finally learning how to spell failure

struggled with that word for ages

small thing.. but I use that word a lot. it feels good knowing how to spell it

the fact that for the next week at least, their are new episodes of old jack's boat I've not seen before

I love old jack's boat

yep....

15 minits of watching an old fisherman and a dog telling stories..

give it to me anytime

the fact I've made it one week without a tummy ache

I am grateful to live in modern times when bad vision can be corrected, and I can read books and see to drive a car with vision correction. My contact lens prescription is -10 in both eyes though I'm now corrected to -10 in my dominant eye (the eye I'd use to look through a hole in a wooden fence, for example) and -8.5 in my other eye. I was having trouble reading fine print and for a crazy reason, this method of eye correction with normal contact lenses works though it causes a bit of depth perception problems, especially with night driving, but I don't do that often anyway.

Bad eyesight runs on my father's side of the family. He said he had a grandfather who always told the optician to make his glasses as thick as possible. It went on to my paternal aunt, one of my sisters, and me. My sister & I were discussing it, and we wondered what our relatives did before modern times.(At least for now, our vision is correctable with contact lenses or glasses). Our past relatives must have been treated nearly like blind people. They couldn't cook because of the danger of fire & burning themselves, couldn't plow the fields or feed most animals, couldn't even see well enough to watch any child beyond a baby would couldn't crawl. I guess they had the women doing things like snapping beans and peeling peas. God knows what they did with the men. We're curious how they managed to survive with such horrid eyesight but surmised they must have been extremely intelligent. Both sides of my father's family were known be very smart; otherwise we don't know how they kept the line alive because they would have been more of a burden than help on a farm.

I'm grateful that my husband has been downstairs and hasn't had to deal with my, um, GI issues.

Grateful I will get to continue to see my pdoc at his clinic. I thought he would refer me elsewhere. He said he wouldn't want me to have to explain my convoluted history to someone else haha. So, that makes me relieved that I have an attentive pdoc who knows me well at this point while I figure out meds for the first time.

I am grateful for the modern convenience of washers and dryers.

I am grateful for dryer balls that allow me to fluff my clothes in the dryer without chemical-lace dryer sheets, and for the lavender inserts in the dryer balls that make the clothes smell so nice.

I am grateful for my friend who took me out to eat and drove me to Trader Joe's today (I do not have a car).

I’m grateful that at 56, asthmatic, and 80 pounds overweight, I can still learn to kick box! It’s hard but I can already tell it’s working after a week!

- Zyprexa
- Gabapentin
- audio books that help me fall asleep

I'm grateful for having internet service, though I could do without it for a while. My husband, on the other hand, was rather distraught.

I'm grateful for Pandora radio, where I can listen to soothing music without having to fork out a lot of money.

I'm grateful for keeping electricity through the severe thunderstorms we had yesterday.

Sorry to go off-topic, but do those dryer balls really work? Where did you get them?

[Standup2me]

I am grateful for ice cream on a hot summer's day (+36 outside)

[Unrigged64072835]

I'm grateful for washers and dryers that still work.

I'm grateful for my husband since he mopped the kitchen floor.

I'm grateful for an easy dinner tonight.

I am so grateful I finally got some sleep! My daughter had insomnia last night and woke me at 3 AM. I couldn't go back to sleep and was running on 4 hours of sleep, not feeling great at all. I got in a 2 hour nap this afternoon, and I feel so much better.

I too, am grateful for naps, and also for Amazon (books and non-books alike), as well as for writers and poets.

I'm grateful for my sweet kitty.

I am grateful for the beautiful sunrise I saw this morning, the complete round sun, no clouds in the way (and before it was too bright to look directly at it).

[Deejay14]

I am grateful for walking without pain today and having lunch out with husband and sister. I am so fortunate to have people in my life who love me so!

I'm grateful that our roof repair is free. Now we have to fix and paint the wall and ceiling.

I am grateful for Starbucks keeping me awake after only 4.5 hr sleep since 9 PM last night. I have to function, get dinner made, and my daughter absolutely HAS to go to bed on time tonight. My husband has to get up early; the school district is sending him to training the rest of the week, and it's at Rice University, smack into a crowded area of Houston, so he'll have to wake extra early.
