mdlbearToday I am thankful for...
- Coffee. AKA bean soup, in this household.
- Compression socks. NO thanks for hypertension.
- Onions and garlic. Just because I have to cut back on salt...
- Not tripping when I carried Bronx upstairs. Remind me NEVER to carry ANYTHING up or down stairs that requires taking both hands off the railings.
- Memories. (This season a lot of them include our drives down to LA for Loscon, also giblet gravy and Mom's chopped liver recipe.)
