Happy Turkey Day, y'all. I know I have a lot to be thankful for, but right now I feel like such a depressed pile of crap, it's hard to really feel it. Anyway, I'm going to my nanny's house in a bit, and I've always been convinced she has some kind of magic turkey tree in her back yard. My nanny is such a good cook (it must skip a generation, cause my mom and aunt can't cook for shit). Thanksgiving is my favorite meal of the year. I also have a loaf of pumpkin bread my best friend baked for my birthday, with banana and chocolate chips (did I mention yesterday was my birthday? Yeah, good times.). I didn't even know he could bake.
So, I'm going to try to force myself to list some stuff I'm grateful for, maybe I'll feel a bit better.
-My health has improved lately. I spent a lot of this year being sick, and I seem to be getting a lot better.
-My family is healthy. My mom was very, very sick for quite a while, she was diagnosed with Celiac's disease. She hasn't had any gluten for over a year, and she's lost over 45 pounds, she had sores all over her legs and arms, which are now healed (but left many scars, I told her they give her character). She was anemic, and now her blood is settling down, she had a heavy flowing period for over 2 months straight, but now she's on a normal 28 day cycle.
-My best friends M and K. I've known both of them for over 15 years, and we're as close as ever.
-I have a roof over my head, and clothes on my back. Granted, the roof may cave in at any moment, but it's there for now.
-I have colleagues who care about me, and who are helping me get back to work ASAP. It's good to know you're good enough at your job that people actively seek you out to work for them.
Well, that's all I can think of for now, I have to shower and get ready to stuff myself full of delicious Nanny-turkey.
