Thankful Thursday

Bringing back my Thankful Thursdays...because it seems appropriate. ;) So...things I'm thankful for beyond the more obvious:

1. That we took advantage of yesterday's gorgeous weather (60s and sunshine) to go for a walk/hike in Lory State Park. Plenty of other people had the same idea but we all did a good job of maintaining our social distancing while smiling and enjoying the outdoors:

(Today, if you're wondering, it's grey, chilly and sleeting, and we're under a winter storm warning with snow expected this afternoon and evening. Blech.)

2. That we've been enjoying some fun family game nights. Earlier this week, we pulled out Pandemic...because pandemic. ;)

In case you're wondering, we managed to cure all the diseases, save the world and win. :)

3. That we have such nice trails near our house. I've already been running and walking on them this week. It's been ages since I've run outside, so that will take some adjustment, lol. And Noah and Micah joined me on my walk...which was lovely.

4. That I'm still able to workout from home. Even though all the gyms are closed, my boot camp gang has a group text going and I have the space in the basement...

(Handy that Nathan has that white board there for work brainstorming. I wrote the day's workout there.)

Micah's also been working out. His climbing coach sent him some workouts to do at home. I'm pretty sure they were meant to be done over the course of a week. He did them all Tuesday. ;) 

5. That we're local. CSU is officially going to online classes for the rest of the semester. Dorms and one dining hall (to-go only) remain open for those who need them, but students were encouraged to return home and are being issued a prorated refund. We were able to sign up for the very first time slot and retrieved the rest of Noah's stuff and checked him out from the dorm yesterday morning (before today's yucky weather). They're limiting how many people can check out at a given time, and everything went smoothly--we only came into contact with the one guy at the desk checking us out. (Course, now my front room is temporarily full of all of Noah's stuff, lol.) My heart goes out to the out of state parents trying to figure out how to coordinate everything...and my sincerest thanks to CSU for how they've been thoughtfully handling everything.

And that's my Thankful Thursday...how's yours going?
