Matilda's beau and friend slept over in the garden apartment last night.

So they wandered upstairs and I fed them mashed potatoes and gravy for breakfast (at their request) and trimmed Matilda's hair (at her request), before she headed off to do her first Black Friday shift in the retail world.

I cleaned a bunch of pots and now I have more pots to clean! Sisyphus ain't got shit on my dishes.

But I just had my first turkey sandwich and it was glorious and now I'm droopy and mellow with tryptophans.

My niece and her family were here from Wisconsin, so we all got together to run the kids around a park today before they headed back home. Now I’m spending the afternoon helping my sister start her Christmas decorating and watching Hallmark channel holiday stuff. Tonight-tomorrow we’re expecting about 5” of snow, so that will be a good time for my LotR marathon/ tree decoration.
