Another weekend end

I had a lovely 4 day holiday. Thanksgiving was good, the kids were fun, the food was good, and I got quite a bit of much-needed house cleaning done. Tomorrow starts a very busy week for me, we have a concert Saturday, then on Sunday we take the bus up to Sewanee for Lessons and Carols. I hope it doesn't get icy, that is scary.

I had someone come rake my yard. I do think I will get a blower though. I don't mind leaves and I can do it so much faster than the man I hired. I thought he would never get done. I felt sorry, it was cold and windy, and he wasn't a young man, I kept coming out and raking some to give him a hand. Some boss I make. Well, he still has to clean the gutters, but I went ahead and paid him, and if he doesn't come back, I guess I chalk it up.

The kids were well, except son in law, who had a stomach bug and stayed up all night throwing up his Thanksgiving dinner. That was not fun. I had things for him to do! no really, it was the first time he has gotten to actually spend this holiday with us, and he had to be sick. Poor thing.

I have been reconsidering my dislike of thanksgiving. After this year, in my new house, I have decided the togetherness was fine, but I don't like turkey and I am not going to cook it again. Mary loves it, but she can get it at her dad's house. I will cook something other than turkey, maybe steak. and I can be thankful for steak.

I over did it with forbidden foods, not way overboard, but enough to know that I need to get back to my routine. I didn't gorge, and I left some on my plate which was what I promised myself I would do.

Well, I am off to bed now, I will endeavor to get into work at a reasonable time. I want to be able to leave by 4:30 at least. If not, then I need to build up a few extra hours to cover my trip in January. Anyway, goodnight for now.
