the news will be all good. Keep it in prayers for him, please? Because in a conversation we had the other day, it sounded very much to me like without the doctor actually saying the "c" word, that might be what we are dealing with. I told Tim that he'd better flat out ask even though the doctor said this procedure should take care of everything. I think we need to know. I can't believe he didn't ask to begin with! But then, he disagrees about needing to know the answer. He is going to ask, though.

Two rainy fall days in a row. We needed the rain and what's cozier than holing up inside on a cold rainy day?

Lots and lots of time with the grands this week.

I haven't gotten the cold the grands have.

Pumpkin spice hot chocolate. Yes, it's a thing. Swiss Miss makes it.

Werther's caramel apple and pumpkin spice caramels.

In spite of my last two thankfuls, I've lost 4 pounds since starting back on Adipex on Saturday. The Adipex also comes with the wonderful bonuses of making me feel more energetic and lifting the brain fog.

My Bible study group got together for the first time in a couple of weeks. Even though a few people were missing, it was so amazing to fellowship with them and boy did we have some interesting discussion on the 4 living creatures found in Ezekiel.

And, of course, all of you!
