Stuff that I am grateful for this week:
avocado toast that just appears magically before me right at the exact time I need to eat something or kill everyone in the house
every single time I get on my yoga mat
a backyard that is now very neat and tidy
making the highest score I could make on my Python class quiz because Michael helped me to understand a math concept I should have learned in middle school
that one evening where I made everyone dinner while Micheal started burning off yard crap and the Cabbage and Michael ate outside while I ate inside all by myself and watched the latest episode of Little Fires Everywhere.

It’s been a long time since I have resorted to a list for my Thankful Friday post. I couldn’t figure out how to narrow this week down into one tidy little box of gratitude. Mostly because I don’t think it is possible. If you are like me, struggling to just get through the week, you are going to find gratitude in all of the things that have gotten you to Friday. Like that moment when Michael asked me to hold up the garden hose so he could mow right up next to the house. I stood there holding the hose over my head and yelled “I love you so much right now!” He gave me an inquisitive look because he couldn’t really hear me with the mower going and his headphones in, but I think he got the message.
Last night I had a dream that my house ended up as some sort of quarantine camp. Multiple people were sleeping in one bed. You had to step over people sleeping on the floor and I didn’t even really know any of them. They were all friends of friends, some with babies and toddlers. Micheal followed me into the kitchen where some random person was helping themselves to the last of our cereal and said “This has to stop. Who are these people anyway?” I nodded my head in agreement. Then I grabbed a pan and a wooden spoon. I started banging the pan with my spoon to get everyone’s attention. Then I said “Anyone who does not know my middle name has to leave right now.” Then I started kicking people out of my house. Things could always be worse.
There could be more people in this house.
