The day has gotten away from me and it's almost time for me to shower for work. I slept until 4:30 and P has been sleeping as well. He's still tired and I'm wondering if he is on the verge of getting sick. His asthma is kicking up and this is how it usually begins. I hope not but we shall see.

I'm really reinventing the holidays in my mind as I have decided its time for me. I was talking about it with my daughter who told me I'm a bitch over the holidays. I am a totally admit it and the reason is I'm left to cook clean and do everything for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is not much jolly left in me with all the work. I know it's the delight of some to run around and wait on everyone making sure they have a great day while running themselves into exhaustion, but it's so not me. I've tried for years to carry on tradition being the only one left to do it and no more. I picked up a flyer from our local grocer and I'm going to order Thanksgiving dinner. It looks fabulous and by the time I purchase everything I need it would cost about the same. I can always whip up dessert as there is no dessert included. That part is easy. It's not that I'm not looking forward to it, it's more of a need to enjoy it for a change, instead of running about all frazzled.

There sure has been alot of drama on the blog in the last couple of days. Fortunately no one can drag my name into it this time.:))I am staying far away from it all as I have had enough to last me a lifetime and I have vowed not to let it in my life ever again. There are still pathetic attempts being made to bully some off the blog but it seems ignoring it is quite effective and things are improving.

I'm working on ideas for a November series of posts. I have some ideas. One of them is Thanksgiving, long thought to be a celebration tied somehow to America's independence. It is no such thing and, in fact, much of what is tied to it here is not true. The whole pilgrim thing is not really how it came to be. I'll post more on it later. Tomorrow I must fetch my turkey up from the crawl space, not the one to roast but the plug in. It's felt with fiberoptic trim on the feathers. Thanksgiving is so glossed over and it's long been one of my favorite days. No presents no stress, just dinner.

Now it's time to dry my hair, having started and stopped this post several times in the midst of other activities. Have a good night all.
