Well Thanksgiving Day has come and gone.
It was a nice, quiet, small gathering.
After packing off leftovers with the brother in-law there is still a scandalous amount of food here!
College Boy(previously known as #2 Son)will be dispatched back to school with a fair amount of what is leftover from the Turkey Bacchanal.
I am also baking treats for him today to accompany him back to school as well. The child sometimes gets too busy and forgets to go to the dining hall in time and has been subsisting on bagels at Einstein Brothers as they take the school's dining ticket.
Most freshman gain 10-20 lbs. Mine has lost as much so far this semester.
So he will be lousy with cookies and banana bread until he comes home next month at semester's end.
He is also dead broke and has spent his last cent at school. He's got work at the bakery while he is home in Dec./Jan. and perhaps he'll be more careful with what he earns then.
I was a good little slug and ate a modest amount of the feast including just one piece of pie(heavy on the whipped cream however). No second helpings of anything! 8-)
Tonight will be an encore of our feast so no complaints out of the family on that score.
I only left the house to do some banking and 2 trips to Rite-Aid (1 yesterday and 1 today). There will be another trip to Rite-Aid on Saturday for more freebies.
I did 2 bits of online shopping this morning and might imbibe of some more cyber shopping on Monday.
I went to take photos of the Rite-Aid hauls and discovered my battery needed charging.
This is when I discovered I have lost my charger!
Ugh.
The battery can't be charged via a cord while in the camera either. Of course not, I have PLENTY of cords! lolz
It's a special doohickey that plugs into the wall that holds the battery and it's gone missing.
So there will be no more photos on the blog until such time as a replacement arrives in the mail.
Double Ugh.
Two days ago our dog took a turn for the worst. Our beagle is not long for this world due to her hind legs not working. This is an issue that has been coming. She has a vet appointment tomorrow morning and we fear we will receive the news that short of extensive surgery which is not in our financial realm there is nothing they can do and she will have to take the Big Sleep.
So if I don't post for awhile it's because we've lost our last doggie and I am just not up to writing right now.
