FANTASTIC, Mary -- Knock yourself out at the Psychodots shows! You are and always will their Number One fan. I wish I could be there with you.
I'm sure Laura's driving will be a real help for the holiday season, too, not only for running errands but also saving you time from driving her around.
I know how you feel about missing that (small) paycheck, Mary. I chose to take a break from teaching this term, and even though my adjunct pay was pitiful, "pitiful" has begun to seem better than nothing. My dept. head called yesterday to see if I'm going to teach next term. I really could use the $ to help with post-Wilma landscaping repair, and I can write my own schedule if I return; but the commute to Ft. Lauderdale and the administration's attitudes remain negative considerations. However, as of yet, I haven't had any nibbles on an adjunct position closer to home. I have to let my former college know by Nov.30.
Today is pie and cake baking, plus any prep I can do such as cranberry sauce and pre-boiling yams for the souffle. And, believe it or not, I'm actually going to dust off the iron so I can press the table linens (wait -- someone better check my temperature...)!
And, yikes! -- I woke up to a wind chill (yes, we get them in SoFla) of 45! I know, I know, most people would consider 45 warm for the day at the end of November.... But without a furnace, and considering my 2-story home is completely tiled, it's a little nippers here! But it's also absolutely glorious to breathe in that crisp, clean air instead of being slapped in the face with the usual sticky heat. If we could count on sunny and 65-75 for six months of the year, SoFla would truly be paradise!
So I'll just cozy up to the stove for a minute here and suck down one more cup of coffee. I brought some freshly ground Einstein' Bros. (the bagel people) Holiday Blend and a loaf of my famous Cranberry Bread and a tub of whipped cream cheese, if y'all like a post-breakfast snack.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, my S2K family. I'm thankful for each of you!
But I do enjoy cooking......My parents and grandparents are coming over tomorrow....yee haw!!!!
