More Gratitude

This morning, my laptop was giving me issues first thing, and I thought, “Here we go again,” but my husband helped me figure out a work-around and it was all good. Our attic is almost finished now, so any day now there will be order restored to my home. Not only have I been able to listen to the Orioles games, but they’ve been playing well, and a lot better than I expected, even for Spring Training.

Let’s not forget that I was able to purchase a ticket to Opening Day.

This afternoon, I went to the gym in the fancy part of town because it’s close to a grocery store I like and I wanted to combine trips. I haven’t been to that gym in ages, and was surprised to see that all the aerobic machines have televisions attached to them!! I think the gym’s video service provider is Time Warner, so that means if TW stops fighting MASN, I’ll be able to watch the Orioles while I workout this summer!

But wait. There’s more!

I went grocery shopping and there on the shelves in the snack aisle was a product that after fifteen years of living here, I had given up hope of ever seeing in my local grocery store. It was none other than the best potato chips ever made, Utz! Utz! My favorite chips…here! I did a little happy dance right there in the supermarket aisle. I didn’t even care who saw! What’s more is that there were two bags left, which is more good news… I promptly found the manager to a) thank him and b) tell him that I waited fifteen years for this, and to please not take them away again. He said they have been flying off the shelves. Utz have only ever been sold in a small geographical region, the very same region where many Orioles fans are. So that means…there must be others here! It gives me renewed hope for my meetup group. (Membership still one.)

Things just keep looking up!
