Thankful Thursday

 Good morning, one more day until Friday.

---wow did we ever get a storm late yesterday afternoon. I was leaving work at 3:23 pm and the lightening show was something else. No sooner I pulled into the driveway 45 min later, all double h-e hockey sticks broke out. Wow. Quite a bit debris out there (according to hubby), just so thankful...we did briefly loose power.

---thankful for the officers on duty yesterday. I had to have them take out an inmate out of class yesterday. Said inmate sits in lock, who failed a drug test too. Yep, in prison. Second time in 2 weeks I had to call for back up. 

---thankful for each of you.

---thankful for a boss who lets me sit in a self-imposed time out in a corner in his office and never ever says anything until I am ready to talk. Those two situations have been very overpowering and scary.

Just completely and utterly thankful for so many things. Last, but not least, thank you Jesus for the daily wisdom and guidance, it sure has been tested lately.

Friday Jr. Have a great day all.

Hodgepodge

 Good morning. Time for the

1. What's something on your August calendar you're looking forward to? Or dreading if that's easier to answer. September, October, November? Cooler weather? lol

2. August 5th is National Oyster Day...do you partake? Ewww...How do you feel about pearls? I own a Mikimoto necklace and earrings, and they are in a safe.

3. Tell us about a time when you felt like 'the world was your oyster'. Sigh...probably when I was younger and had no cares in the world. Now, I am settled with debt; mortgage, two truck payments, taxes, house insurance ($2,100 a yr!) yada yada. 😂 

4. Trip Advisor lists seven islands in the US that require no passport (for US citizens). If you're answering today from outside the US you'll still need to produce yours. An-y-way, have you been to any of the seven? Let's pretend you get an all expense paid trip to one this month...which one do you choose and why? 

Catalina Island California~Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts~Mackinac Island Michigan~Key West Florida~South Padre Island Texas~or Kauai Hawaii

Been to every one of them but Hawaii as an adult---I went to Hawaii as a baby and don't remember. LOL--and don't ask me to choose, because MA, MI, TX and Fl are all beautiful. BUT with that said, Key West wins all the time. 😂 

5. Sylvia Plath is credited with the following- 

"August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time."

Agree or disagree? In other words, how do you feel about this month? Look, can't we just move forward to the cooler months? Or even get one good storm i.e. hurricane to knock all this humidity out? 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

yeah, probably shouldn't elaborate on that. LOL---the usage of the "f" word in daily conversation is just too much...and I had the afternoon class write out 100 sentences yesterday--spelling out that word...because obviously discipline isn't working, so let's try another way. Grown women acting like children, sigh. Every.single.day...someone cusses me out. Unacceptable.

Wishing you a beautiful day.
