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:

Happy Thursday, STalkers! I've been having a hectic week for pretty much the entire month. Ish. Hope yours is going well!

I am thankful for:

• The usual: a good job, a reliable car, and a solid roof over my head.
   
• My sister, who made Mom's spaghetti sauce and gave us half. It's always a little bittersweet making/eating one of Mom's special recipes.
   
• Actually getting back some money from the IRS. Woo hoo!!!
   
• My DH. Lord, I love that hardworking, frequently tired, curmudgeony, sexy man. <3

Anyone else stressed out? It's days (weeks) like this when I need to remind myself of the things for which I am thankful...

• Aside from chronic insomnia, a sketchy back, and a fat arse, I'm in pretty good health.
   
• Despite the arseholes and brown nosers, I have a good job.
   
• My DH, my Dad, and my sister: aka my rock, my hero, and my best friend.
   
• STalk - especially the friends I've made. <3

Whose enjoying VD? Yes, I DO mean Valentine's Day. First of all, I disagree that VD is strictly for lovers. Not everyone has a significant other. Some people call this Singles Awareness Day (one of my nephews). Others call it Singles Appreciation Day (my sister). Regardless, there is no need to feel left out. Are your parents still around? Let them know you love them. Spend some quality time with your furbabies. Hang out with a friend. Enjoy the day!

We're closing in on the weekend, STalkers. Happy Friday Eve!

We all have our struggles. I've been going through a rough time for the past several months, but have managed (most days) to stick out my chin and push forward instead of crawling under a rock (kinda cold under that rock right now...). Some of my friends have been been darn near overwhelmed by life-altering shocks. Times like this make it an excellent opportunity for me to remember the things for which I am thankful.

I am thankful for:

Welcome to Thursday, STalkers! I hope everyone had a safe and tolerable holiday

Things for which I am thankful:

Happy Thursday, STalkers! I don't know about you, but I'm seriously looking forward to the end of the work day tomorrow. This has been a suck week. And that means I need to remind myself of the things for which I'm thankful. Aside from being ever-grateful for a reliable vehicle, a safe & sturdy home, and a good job, I am thankful for:

We've circled back around to Thursday, STalkers!

Some of us have been struggling; depression, finances, seasonal affective disorder, tragedy, stephell... We all have days when it takes great effort to get out of bed and get moving. Some days, that's the best you can do, but you do it! You didn't give up - you pushed yourself to keep pushin' on. And while it's not always easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, take a moment to reflect on a bright spot in your life. It's there. I promise you. {{{HUGS}}}

I am thankful for:

My apologies for posting this so late in the day! I am thankful for:

• My DH, who is my rock
• Antibiotics doing their job
• Being released to go back to full days at work next week. I'm still tired, but getting better.
• my current manager will only be my manager for a few more weeks (she's a major beeyotch)
• my family and friends (including those online!) who have been wonderful support and comfort to me.

I've been dealing with a lot of issues lately - personal AND health - and definitely need a reminder of things for which I'm thankful.
