I know it seems cliché to say this on a Friday, but I really am grateful for the concept of a weekend, and having 2 days to recoup from the week.
I'm not even that busy of a person, but somehow I manage to fall behind in chores and life, and I really just need a day I can devote to fixing that.
Sometimes, that day is devoted to hanging out and having fun, but this time, it's catching up from being sick for 3 weeks, and not accomplishing anything during that time. So, yes. Today I am very grateful for the impending weekend.

November 14th
Today I am grateful for ailments that can be cured with chocolate.
Every now and then, I will be hit with an overwhelming surge of grumpiness. If left untreated, this grumpiness will develop into irrational and slightly homicidal anger, where my happiest fantasy is all about slamming on my breaks in front of the jerk that's tailgating me for my heinous offense of actually going the speed limit, and making his insurance pay me lots of money. Oh, and I can insist I have whiplash and sue him too.
Fortunately, it rarely gets that far.
Why?
Chocolate!
And very, very rarely I will have a case of inexplicable, aching sadness for no reason. I can only count two times this has happened in my life (one of which happened to be... well... recently), but both times the cure was... you guessed it!
Chocolate!!!
So, for a huge variety of emotional ills, all one must do is consume an unhealthy amount of dopamine-inducing, sugar-packed chocolate. Really. It works.

Today I am grateful for the little "set date and time" feature on my blog.
Seriously.
It's the biggest cheat this blog has.
Really... I've been keeping a daily tally of what I want to blog about, and then just never getting around to blogging it. So, even though it's currently the 18th, I can post this, set it to last Wednesday, and nobody will know!
Well... okay... except for anybody who... you know... reads what I'm posting about. :)
That said, I'm also grateful for banana cream pie flavored Blizzards from Dairy Queen, because they are happiness in a cup.

Today, today... I forgot what I'm thankful for.
No, seriously. I had something really specific, and I totally can't remember it.
I mean, I'm thankful for lots of stuff and all... but dangit! There was this one thing...
Okay, well for now, we'll just say potatoes. I am INCREDIBLY thankful for tubers, in all their forms (except yams... yams are nasty), and if I remember what I thought of for today, I'll edit the post and have a thing #2.

Today I'm grateful for this little app that lets me put together my family tree.
And yes, I have spent WAAAAAAY too much time on it (time that probably should have been spent sleeping).

Today I'm grateful for empty books. I'm also grateful for lots of stuff to put in empty books, and that I have several volumes of journals chronicling my life. :)
