I'm grateful for technology for tons of reasons (not the least, it's been the reason Steve has been able to support his family.) I'm grateful for musicals that put me into a good mood.

I'm also grateful for my sticker chart and my computer that help me log my goals and achievements. And for having the dumpster for my trash so nearby. Oh, and YouTube because it has clips of Fiddler on the Roof on it. AND that Degen is taking a nap, that he and Maggie still nap, that they go to bed at a decent hour and usually doesn't get up again until another reasonable hour.
