So, it’s Saturday, but let’s not quibble about details, especially when it’s Thanksgiving week!
1. The Topamax appears to be helping my headaches. The chronic headaches are much less, so I’m getting a real break between the migraines. I feel the cognitive slowing more than I’d like, but it’s not very noticeable to the rest of the world. I’m not going to ask my doctor to increase my dose for a while to see if the side effects will decrease a bit. In any case, I’m feeling better overall (although today is a pretty rough one).
2. I felt really well on Sunday and made it to church, which made for a successful day in and of itself. But, it got even better. PWM and I decided to go see Les Miserables on it’s last night playing at the Fox Cities PAC. Sure, we had seats in the nosebleed section, but it was wonderful anyway!! Such amazing music – and a wonderful story!!
3. Rosie Girl got a Kindle in lieu of payment for babysitting this summer, but she hasn’t been using it nearly as much as she expected that she would, so PWM and I have bought it from her. I never felt any interest in an e-reader, but I’m loving this Kindle! I have Les Miserables on the Kindle, which was free. It keeps track of where I’m reading, let’s me highlight things, and is easy to read. It also weighs a fraction of what the print version of Les Miserables must weigh!! A couple of nights ago, I knitted a cover for the Kindle so that I don’t have to worry about just throwing it into my bag.
4. We put up our Christmas window display at The Knitting Nest yesterday along with Cathy from Premier Petals and Kasi from Focusing Life Photography. Originally, we were just going to use our little 18 inch Christmas tree, but then decided to include our 4 foot tree as well. Which means that we don’t have a Christmas tree for home right now. I think we’ll have to take care of that tomorrow or Monday.
5. We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, iced tea, apple pie, pecan pie, and vanilla ice cream. We’re still eating leftovers, of course! PWM cut most of the turkey off the bones, but he wasn’t too fussy about getting every last bit because the bones are in the freezer so I can take them out and make turkey and andouille gumbo tomorrow or Monday. The week after that, we have a half ham to eat. I’ll use the ham bone to make the stock for tomato soup. It’s become a tradition that we do our Christmas dinner on December 26th and I have no idea what the family wants for that meal – but I’ve got a few days to sort it out!
6. I’m feeling the need to get rid of stuff and get organized. PWM is feeling the same way. Well, he’s not as fussed about the whole organizing thing. But, when you don’t have as much stuff, you don’t need to worry about organizing.
7. Christmas is on the way, and I refer you again this year to Advent Conspiracy. I don’t want anyone to ever feel guilty for being generous, but it’s important that we remember during the holidays, as during the rest of the year, that our lives should focus on Jesus.
