thankful thursday...

i got this idea from a friend of mine and decided i would give it a try...
thursdays shall be deemed "thankful thursdays."

today, i'm thankful that it was my day off from work.
though i didn't end up feeling as productive as i would have liked or hoped, i still managed to get some things done. i've been awfully tired today and feeling a little off, so i had to push through the sludge of fatigue in order to function and get things done, which took some extra effort.
i slept in until 10 (thank you ambien/klonopin mixture for allowing me to actually sleep!) and then laid around the house until noon drinking coffee and basically being a lazy bum. it's always nice to bum it in the mornings, especially when i know i have absolutely nothing of importance to do all day. when i finally got myself up and moving, i drove to the mall to exchange a pair of jeans and look around. i was hoping to exchange a blazer i had bought, but didn't find anything that i thought was any cuter so i just stuck with the original blazer. i did, however, manage to find some awesome hair accessories and a retro pair of black and white striped earrings. love me some cheap forever 21 accessories. i wandered aimlessly around the mall for a while just to kill some time and then decided that i was too tired to continue my destinationless quest so i headed back home. got home and played with the dog for a little while and then mustered up enough energy to get outside and go for a walk. the weather turned off super nice today and the afternoon was breezy but semi-warm...great walking weather. i changed up my playlist and got to listen to some music i hadn't heard in a while. it's always funny when a song comes on that speaks to exactly what you are feeling or experiencing at that moment. i love it when that happens. after i got back home from my walk i fixed some dinner and then tried to clean my room. fail. i got one small section picked up and hung up and then got distracted, go figure. i ended up making bracelets with the new beads i bought. they are cute and i was technically productive but it wasn't what i needed to be doing. somehow i always manage to procrastinate the cleaning of the room. it just gets so dang overwhelming. oh well, i will try again later and see if i can't get a little more picked up. all in moderation, right?
now i'm about ready to get a shower and head to bed. i need to get some sleep and see if i can shake this fatigue by tomorrow. i'm telling you, it has felt like the longest week ever. thank goodness i don't go into work until 3 tomorrow. i still have a morning of time and relaxation left before another day at work. in the spirit of thankful thursdays, i am thankful that i have a job that pays bills though ;)

so, other than enjoying my day off and relaxing maybe a little too much today, i'm doing alright. i'm hanging in there and just trying to get through the days. i've been feeling a little off physically so i may try and get in with a PCP next week if i have time. otherwise, all is fairly well.
hope y'all have a great thursday and can find something in your day that made it special or meaningful.
much love,
