Over the last few days, my lovely wife worked on hand-writing the grocery list for our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner.
Here’s what’s on the menu:
- Turkey
- Ham
- Mashed Potatoes
- Sweet Potatoes
- Mac N Cheese
- Stuffing
- Collard Greens
- Apple Pie
We traded pumpkin pie for apple pie this year. But don’t worry, in order to maintain balance within the universe, we grabbed a pumpkin cheesecake from Trader Joe’s.
If you have a feast planned for later this week, what are your highlights going to be?
Good morning and happy Monday, friends!
- New Post: New York City Trip 2025
For many folks, this week will include a nice break from school or work. A break sounds nice. In fact, sometimes I just want to be like this cat.
Over the past week, I discovered that our local library participates in a program called Hoopla. It’s basically a giant archive of ebooks, audiobooks, and videos. You can access it for free as long as you have… get this… a local library card.
It’s been years since I’ve actually possessed a library card, but I ventured out in a quest.
I returned victoriously with a library card. And it has an actual library card number on the back, which I used for my Hoopla registration. And it WORKED. I don’t think I’ll be checking out any physical books soon… or returning to the local, physical library (which, in our neighborhood… was basically a tiny room with a few books), but I will definitely be spending time perusing all of this new digital content.
Don’t worry, guys. We’re covered on snacks for this week.
On Saturday, after making several trips to various grocery stores, Selene and I popped out for a little dinner.
And on Sunday, we decided to hit up the Annual Gem and Mineral Show.
We were overwhelmed by the vast amounts of beads.
Like… just… so many beads.
I think that’s about all for now. I’ve passed the halfway point on my latest book project, so that means I only have half a book left to write.
But that’s still a lot of writing.
Stay tuned for more soon!
