Thankful Thursday | getting there

This week, I am thankful:

that my countdown is done! (almost)

I have one more shift tomorrow, and then I will officially be living the part-time life. Yay!

And my class officially finishes on Sunday, but I am done with my work, so that class is over for me.

that the rest of August is mid-80s or below

You know how people get seasonal depression in the winter? I sometimes feel like I get a summer version; I find multiple months of heat and humidity to be rather depressing! I think I would be perpetually blue if I lived in, say, South Florida.

When it’s so humid, I don’t even feel like going out for my beloved trail walks because the air is just miserable.

(Conversely, I basically never think it’s too cold to walk in the winter!)

Anyway, the forecast for the rest of August does hold a lot of humidity, but at least the temps are getting a little bit cooler.

Also cheerful for me: September is only about a week and a half away. Yay!

that I was able to give my friend’s stuff away

After my friend died of cancer, I helped her kids empty her storage unit, and I brought a van full of stuff home to give away.

I have been too busy this past month to deal with any of the stuff, but I finally did manage it this week! And happily, I was able to find takers on my Buy Nothing group.

I am happy that her things are finding their way to new owners; I know that’s what she’d want. 🙂

for this picture from my friend

My nurse bestie Brittany is on vacation this week, and she sent me this picture she took of a tiny crab. Is he not the cutest little crab you have ever seen???

for my lawn-mowing guy

I’m still not over the thrill of coming home to a mowed yard. Amazing! Magical! Wonderful! I did not have to go outside and sweat!

(I wouldn’t mind doing lawn-mowing in the winter, but that is not how lawns work. Ha.)

for a one-day humidity reprieve

Yesterday, the air was not so wet, and I took advantage of that by taking in a sunset.

At the park, I read my graphic novel, recommended by a reader. It’s a super quick read, and since it’s just drawings, I think even most non-medical people would find it enjoyable, not gross. 🙂

What are you thankful for this week?
