Footprints on the Moon

Happy Thanksgiving from me, Pudge, and Lucy! I hope you are spending the holiday exactly as you want to. I would say I hope you have a wonderful day with your families, but I know there are plenty of people who DON’T want that As for me, I’m stuck at work until 3pm and then I’m off to join part of my family for a Thanksgiving dinner already in progress. So whether you are spending the day with family, by yourself, at work, or sitting in line somewhere with your walmart coupons waiting for Black Friday deals to start, I hope you are exactly where you want to be.

I know I’m supposed to post a list of all the things I’m thankful for, but the list is too long. I’m thankful I still have a job to be stuck at today. I’m thankful for friends and family. My furry babies. And and and. Sometimes life is hard, but it’s nice to spend one day realizing how much you have in your life that is amazing.

It seems like there is a never ending list of things I need/want to buy “when I have the money.” Since I’m trying to pay off 7k in medical bills, having the money is really kind of laughable. Currently at the top of my list are:

* A new winter coat. Mine is still serviceable, but I bought it when I was quite a bit heavier so it’s pretty big on me. It will survive another winter.
* Long underwear. My work pants, they are thin. Indiana winters, they are cold. My work area, it is drafty.
* Sweatpants/comfy pants – since I gave away everything that no longer fits, I have very few comfy pants to wear. Actually, I have very few pants at all since I have one pair of track pants and one pair of jeans. That’s pretty much it.
* ace custom wheels. Okay, not really. But I do want new wheels for my roller skates. Since switching to a new setup, the ones I have now are too soft and I could really do with something a bit firmer. But the floor at the skating rink gets a lot slicker during the winter when it gets cold so hopefully they can get me through a few more months and I can look for something else with my tax check.
* Yarn! Well, why not? There’s always something I want to crochet, but yarn costs monies. Boo. This is definitely a want because I have enough unfinished projects and a cheap yarn stash to keep me busy for a year. That seems beside the point.
* Weight Watchers. We’ve discussed this.
* Many, many other things I would love to have, but can’t justify. Being a grown-up stinks, y’all.
