Gratitude project, day 11, the hubster

There is one name brand pain killer that consistently works at the rare times I succumb to taking meds for neck/back pain.

Gratitude project, day 7, late night phone calls

I am indeed grateful for a late night phone call with one of my beloveds even though I slept in 2 more hours than usual (possibly 3) yet I am still laughing at some of the things said. And she had to be at work at 7 so really my time crunch is nothing.

On an extra gratitude note, it is my dead mum’s birthday. I am surrounded by Leos every step of my life. This is a good thing! 🙂
