On the other hand, if you're out of toilet paper, you gotta get some somewhere. Maybe the grocery stores are quiet....

That was the next thought, that maybe no one will be grocery shopping. ;)

Apple donuts and cider sounds delicious. Mmm. The sad part about thanksgiving at someone else's house is no leftovers! Especially pie.

Dollar store?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like when I've gone shopping Black Friday afternoon, it wasn't crowded, so maybe wait and try that? And by "not crowded," I might just mean the same amount of crowded as any weekend in December.

I really wish I had gravy to go with my leftover turkey and mashed potatoes, but alas, I don't even have access to flour.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I had a satsuma and 3 cups of coffee for breakfast, then a nice walk with the dog and I am still not hungry. I may never need to eat again. Except that I still have kale in the fridge and I can't let that go to waste.

I have a ton of household chores to do, but I think I will be lackadaisical about doing them. Because, really, why not?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had steel cut oatmeal for breakfast. Mostly because I've had a lot of Thanksgiving food, and I know I'll be making a pie tonight, so I needed a break.

It's a gorgeous, cold day today. I'm planning to walk downtown to buy some Christmas cards and get some lunch once my hair dries. Unless Kohls offers a cure for cancer as a door buster special, that's as much Black Friday shopping as I'm ever likely to do.

ETA, -t, have you ever tried kale chips? [link]

I think I've fallen into the vicious circle where, as soon as I'm not full, I think I'm hungry. Because I'm eating lunch now! Not a big lunch, but still.

I tried making kale chips once and didn't care for them; I like kale steamed, stewed or sauteed better. I'm thinking this bunch will be a frittata as soon as I am up for cooking and eating one. Because I also have eggs that need eating up and a frittata pan.

The slice of apple pie was delicious. I may have some more for lunch, maybe.
