Today I am thankful for a number of things today. I suppose when it comes down to it, I am thankful for my boss.

After a tough few weeks I decided I was struggling and needed some time off. My boss happily allowed me to take the next two days off.

We had two pet rats at work. One died last week (old age) and the othhas been lonely. My friend has a few pet rats and was happy to add another to the menagerie.

My boss has allowed me to take the rat home. Also, as part of my job I am not allowed to have pet rodents, or contact with them. I'm allowed to have her overnight, which is a big deal for me.

I am so happy to have this chance. She's currently curled up asleep on my shoulder. It makes me feel so loved to have her so comfortable with me she is content to sleep on me.
