Walking Dead support, eye stuff & VACATION!!!! ....Thankful Thursday #95

First I wanted to say, I have been visiting around Blog-land while on vacation... I'm just looking at all my favorite blogs on my tablet, which doesnt let me comment unless I do an extra 5 steps... so just to let you know, I've been reading even though I haven't been commenting.  I'm like that weird stalker you worry about ;)

...moving on....

This week I am Thankful For:

{The numbers go with my One Thousand Gifts Journal / so just ignore them}

935 / Able to pull off a photo session with one eye. That's always good to know that I can handle things that get in my way.  It helped so much having a great cooperative family.

937 / Able to get in the eye doctor quickly.  I was so afraid I wasn't going to be able to get in with anyone but I called & was in an eye doctor's chair in less than 2 hours.

938 / My eye will go back to normal. That was the best news I heard all week.

939 / New glasses.  I'm all about a bargain, so I found a pair of frames in the clearance section.  I dont have vision insurance ... to top all all my insurance woes, health & dental... so I was happy to cut corners where I could.  Ricky actually really likes the frames too so win win.  The lady that helped me was so great too - she knew I didnt have insurance & ended up giving me a 40% off coupon for some of the work I had done.  Any little bit helps.

940 / Baby session turned out OK.  I tend to not do baby sessions because they are all world of their own, but when I have returning clients or previous brides & grooms, I try to do what I can.  So off to see this couple, who I had seen twice previously for other sessions ... & this little guy just wasn't feeling the session.  He probably slept maybe - MAYBE 5 minutes the whole 2 hours I was there.  & not happy about being awake.  The one positive thing is the parents are 2nd time parents so they didn't freak out as first time parents when baby isn't happy.  & I was worried I didn't get great pictures with him being so fussy, but I was so pleasantly surprised how well everything turned out in the end with this session.

I always say it just takes a slick of a second to make a crying baby look like they're smiling ;)

941/ Walking Dead with friends.  OH MY GOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... I knew the premiere for this season was going to be intense. Didn't know it was going to be THAT intense.  So I was so thankful when a friend said they were having a Walking Dead watch party. Better to handle it with others than alone.  Someone there said they wish they had a camera on the couch I was sitting on with my friend Chasity & Audrey.  They said we looked like monkey see, monkey hear, monkey do with the way we were all covering parts of our faces.
... I'm still not over it...

942 / VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!! .. you know I had to put that in there.

944 / New bedding.

946 / Grocery shopping during the day.  Its like a whole other world. Just calmer & easier. I think I need to be a stay at home wife.

947 / 5K with my friend states away. I love virtual races for the fact that you can do them within a time period that is required - but also love you can make that time you pick for a race the same time a friend states away is also going to run it.  My precious friend Nathalie, who I have talked about before on here for doing fitness challenges with, we added virtual racing to our shared interest... on top of knitting & reading & blogging & dog lovin' for just a few examples... we're just basically sisters.

948 / Able to run the 5k. I haven't ran in MONTHS!!!!! I was actually planning on walking & was concerned with my knee & my low back that has been bothering my sciatica.  Not to mention, the running with one good eye thing made me feel like I may trip over something.  But I'm stubborn, if anything - so thought, I'm going to try it... & ended up doing really good. Surprised myself. I did walk some of it, but ran about 85% of it.  For someone who hadn't ran in the longest time, I was super proud of myself & thankful my body remembered to do what it does.

What good things have been happening in your world this week?
