Update 11/29/2020

This wasn’t exactly the Thanksgiving I’d planned; I did not join friends as I’d wanted to. I’m very conscious of spreading the virus, and there was so much on the news. I’d sneezed twice every day for about a week. And when it came right down to it, I just couldn’t justify exchange a slice of turkey for taking the chance that I could be infecting good friends. I called Dave on Wednesday and explained. He was quick to agree, so we both promised to share a big meal another day. One of the NFL games was postponed, so that wasn’t exactly as I’d anticipated, either. I made myself a chicken breast, instant mashed potatoes, a bit of applesauce (instead of cranberry) and green bean casserole. I did not starve!

I did not want to go out on Friday or Saturday to face the traffic on Pooler Parkway. I also was not in the mood to try to find where all my Christmas décor is hiding. Since I don’t have a storage unit yet, all the boxes that I don’t know what to do with are all in the spare bedroom. Someplace in all that mess are nutcrackers, lights, Santas, pillows, etc. Maybe next week.

I did find my new door mat and wreath, so from the outside, it looks as if I’m ready for December. 

I want to get my cards in the mail early since my address has changed (twice) since the greetings I’d sent last year. I should know better than to trust that the post office can do this, but I’ll give it one more year. I worked all day Saturday, and I’ve got them ready. Now all I have to do is buy the stamps.

On Sunday, Kay was in Dallas visiting Adam, Erin and Andy, so I was on my own. I went to Publix and bought ingredients to make a big batch of chili while I watched the NFL games. I’ll be eating chili until May.
