What are my plans for Thanksgiving Day? We will stay home, where it is quiet, roast turkey breast, stuffing, and brussel sprouts.
My Wish for your Thanksgiving Day? Relax and don't stress. If you still have the special china, crystal or silver tucked away, get it out and use it. Either use it or pass it on to someone else. We gave away our "special and never used" - everyday is special - we use the best everyday. So what if it wears or breaks, so will we someday.
What progress have I made on adventure planning? I booked the last of the hotels for next spring, 3 nights in Edinburgh and 3 nights in Glasgow. Now to book a couple of connections between major cities.
When will I next visit a shopping mall? Well after New Years, after the end of the year shopping frenzy. Half of what is on sale, is special junk just brought in for the season. I always suspect items on "special sale" are marked with a price no one would ever pay, so they can mark them down to more than they should be, knowing that most people will think that it is a bargain. Everyone should work retail for a few months at least once in their life.
Who got the slap they deserve this week? The condo package thief, security traced and followed and caught someone taking recently delivered packages from in front of doorways into the stairwells to open them and remove the contents . . . a stolen laptop was recovered . . . we assume the police are involved.
Who am I helping out this week? Watching for package deliveries for a dear neighbor down the hall who is visiting family out of state this week.
Who was most in the spam folder this week? Doc Spo, I released him from comment jail. I wish the filter would allow me to set "always accept" comments from particular posters. It does not. And it screens multiple comments posted at one time, as potential spam. Part of being a good blogger, is regularly checking the spam filter for friendlies and weeding out the trash.
Who gets the idiot of the week award? Checking out at Aldi, with several people waiting I watched a women using the self check. I was next in line, and she had just scanned the last item in her basket, and I am thinking I will be next and out of here in a flash. She leaves her kid there, with the order at the self check, and walks back to the far corner of the store for cheese. Comes back scans that, then fumbles for two minutes to make Apple Pay work on her phone, all the while others, including yours truly, are waiting, and waiting. How inconsiderate.
