January 6, 2012, Friday, I am grateful for:
Kat McLain for telling me to tear up the check I had written to her for Thomas visiting her two days this week . . . and telling me to write it for one day and to give it to her when I could.
Date days with Lillian.
Dr. Rick Winkelman, the optometrist who gave me samples to last me until I can come in for my annual check up in February.
The cashier at Walmart who told me not to worry about it when she accidentally input that I had given her $36 for my $34 dollar bill instead of $31. I was going to put the rest on my debit card; but couldn’t because she incorrectly put in the $36 instead of $31. I even offered my business card so they could contact me so I could pay the difference and they said no.
