Gratitudes 2018, Day 9

  1. Fried zucchini. It was an experiment today: dip the slices in egg, then panko crumbs that were mixed with some salt and pepper… wow. That is what was for dinner.

  2. Headphones/earbuds. I keep myself plugged in at work so I can listen to music and podcasts and I’ve reached the point of keeping one in all the time while letting the other dangle freely. Sure, people might need to yell to get my attention sometimes when they’re both in my ears, but it also means I can ignore people (even when there’s nothing playing) and they won’t get offended.

  3. Staying awake this morning. Teresa’s alarm goes off at 4:00am on workdays. I wake up so I can help walk the dogs. Typically, I’ll go back to bed since I don’t have to get up for a few hours, but this morning, I stayed up to write the blog entry I posted this morning. Even though I was tired when I left the house, I felt really good.

  4. Writing. It had been a really long time since I’d written anything. A reeeeeally long time. I don’t remember if there was one particular moment, but I eventually wrote a new blog entry. And then another. And another. And now look at what’s happened: I’m writing on a consistent basis and I left the house this morning on a writer’s high.

  5. Sleep. And I have some catching up to do tonight, too.
