I hope y’all don’t have Covid, Laura.

Negtive for Covid and Flu. Alas, he has strep. But he has drugs now and is snoring.

my favorite thing was the bourbon chocolate pecan pie

That sounds quite delightful.

Kitty~ma for Leifur. Cats aren't keen on moving.

I think most cats disagree with most Big Change.

Timelies all!

Had waay too much food yesterday. The luncheon served heaping plates of food(turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Mac-n-cheese and green beans.) plus dessert. As usual, Gary's mom made a large amount of food for just three of us. (turkey and gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, stuffing and cranberry jello mold. Dessert was apple turnovers)

I am eating a sandwich full of Thanksgiving leftovers and the cat is trying to figure out how he can get in on some turkey action.

Thanksgiving lunch was just my mother and me at my place. I defrosted some cornbread dressing and heated it along with pulled chicken, while Mom brought broccoli cheese casserole and roasted veggies.

Our big family get-together is for lunch tomorrow. The apple pie I was baking for it slid off the pizza stone and landed face-down on my kitchen floor, so instead of dessert I have unusually expensive kitchen fragrance with a lot of mess to clean up. On the bright side, I neither burned myself nor had to deal with broken pyrex—the pie plate is fine.

Pie tragedy!

Pie tragedy where you escape mostly unscathed is the least tragic kind. In other news, Iowa beat Nebraska by 3 at the literal last second,(Technically I could cheer for either side since Dad was born in Nebraska, but since he and Mom both went to U of Iowa, go Hawkeyes!)

Longhorns and Aggies tomorrow, while I'm driving home no less!

Unfortunately, Leifur’s eating issue was a sign of bigger problems. He’s had kidney and thyroid problems for years, and the combination is hard on the liver. He went into liver failure, and I had to put him to sleep this morning. The vet said this would have happened regardless of travel, and at least he enjoyed the trip and exploring the new space.

My sister is here and helping me unpack while crying. I still have Javier, but Leifur was the cat of my soul. There’s a lot of pre-Christmas stuff that will be different without him.

Oh, Calli, that is heartbreaking. I am so sorry.

Oh Calli that is so hard. I’m so sorry. A new place will be hard without your old friend.
