Happy Sunday, everyone!  How has your week been?  And even if the week wasn’t so great, how has the weekend been treating you? :wave:

I hope you’ve got lots to share today in the Gratitude Department, because I couldn’t be more thankful this week if I tried. :sunflower:

As you may have seen on my Facebook page &/or Twitter feed, I took Nicholas to the veterinarian Thursday.  Nothing was really wrong, I just wanted him looked over because he’s 16 years old now & has begun slowing down.  But I was nervous about taking him, too, because I worried they’d tell me something I didn’t want to know—like something being wrong that I couldn’t do anything about. :baseball:

But they ran blood tests, gave him a thorough exam, & I AM SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY that the doctor said he’s in great shape for his age! :cheer:  He does have a bit of arthritis in his “elbows,” which they gave me a prescription for & pain meds to give him for a week or so until the glucosamine/chondroitin kicks in…& his vision is getting bad…& his kidney function is down a bit.  No, I’m not 100% thrilled with all of that, but it’s still not bad for his age & there’s not really anything that can be done about the last two.  I just need to keep doing what I’m doing & love him every minute while he’s still happy & healthy. :squirrel:

Quite frankly, knowing Nicholas is okay & still going strong is more than enough to keep me happy & make me thankful every minute.

But I AM HAPPY, too, that my realtor assessed my “old” house last week to give us an idea of how much it’s worth, & that we also have a neighbor already interested in purchasing it.  I don’t know how that will play out, but it’s nice to know someone is interested instead of having it on the market for a year or two with zero interest, y’know? :squirrel2:

And finally, I AM HAPPY that Elementary & Person of Interest have begun to play on WGN America.  I love both these shows—though Elementary is a bit in the lead :juggle: —& since I’ve already seen them all on their first run-through, I can “watch” them in the background while I do other stuff, but still get the general idea & enjoy Jonny Lee Miller’s sexy British accent. :bashful:

Yep, it has been a good week. :dancin:

But it’s not all about me; I hope it’s been a good week for you, too, & would love to hear what has you happy dancing.  Come on, you can’t let me stand around doing the Happy Squirrel Dance & Pile of Leaves Dance all by myself. :jumping:

(This is so me whenever Mr. Handyman makes me get up early, then says, “Mornings are the best part of the day!” :windy: )
