So there I was waiting for the train to get into the city for the SFWA Holiday Party. I had it all planned out when a voice over the loudspeaker informed us of equipment problems on the tracks. I waited to see if the problem could be solved but the ticking clock told me that this was getting absurd. I was going to spend more time on the train than I could at the party.<\/p>\n
So I went home and then to bowling where we did better because I was there. And the twitch in my sinuses during into a full blown seriously painful headache. Still have the vestiges of it this morning. I would have been very miserable at the party and even more so on the train. There seems to be a cosmic reason I didn\u2019t get on a train.<\/p>\n
Today is getting ready for Thursday. I am going to venture into the store and get the supplies we need for a family dinner on Thanksgiving. I know what everyone likes so I am planning accordingly. The division of labor is that Peter does the Turkey, Ariel and Caroline make the dessert, and I do all the sides.<\/p>\n
There is also the cleaning of the dining room to be done. And various other things that we try to do before the holiday.<\/p>\n
What we are NOT going to do is shop the day after Thanksgiving. I plan to hole up in the house and do other things. The malls are already crazy with the pre-holiday doorbusters and I am almost afraid that someone is going to get hurt on Friday trying to get that cheap Flat Screen TV or Nintendo system.<\/p>\n
The Weather is encouraging me to do things outside today. The problem is that I can\u2019t rake leaves like I usual do since they are repaving in front of our house as I type this. So maybe I\u2019ll put up the Holiday lights for all to see.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for pleasant weather right before a holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
