Things I am Thankful for Thursday #4


Alrighty, finally Thursday again! It's been a long week...

1) I am thankful to have found a job. With that, I am also thankful to know at least a couple of people and resources here. I was in the process of looking for a job at a gym, but was told front desk wasn't hiring at the moment, and that my availability wouldn't really work for any other position. However, I ran into an old friend from high school who is the manager for all of the kids clubs at all 5 gyms. And she was able to find some hours for me!! (That whole story is in another blog...LOL). Anyway, I am so thankful that I ran into her, and that she was able to find hours, and that I now have a job again.

2)I may have mentioned this before in a previous post, but I am thankful that I am fairly independent. Tonight, after I got off of work, it started raining, hailing, lightening, thundering... All that good stuff that I can't really stand. While I was still shaky, driving and when I got home, I am thankful that I feel calm now. Usually, with this kind of weather, I would NEED for someone to be here with me, I would NEED to be checking the news. But tonight for some reason, I just feel alright about it all. I'm actually surprised I haven't called my husband crying yet too... LOL!! So I am thankful for the independence part and for the calm part.

3) I am, again, thankful that I know a few people here. I have been sick for a week now. I started feeling better, but woke up today feeling like hell. I tried googling Dr.s that don't require insurance and that don't require you to pay an arm and a leg. So, I used my awesome resources, and found a few places that I need to call tomorrow.

4) I am thankful to have a washer and dryer in my apt. I know that sounds so silly, and simple. But it's true! In my old apt in CA we had an on site laundry room, but it cost $1.25 to wash a load and $1.50 to dry a load. Plus I had to lug my huge laundry basket down the stairs, and around the corner, then back around the corner and back up the stairs. It was not a fun task, that's for sure!! So I am thankful that this place had the hook ups for the washer and dryer, and thankful that my husband takes care of peoples houses and luckily someone he watches houses for was getting rid of their washer and dryer.

5) I am also thankful for having internet! LOL Again, a silly one, but again, true! I went 2 weeks here in my new place without it, without cable, nothing... Even though I still don't have cable, I can watch most of my favorite tv shows online, and when I get the chance. So, it's pretty nice!!

I suppose that concludes tonight's thankful Thursday... I'm tired, and gonna hopefully be in bed SOON!!
