Giving Thanks

[mickeym]

I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has had a good one today.

Mine's been quiet; unfortunately Matthew's flu virus is doing its level best to break down my defenses. My body's fighting back -- and among the many things I'm thankful for is the fact that I don't work up in the property room any longer, because if I was breathing in toxic air every day I'd probably already be sick as a dog. So far mostly just achy and tired, and a little wheezy. Hopefully it all clears up soon.

Dinner was very simple and very good. The turkey breast turned out very moist, and I did stuffing, potatoes, gravy and green beans, and there are leftovers as there should be :)

I've had lots of lovely birthday wishes, and I thank you all for them. I'll do a real thank-you post tomorrow, but yeah. Thank you :)

There are so many things I'm thankful for that it's impossible to list them all here, and I would hate to leave anyone out by doing a listing. I'm thankful for all of you on my friends' list who help me and listen to me, and who share my life and allow me to share yours.

I'm thankful for my family, and for my son, in particular. We have our less-than-stellar moments, but I couldn't ask for a better kid.

I'm thankful that I have a good roof over my head in a pretty decent neighborhood; that I have enough to eat, and enough for my child (bottomless pit that he is) to eat. That in spite of unemployment I can still provide him with at least the basic necessities.

I'm thankful that Doug is finally trying to really be a part of his son's life again.

Thank you, to everyone who makes my life a better one. *hugs8

Happy Birthday! I'm glad to hear your immune system has so far stood up to the onslaught of germs.

I'm happy, too, that you didn't have to resort to whacking a couple meals in the oven. :)

Hope your birthday was a truly happy one -- I'm so thankful for all the awesome people I've met over the past few fannish years, and so glad to have had the chance to spend time with both you and your (not so little) boy :)
