30 Days of Thanks - Medicine and Gatorade

Day 24 - I am thankful for flu shots. Long story short, John and I were both down with the flu from Friday afternoon through the weekend. It was awful. Poor guy had to keep me from passing out a few times, while he was also sick. I didn't get a flu shot this year because I was procrastinating. I've gotten them for free the last few years through my job. Well, not having that set date means I pretty much forgot. Never making that mistake again. It was a horrible weekend.

Day 25 - I'm thankful for Gatorade, without which I would have probably been dead by Sunday. Also, leftovers. We were finally able to enjoy a little bit of real food Sunday night and it was Thanksgiving leftovers. Normally they would have been gone already. I think I may be ready for pie now.

Day 26 - I'm thankful for my grandparents. Things haven't been the best between us in the last few years, but they're still 2 of the most important people to me. They helped my mom out a lot through the years. My grandfather was pretty much my good father figure during my life. I've had a lot of people losing grandparents this year, 2 just this weekend, so it made me thankful that mine were still around. As much as I was dreading Christmas I think I need to suck it up and be glad I still have the opportunity to make things better.
