This Dinner

Tonight I am thankful for delicious homemade burgers and the wonderful boyfriend who made them :D

The ice wells and the sinks at my work all drain into grates in the floor. Yesterday when I cleaned out one of the ice wells, there was a huge mess on the floor. Most of the water that I used to sluice it out was making a puddle. Today I watched carefully and saw that it was backing up and overflowing, so I decided to bravely reach into the murky depths to investigate the issue. I discovered that a whole apple had somehow fallen into the space below the grate and it had a diameter about the same as the pipe in the bottom. Remove the apple, problem solved. I was happy that it took me only a few minutes to fix something that could have plagued us for months, and I was happy that it was a whole apple and not a heap of unidentifiable things.

CLEAN HOUSE!!!

It is amazing how much better you feel when you can just get things organized and clean. :D

Pet Reunion

For the past month, my roommate has been looking after a cat that has a broken leg because she was hit by a car. Today, the foster agency finally managed to track down her family and they came and picked her up. This cat is rather shy, but when the oldest kid called her name, she stopped hiding in the laundry room and came out to meet them.

How can you not be happy listening to this?

This Blog

So, as you can see, this blog has been thoroughly abandoned, almost starting from the moment of its conception. The original intent was to help us (the two bloggers) to be more positive by posting something for which we are grateful each day. I'm pretty sure I forgot about this blog entirely before my co-blogger even made her one and only post. I stumbled upon it again completely accidentally and it took me a while to remember what it was. SO- today the positive thing in my life is the revival of this blog!
