Last night I played City of Hero’s at Mike and Luanne’s after taking Jess and Abby up to a meeting point where Amanda, Jess’ cousin would take them up to Sherman a day ahead. What a super game, I know that’s a lame pun, but the game is really unique. I can see playing it for hours being easy to do. I created a super hero that looked like the silver surfer had a son with the incredible hulk but got costume accents from Liberace. He really whooped up on average street thugs, but seemed to have a real weakness when I walked away from the computer to go get water downstairs.
Vincent, a former student of mine, called around 11:45 and so I made plans to have breakfast with him at 6 AM the next morning (this morning). Yeah, that was dumb for several reasons, mostly because I got about 5:40 minutes of sleep. I woke up in a hot, sweaty puddle of toothpaste thinking, “What,” when my alarm clock went off. OK, not really. I just woke up saying, “what?” So I got ready and headed to our meeting place. Only he didn’t come. Instead I ordered breakfast and after ordering he called and said he slept past his alarm. So he came down and I got to spend about 30 minutes with him. Not enough time, but time it was.
So, I’m back at work on this day before Thankgiving thankful that I don’t like in any neighborhoods like City of Hero’s, glad I got to eat breakfast and am Thankful I get to see my wife and daughter again tonight.
What are you thankful for? Jokes?
I’m happy for my health and the fact that even though I worry about money, most of my money problems are self-induced. I’m thankful that my family and friends are healthy and happy for the most part. I’m thankful for my cat, and that my ex-husband is in Colorado and happy to be starting a new phase of his life. I’m thankful for the safety that we enjoy and take for granted. I’m very grateful for my job and the people I get to work with. I’m also thankful I live in Texas instead of Michigan because man that snow was getting old :).
