I'm running behind this week, but I wanted to post a few things I'm feeling thankful about and for something different, share a few of the things I've found on Amazon lately in a nod to Friday Finds.
I'm feeling thankful to be home on this snowy Friday. (I could have lived without the sick part, however.) We've gotten about 5 inches of the white stuff at this point...not a big snow by any means, but enough to be a pain and the wind has picked up so there is blowing. The kiddos, at least, have had a great day sledding with friends. It's the first time they've been able to do that in a couple of years since we had no snow to speak of last year.
Also on the thankful list today is that I am beginning to feel better. The cough is really all that is still going on, but when it gets going I just can't stop. It wears me out physically. I know I'm not better as when I had to go out to shovel a spot in the snow for Daisy to do her business it had me drenched in sweat. It wasn't hard shoveling, just that cold, yucky sweating you do when you still have a bug. Still, I am ever so thankful to be feeling a lot better.
Tim has not been feeling well lately, either. I strongly suspect that since I had covid he did, too, but we'll never know for sure since he refuses to get tested. He should be negative by now, anyway. He never gives himself the opportunity to rest by just staying home and being sick. He has worked all along, but... he has only been working 8 hour days this week and he beat me home the days I worked. He falls asleep once he is home and sleeps several hours before getting up for dinner and a little TV. I'm thankful (and surprised) he is allowing himself even that much time to rest.
Of course I am thankful for the usual things: my relationship with Jesus Christ and my church family; my family and friends; my home; my pets; and all of you who stop by to visit.
As for Friday Favorites, I guess I'm thankful to have discovered these things on Amazon.
This awesome electric fireplace/TV stand.

| This HUGE 30x20 inch cutting/noodle/charcuterie board. Megan borrowed my old bread board years ago and never gave it back. I've been looking forever for one that is big enough and wouldn't break the bank! |
 |
| This decent sized foldable litter pan. It has an opening on the top that Oliver much prefers to use. He could still use the door on the front, but doesn't. At least it keeps curious Poodles out. I also love how easy it is to clean with the drawer that pulls out. |
 |
| These awesome highlighters that are perfect for Bible study. The colors are nice and bright but they don't bleed through thin pages. |
 |
| These are my normal vitamins, but I had never seen them in a mini size before. I have to take 2, but it's better than the usual horse pill size. |
 |
| And the very book I needed for the ladies' reading group at church. |
So what are you thankful for this week? Have you found any cool things that make life a little easier?
