I have plenty of fix up, clear up chores around the house--so Muffin saw to it I was up early. She of course went back to nap already.
The turkey had a hard day as he is still sleeping in the tree over the house. At least he is still with us ;-)
When hunting for checks I discovered gallons of junk stored in the lower level. I have decided to spend some time sorting and pitching. I thought I had done this in recent years, but perhaps this stuff gathered again. The wok that I thought I would use regularly--forget it! Another trophy for the recycling pile. Quiet on this backhill as Jan and Marshall are gone. The kid had his wood stove fired up last night--smelled wonderful!
I promised my Dad I would come in today and help him to do final cleaning chores to get ready for Emily. His hand is less swollen now but still sore. Denise left for Vegas this morning. Emily should be in late tonight. I'll be back home by then. The dinner is ready and prepared for when she comes in. Poor kid--she already had 2 Thanksgiving dinners with her family. They made Thanksgiving dinner at their house for Josh and Veronica on Sunday. Last night Larraine invited Ben, Veronica, Emily and Jasper for a full Thanksgiving dinner.
I bought lunch meat at the Chelsea Market for Gpa. He wanted extra food on hand for Emily. (she really isn't a big eater). Part of my job today is to buy the rest of what is needed--yogurt, Rock and Rye soda. Dad loves having Emily home.
My new frig is supposed to come tomorrow afternoon sometime. Good news is it is coming, bad news is--I'll have to wait to go in and see Emily.
I lecture on Tuesday so trying to prep that on the side. Humanities has lost a lot of its sparkle in my eyes. I put more effort into it than I receive back. I was surprised to hear the head of the department say "we can't expect the kids to have read their books". Really now. She wants me to slow down in the presentations to review what has been said, what the book says because the kids don't read their materials. Really now.
Headed out for a morning walk at Waterloo. Should be relatively quiet.
Happy Thanksgiving All!
