Wow, Andi!
I totally blew off Thanksgiving yesterday in favor of reading. As it was just me and the cats, I don't think anyone was upset by that. I did make a very tasty ginger, carrot and sweet potato soup today though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wow, I thought watching Lilo & Stitch for some light Friday evening entertainment was a good idea. I forgot about Hubby singing along to Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride and the whole "This is my family" thing. It's a good thing I don't own "Up." Damned animated kids movies.

My flight home transferred through Oakland today, and I realized I probably haven't been to the Bay Area since the early 80s (and I don't remember much from that trip, unsurprisingly.)
And I'm fighting a cold, I think.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yeah, that would be a shredder, Connie.
sarameg, are you getting hit with cold after cold this year, or am I getting mixed up?

sarameg, I hope you didn't pick up my cold as you swung through Oakland!
I fought off my cold long enough to go see Vienna Teng do a short set as a fundraiser for climate change, and that was great, and now I'm miserable and sick again.
Doing the math of how much acetaminophen I'm allowed to take as part of these multi-medicine pills gets more complicated the longer I'm sick...

Consuela, I'm researching lighthouses for a thing or two and was thinking of you.
Home from DH's family. They are lovely, but it's a definitively male-led discussion around the table. I could say nothing right unless I was agreeing with someone quickly.

I hear that our parents survived their Thanksgiving without us, hippocampus.
We are packing up to head home (boo). I caught a crud, so whoever sits near me on the plane, I apologize in advance.

If was inevitable, IF I caught this from K. This is mostly snot so far.

Sparky were my parents with yours? We haven't talked since last week and that was only for S & I to say "stop sending us links to Fox News affiliate journalists."
