I couldn't decide whether to do a post about things I am thankful for or things I am not thankful for today. I know it's almost Thanksgiving, and everyone is in a thankful mood. But I have to be honest, today was one of the worst days I've had in a long time. Then again, looking back, I realize it could have been a lot worse. So I guess I'll do sort of a hybrid...
Thankful for: Being able to wake up and have nothing to do until 11am this morning since my therapy client cancelled. Therefore, I was able to go the rec and work out before class.
Not Thankful For: When I got to the rec, I realized I'd left my ID in my jacket pocket, and although I begged and pleaded, they wouldn't let me in. I had to walk home and back, cutting about twenty minutes off of my workout time.
Thankful for: Getting my test back in Developmental Class and getting a B+.
Not Thankful for: the fact that there were three questions on the test, each worth equal amounts, and I got two A-'s and one B+....yet somehow these average out to an overall B+. Shady math going on? I think so..
Not Thankful for: Getting in a car accident on my way home because I was still trying to calculate how that grade worked out in my head. I was honestly just zoned out trying to multiply and divide in my head that I just ran right in to the car in front of me. That's right, folks... I just slammed right into a Mustang.
Thankful for: We pulled over, he looked at the new green paint on his car (from me) and the lack of silver paint that should have been there (that was now on my car), and said "Well, I don't really care about how it looks, but why don't you give me your phone number and I'll call you if anything comes up." My car has some new paint on it as well and I think I may have cracked one of the side lights, but I'm not positive - it might have been like that before. And let's be honest, I drive a minivan, I'm not winning any style points anyway.
Extremely thankful for: So far, no call - knock on wood!
Thankful for: Hosting my mom, stepdad, sister, and grandma for Thanksgiving
Not Thankful for: While I was peeling veggies, I broke the disposal and it backed up
Extremely Thankful for: The plumber coming within two hours of our call and fixing it!
Thankful for: Sammie!!
Not Thankful for: The poor girl getting sick all over the floor and guess who cleaned it up...
So I can't lie, today could have been a lot worse. And I'm really excited about people coming for Thanksgiving...and let me just point out that we will be in Ohio a month from now! (Actually, it will be Christmas Eve a month from now which is even cooler...) Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

Happy Thanksgiving to you & Dan! We'll miss you back here.
not thankful for: I lost my library ID, but the library wouldn't let me check out books. So I left, realizing I locked my keys in the car with my phone (and it was dead anyway)
thankful for: because I lost my ID, I had my wallet not in the car and thus had my AAA card and the library let me use their phone. And I spent the 15 minutes just reading books! A perfect place to be stranded!
