I am grateful for costume day at Cooper’s school. He already has a batman costume for Halloween. It’s been getting lots of use; I hope it lasts that long!

I am grateful for a tidier house than we usually have. I’ve been chipping away at it a bit more each day. It’s starting to look like normal people live there!

I am grateful for a decent work week. Pretty much everything I hoped to do got done.

I am grateful for omelettes. They are good fast and cheap, and you so rarely get all three.

I am grateful for a safe journey to Parksville, where we are spending the weekend.
