A Month of Thankfulness - November 16

 Today I am thankful for showers and shampoos.  It was good for my state of mind to be able to strip off the pajamas I had been wearing since Friday evening and toss them in the hamper.  My hair isn't styled at all (because what is the point?) but it is clean and dry.  

I am thankful that my sense of smell is returning somewhat.  When I grabbed my lavender cream from the bedside table this morning and sniffed, there was a faint whiff of lavender.  Then I used some of Lynnlee's favorite B&BW cream and I could smell it just a little bit.  So thankful that the sense of smell might be slowly returning.

I am thankful that I feel a little bit of a gnawing pain in my stomach, which indicates that I am hungry. Still nothing sounds good, but the feeling that I wanted to eat something hasn't been around for over a week. It's a good sign that my appetite might be returning.

 I am thankful that Cooper's test results were negative!  So far Lynnlee feels fine so hopefully she is beyond the time frame now for possibly having it.  She was here on November 6 and it is the 16th now!

When Gary was going to leave for his COVID test this afternoon, the white Escape was dead.  That is probably the fifth time that has happened recently---time for a new battery.  The Escape had been in the garage since a week ago Sunday, other than a couple of trips down the drive for the mail. Blaine was here so I called him at the barn and asked if he could take care of that for us.  He pushed the Escape out, removed the battery, then he and Owen went into Delphi to buy and new one.  He installed it and we are good to go.  

We have the best sons-in-law.  I am so thankful for them.

Even if we are quarantined, and even though I tested positive, and even though Gary will probably test positive, we do have so much to be thankful for!
