Thankful Thursday

Today I am grateful for...

• National Widow's Day.
• Rechargeable batteries (AKA storage batteries). The tech who cleaned my teeth yesterday had a cordless polisher, which was something I'd never seen before. She said it was much more comfortable to use than the old sort. Almost every time I go they have some new piece of tech; my favorite was the X-ray gun that could have been straight out of Buck Rogers.
• Similarly rechargeable cars. Molly is currently costing $.013/kWh, which works out to $8.50 for a full charge that gets me ~200mi.
• Filkers. Filk is good too, but it's the filk community that's made it a musical home for me.
• Electric heating pads and OTC pain-killers.
• Sleep, when I can get it. Two consecutive nights over 8 hours, which is kind of unusual for me.

And May the Fourth be with you.
