This week, I am thankful:
for the joy of a cold shower
I struggle to get through outdoor walks in the summer (so muggy! so sticky! even early in the morning!), but ohhhhhhh, a cold shower feels so good afterward.
for the blast of cold A/C
After I finish working out at the gym (which is, sadly, pretty humid in the summer too), the blast of cold air from my car feels so freaking good.
When I am rich and famous, I swear I will own a summer home in Seattle. Because summer here is very not my favorite.
that I’m working during the heat wave
We are having unusually high temps right now, so this is a perfect time to be working three days in a row.
Outside weather is completely irrelevant to me when I’m working because I am never outside except to walk to and from my car!
that I can go to bed if I am tired
I took this picture last week; I’d finished shift 3/3, and I was so exhausted, I went to bed while it was still light out.
It is so nice that generally, no one needs anything pressing from me, so if I want to take my tired self to bed before 9 pm, I am completely free to do that.
for some rain in the last week
We got some nice steady rain recently, which we desperately needed. Things on my trails look less dry now!
And I even saw a few mushrooms. They’ve been basically non-existent since the soil has been so parched.
that I asked about the necessary references
You know how I was complaining that our introduction discussion post had reference requirements? Well, after I did my initial intro post (with three references THANKYOUVERYMUCH), I emailed the professor to check and see if this was an error.
(It is extremely unusual to have to cite sources when you introduce yourself!)
It turns out, she put the wrong rubric up. But at least I found this out before I did all of my replies, because the original rubric said each reply had to include two scholarly references.
I saved myself a little work by inquiring, and I knocked those replies out real quick since they didn’t need references.
The references are always the time-consuming part.
What are you thankful for this week?
