Thankful Thursday | one essay
This week, I am thankful:
that only one essay stands between me and the end of this class
I have to write a 3-4 page paper about how this class has helped me grow and how it has improved my writing. Ahahaha.
I don't think it has helped me very much, so this essay is proving to be a challenge. Luckily, I have three pages of it done, so I am nearly there.
It's not due until next week, but I will probably submit it this week, and if I do, I will have one school-free week before my next class starts. It can be my pretend summer break. 😉
that I got my house put back together
It had gotten to be a lot messier than I prefer, but I had three days off (Saturday-Monday), and I got it straightened up.
This is good, because I'm in the midst of an eight-day stretch where I will only be off for two days. At least my house was in order beforehand!
that there are only two more residency meetings left
We had our May one yesterday, and Brittany and I presented our evidence-based practice poster.
Anyway, all that's left are the June and July meetings, plus an early August graduation ceremony. Yay!
that it's daylight when I commute
It's broad daylight when I go to work now and also when I leave, which is lovely.
for my short commute
Every day, I am so grateful for my ten-minute drive to work. It makes the long shifts so much more doable!
for the joy of outsourcing my mowing
I came home from work yesterday, and my yard was trimmed and tidy. Yay!!
I am thrilled I don't have to think about that this summer; truly a good use of my money.
for how incredibly good bed feels after a shift
I have long been a fan of going to bed; I don't relate to people who view it as a punishment, even as an adult. Going to bed is a treat.
But going to bed after a crazy work shift at the hospital is an especially large treat. It feels so, so, so good to shower and then rest your clean, exhausted body on a comfortable bed.
Heaven.
What are you thankful for this week?
(And does bedtime feel like a punishment or a treat to you?)
Going to bed is a treat! I might not sleep well, but copying up wrapped in a blanket with a few more on top feels so good. I don't sleep well many nights, but the first hours in bed are so nice.
Thankful for : fuzzy cats, hot showers, and end of the semester.
Like you, I love going to bed but do not sleep particularly well these days.
I am thankful I heard from a friend yesterday. She has been undergoing cancer treatment and it has had a very rough several months. She has had little energy but she wants me come for a short visit today.
I am thankful for spring weather even with our roller coaster temperatures.
I am thankful I will be able to take a friend out for lunch for her birthday today. She doesn't want anything fancy and that's fine with me. We will eat at a local cafe, which I love supporting.
O, I love going to bed!
Especially when the mattrass has just been flipped and the bed has been freshly made.
Thankful for magpies. I do not like that they take first pick from the bird feeder every time, but they so courageously chatter away the local cats from their young! They are smart and strong and have beautiful feathers.
For birds generally. The sight of the fluffy young sparrows begging for food is so sweet.
For our solar powered "fountain" where the birds like to take a sip.
For the jasmin and rose that provide a green screen on the terrace, like a small private green chamber.
For less pollen today, so I can go outside and enjoy the lush green of May.
