Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• Making it through yesterday without falling apart. I think this may be equivalent to being grateful for alexithymia, dissociation, and emotional blunting. Bupropion is in a different category, but that too.
• The soothing effects of warm water (e.g. loading the dishwasher) and a purring cat (e.g. Ticia). Not both at the same time, obviously.
• Fifty years with Colleen. Not enough, but I can be grateful for the time we had. Also having been able to shoulder a lot of her care during her last years, and the help I had for the rest of it.
• Mail-order.
• Walks, especially with added people (m, k) and coffee (Monkey Grind Espresso).
• Have I mentioned coffee recently? Coffee.
• ... and one last time to Colleen's uncle and oldest cousin, who gave us a case of The Glenlivet for our 25th anniversary. I finished the last of it last night.
