  I was offered a research assistant position by one of my professors at my university! As a bonus, the hours are insurable, and so I can count them towards my totals in order to be eligible for federal maternity benefits! Now I can cut back at my part-time sales job and do what I actually want to be doing 🤗🤗
  (I wasn't working last year as I was studying full time and my program is fairly demanding in terms of time commitments. In order to be eligible for mat leave benefits, I have to have worked at least 600 insurable hours in the past year before claiming, so I've been scrambling to fit in 600 hours before November!)

  Congrats @alaluap!
  
  So I have to admit I'm struggling with something to post here but I think its an important exercise to be thankful since I need to focus on the positive. So.. I'm thankful that:
  - today looks like its shaping up to be a quiet day at work, allowing me to double-bill some hours for two jobs
  - that I was able to WFH yesterday for my doctor's appointment
  - that the weekend looks like it will be sunny and nice

  @creamcheeseplease Those are great things to be thankful for. Sometimes the smallest things can brighten our day
  
  I couldn’t think of anything yesterday but I am thankful my 5.5 yr old daughter’s attitude has been a little bit better since my almost 3 yr old’s is ramping up lol!

  I'm a day late (as usual), but thankful for the weirdly mild summer we've had this year. We've only had maybe 1 or 2 days that have hit 100*, and it's still cooling down to like the mid-60s at night. That is unheard of for my area-- daytime usually hits 100+ and nights cool down to mid-80s. So I'm loving this.
