21 Days of Thanks - Day 10.

Have a couple of these saved up to post… been sick, so I'll post a few each day till I catch up.

1. Sendra Boots - Mike bought me a pair of these from Free People months ago. They are the best boots ever. I love, love, love them.

2. Breaking Bad - Days that Mike and I watch episodes of this show, I love them. Show is so great. Sometimes it makes me sad because he seriously looks and acts exactly like my dad, but it's sooo good.

3. New gluten free breadcrumbs - Mixed with some other stuff, made some great Chicken Cutlets. I can't wait to move and have a kitchen stoked with gluten free yummy stuff to cook.

4. Photo booth photos - Love, love, love these.

5. Christmas tree - So excited it's finally up!

22 Days of Thanks - Day 9.

1. My mom - She really is always there for me and so helpful when I need her. Not to mention she is one of the funniest people I know.

2. Memories of my dad - I have no idea what I would do if we didn't get to hold onto memories. He really was the greatest guy I've ever known. So funny, smart, caring. I miss him so much it aches.

3. Fred Perry gloves - Mike bought me these a few months ago. I wear them everyday and I couldn't find them. Turned out my boss hid them at work! He's nuts, but I am so glad to have them back.

4. Callan - So glad he and I talk. Dude is so funny and is such a great friend. Stoked that his life is working out so well right now.

5. Clean laundry - One of my favorite things ever. I never realize it until I have no clean clothes. Nothing like fresh smelling clean clothes!

23 Days of Thanks - Day 8. (Way Behind)

1. Cooking - I love cooking some healthy, yummy home-cooked meals.

2. Huge grey scarf - completely forgot I had this. It's practically a blanket and I am so happy to have found it.

3. Warm duvet covers - I really can only use these in the winter.

4. Farley - She is such a solid friend. Really is always there for me and lets me be there for her.

5. Vicky - She has proven to be the one of the most loyal friends I have ever had. I have been so distant these past couple months, but not a day goes by that she doesn't check in on me.

24 Days of Thanks - Day 7.

1. Waking up from the insane dreams I have been having and finally realizing they were not real. They have been kicking my ass, but it makes me appreciate real life much more.

2. Watching Mike & the rest of the Nothing record in the sanctuary. It was really pretty in there. I love being in churches. It was great to watch him play drums (he is really talented) and it sounded great in there.

3. Heat - I was freezing at work and actually had the heat on (without Jeff turning it off). I can't even imagine how people without heat or live on the streets must feel during the winter. It has to be the worst feeling in the entire world.

4. Candles - Mike got me these candles from Anthropologie and they look and smell incredible.

5. Gluten free brownies/cookies - yummmmm.

25 Days of Thanks - Day 6.

1. Water - I actually drink it now. A touch of lemon in it.

2. Hot tea - Love it. I used to drink it non-stop, it's a nice soothing treat.

3. Internet - Seriously what a crazy invention. I've been pretty sick this week and can look for christmas presents, do work, talk to friends, etc all because of this crazy thing.

4. Heating pad - best thing ever.

5. My dvr - I get to watch things I miss and can tape random parts of shows to show Michael.

26 Days of Thanks - Day 5.

1. Television - Being able to watch the mind-numbing tv shows that I love when I am sick, actually distracts me. It's great.

2. Back scratches - Love giving them to Mike. Love getting them from him.

3. New tights - I got a new pair of tights yesterday and they are the best. I kinda want to go buy like 5 more pairs. Fancy.

4. Chill work days - I worked on Sunday for the hell of it and today (although feeling awful), my boss was pretty chill. It's a nice change of pace after ALL of last week.

5. Layers - While the people I work with probably think I looked like a bum today, being able to roll into work wearing torn up jeans, boots, shirt, sweater, coat, glove and a hat and wear it all day, is actually enjoy for me.

*Disclaimer - I am surprised I came up with 5 things. Surprised it didn't just say Michael 5 times.

27 Days of Thanks - Day 4 (little late again)

1. Medicine - This goes for anything that brings me relief from being sick. Advil is a pretty cool one. My mom and I discussed last night how crazy it is any of this stuff was ever invented. Nuts.

2. Christmas shopping - Okay maybe just the idea of it. I don't have much money, but I am making myself crazy with ideas. It'd be much more fun if I had some more money and some more time to buy/make things, but I know how good this makes me and other people feel. Yay! My favorite.

3. Gluten free bread - I've been on a GF diet for about 8 months. I have lived without any bread that long. Then I finally found a loaf a bread I enjoy. Just a simple sandwich or toast with coffee is seriously exciting. I love it. I want to bake my own!

4. Hot showers - Seriously might be the greatest thing on earth in the winter. Really could be in one forever if possible.

5. Dreams - Last night I dreamt about my grandmother and father who have both passed away in the past couple years. I dreamt about my friends Josh and Stoney who passed away, too. Considering I didn't sleep long that's crazy. But I like to think they were visiting to say hi. My dad said he likes Mike and is happy I am happy. My grandmother called him 'youthful', it made me laugh so hard I woke up.
