So Close to the Finish Line.

The thing is, the schedule I keep and the amountĀ of things I have to do really don’t make for an easy time of writing.

I got up this morning at 2:30. I could have found the time to write today, obviously, but the energy wasn’t there. Maybe tonight I’ll gt some sleep and then I’ll just be too busy.

My lifestyle is going to be the death of me.

This is yeah write’s nomo day 27. Thank goodness, because I only have 3 more posts to write before I can give up this silly charade.

Thankful.

I am thankful for so many things. I’m not going to list them.

Some things I’m not quite thankful for, but maybe someday I’ll be thankful for the lessons they’ll teach me. Not yet though.

I don’t need to say publicly how thankful I am, for which things I am thankful, or adhere to some schedule to prove I’m thankful enough. I don’t have to be constantly thankful; I can say that sometimes some things suck. That doesn’t negate thankfulness for other things.

In a season where we’re bombarded with messages to count our blessings and insinuations that we aren’t grateful enough if we aren’t gushing our thanks and praise upon the universe, I say to just be you. You’re thankful for what you want to be thankful for. You don’t have to be thankful for everything or all the time and I respect that.

No one has to wear their gratitude like a sandwich board and parade it around for the world’s approval.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This is yeah write’s nomo Day 26.

Thanksgiving Eve.

I have a ton of work to do by tomorrow morning (and a ton more this weekend) but I’m off from my day job until Monday and I’m quite pleased about that.

This is the first year in over a decade that I’m not hosting Thanksgiving. I’ve been threatening for years to stop cooking and this year we got an invite to celebrate with a friend’s family. While I used to love to cook, the pressure to put together an elaborate meal (one my kid won’t even eat, btw) with never enough time to prep is just too much. It was never even that many of us but it was too much. I work a day job plus freelance plus family and it is JUST. TOO. MUCH.

So today I got out of work early, took my kid and his busted face to the doctor (his face is rapidly becoming less busted), then came home and worked. I had dessert for dinner and now I’m going to bed at 9. Tomorrow, I’ll wake up and work and then not cook and it will be glorious. I haven’t been this relaxed on a Thanksgiving Eve in, well, over a decade.

Phone Post.

This is my first post from my phone and I don’t like doing it this way.

I am also already in bed and I’m not wearing my glasses.

I was asleep a few minutes ago and almost missed blogging. I will not lost this challenge.

I WILL NOT LOSE!
