Yes. I pulled out all the Christmas decorations today. No tree yet (it’s gotta be real, so we’ll get it close to the big day), but everything else is up! Here are a few of them (don’t worry, you’ll be seeing them all before long…) Thankful for this time of year!!

It’s been a busy day – just got home from the movies, gotta eat something and go to bed.
Also gotta be thankful to Volkswagen for treating us to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! I want to see it again!! 🙂
NaNoPoblano – Day 15 (November 15): Figuring it all out

No, not what’s happening in the world – I will never get that. But I am going to try a new workout schedule. There is a kickboxing place near our house, but the after-work classes are typically around 8:00 pm, and I just can’t get motivated to go out that late, especially at this time of year.
Thankfully (see me get to the thankful part!!) they have classes at 7:00 am as well, which means I could still get to work in good time and then my workout would be done! I know I said to Debbie from Forgiving Connects the other day that getting up early for running would be too hard for me, but I think I can do the kickboxing. I have to walk there in the dark, but it will be light, warm, and dry (except for the sweat flying) in the gym.
So, tomorrow morning? Kickboxing at 7:00. Wish me luck!!
But for now, coffee and then supper! Oh, and of course, relaxing with kitties…
NaNoPoblano – Day 14 (November 14): I live in the best place!!

These were a couple of scenes from my lunch-hour walk today. I don’t want to live anywhere else!
NaNoPoblano – Day 13 (November 13): Good-bye sofa-bed!

After 4 years of living in this house, we finally got rid of the old sofa-bed which has been in the basement since we moved in. I put it on Used Victoria multiple times, and finally, this time someone came to take it away! I was happy, ’cause it was a student who sounds like he’ll put it to good use.
Goodbye old sofa-bed. We didn’t know you at all – hope you have a good second (third? fourth?) life!!
NaNoPoblano – Day 12 (November 12): Time to clean up

The yard, that is. Thankful that we live in a place where we can be planting and cleaning up the yard all year round!
Sorry it’s such a mess out there…

To top off a week (and quite frankly, a year) full of angst and a little despair, today we lost a legend.

That is all – thankful we had him in the world for 82 years.
NaNoPoblano – Day 9 (November 9): Thankful for fresh air and kitties

I’m not going to rehash my feelings from today – I imagine many of you have been feeling the same way. I am thankful that, for me at least, life goes on and the ordinary has been my anchor today.
The ordinariness of a work meeting with colleagues, and a great conversation that looks like it’s going to lead to a fun project.
The ordinariness of a garden that desperately needs to be cleaned up (I sure hope the long weekend isn’t rainy!)
The ordinariness of kittens wanting to be fed and scratched.
I am finding comfort in these things today, and I hope those ordinary things help others get through all that is happening, and all that will happen over the next while.
May all be well; may all be happy; may all be free from suffering.
