Day Twenty Nine

1. I am thankful that I finished (mostly) my first commercial web page today. It's nice to know that I'm actually going to get paid to do this, plus I really enjoy it.

2. I am thankful that my client agreed to the price I asked for the web page without hesitation. I was a little worried that I was asking too much for a first page, but really, I think it looks a hell of a lot better than a lot of pages that I'm sure cost a lot more.

3. I am thankful that the James' invited us to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was nice to see and talk to all of them and the food was pretty dang scrumptious.

4. I am thankful for steak. I don't eat it very often, so it's happy times when I do.

5. I am thankful that I can finally start to tell people that things are truly getting better. It's a nice feeling and really what I think is needed in order for things to continue to get better. It's pretty damn hard to progress when you're telling everyone how tough times are all the time.

6. I am so very very thankful that we were actually able to pay some rent. I've felt like such a mooch over the last few months. It felt really really good to hand Keith a check.

7. I am thankful that I was able to pay off two outstanding debts today (plus another one yesterday). Things really are getting better.

8. I am thankful that I had time to get Starbucks for Meisha before going to dinner. I always like being able to come through and do nice things for her.

9. I am thankful that the wait was so long at Texas Roadhouse. Meisha was going to have to take the bus home and not have dinner with everyone. The wait was long enough that I was able to pick her up and bring her to dinner just in time.

10. I am thankful that I don't have kids. I'm not jealous of anyone with kids. Never have been. I think they are so much funner when you can hang out with them, play with them and then GIVE THEM BACK.
