Thankful for many things...

 ...mostly my mom. She has been so amazing since I got my terminal kidney diagnosis. But, unfortunately, she's "amazed" herself into a hole that I can't help with until my housing benefit kicks in. I got my approval letter in September. I thought they were supposed to contact me by now. But every time I call, they force me to leave a message for a callback, then never call me back. It's so incredibly frustrating. I want to help my mom, but I can't until they get their shit together and CALL ME.

I'm also thankful for Chloe. I don't know where I would be without her. Lonely, for one thing. She's a wonderful best friend, and I fail her too often. She needs a cheerleader to stay motivated, and I have been lacking in the cheer department. I REALLY want to do better.

I'm thankful for my brothers, for their help in the past. I get it, times are rough these days. But I love them always.

I'm thankful for my nieces, Annie's living legacies. I know she would be proud of them. Although she might give Lily more of a "kick in the pants" than my mom has been able to. 

I'm thankful for Dory and Willow, even though I was against having pets initially, I love them both endlessly.

I'm thankful that dialysis is sustaining my life, because I am not ready to leave it yet. I still have too much to do. Help my mom, get mine and Chloe's company up and running, making us rich, and I still want to travel in an RV at some point before I die. I've dreamt of that since I was at least 10, if not younger.

I'm sure there's more. Karaoke. Friends. So on and so forth. 

Grateful to be here. Thankful for a lot.


Kicking myself now...

 I didn't make it to the protest

Insert witty title here

 ...I'm running out of ideas for witty titles. Oh well. Found some more journal prompts to try out... What are you most looking forward ...
