Thankful Thursday

Random things I'm thankful for today...

1. The nice woman at the Safeway pharmacy. At the start of 2022, we had to change our local pharmacy (our insurance suddenly didn't include the pharmacy we'd been going to in network). I was a bit miffed because I really liked the people at our pharmacy. But. What can you do? So. We switched. And the last couple times I was there to refill Micah's prescriptions one of the women working at the new pharmacy has just made my week. She enthusiastically complimented the white in my hair...claiming that she loved how it looked. Love her. ;)

2. Alcohol over gelato. So, during my sisters trip earlier this month, my sisters each introduced me to some new-to-me drinks. (Thanks, sisters!) Back at home, I shared with Nathan and we ended up with this:

Yup, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey over chocolate gelato is a delicious dessert! (For the record, it's yummy over vanilla gelato also, lol.)

3. Spring cleaning. Having been busy enjoying my guys over spring break last month, I now find myself embracing some spring cleaning as April's winding down. Nathan and Micah are thrilled, lol. I mostly keep things pretty purged anyhow and have gone through things fairly recently, so it's not a big ordeal or anything. But I've been enjoying going through cupboards and shelves and have a few other hot spots on my list in the coming weeks. Simplifying and updating makes me happy.

4. Bowling. It's been many years since we'd been bowling. Many. But on Tuesday, Nathan and I joined Micah and his girlfriend for some bowling and had a great time. Overall, Nathan and I definitely beat Micah and his girlfriend. :) But. Micah improved greatly over his previous attempts, so he was happy. And, clearly, he just needed us to show him how it was done. 

5. Date lunches. Nathan and I had our bi-monthly date lunch earlier today. It was pretty fabulous. I took him to the new French bistro place in Old Town and we stuffed ourselves...

Seriously yum!

6. Scheduling things. I find myself scheduling a lot of things lately...follow up ACT and SAT tests for Micah, renewing my driver's license, annual well checks, Asher's fall break flights, another trip in October to visit colleges in CA, time with friends, an oral surgeon consult for Micah, and more. I've also been working on trying to find someone to help with a few bathroom projects here (have scheduled three consults so far). Over the course of all of that, I must say that I definitely appreciate good communication and easy processes for scheduling things. Trying to be thankful for the less than great experiences for helping me to appreciate the easy ones. :)

So, that's what's going on around here and what I'm thankful for today. Happy Thursday to you all!
