Had to do a post office run today (package needed mailing and I needed holiday stamps for Christmas cards). Glad I masked up before going in because they had about 25 of us in a small closed area standing in a line that doubled back and forth and only two of us were masked up - and several people were obviously having respiratory infection problems. Yikes. If the package wasn't going to my BFF who recently was diagnosed with cancer... I probably would have just left.
Have spent the day getting to some items on my "be an adult and get these things done" list. Productive day but now I am ready to indulge my inner child for the rest of the day doing stuff that just makes me happy.

Picked up my new glasses today. Significant improvement in my RX this time. It is kind of a sad statement on my life that I feel like celebrating getting glasses, but given how bad my vision is, this is kind of a serious matter for me.

Huge 285-Mile-Long River Discovered Beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet – Could Accelerate Ice Loss -
Just waiting until the Seahawks play. Keeping my fingers crossed they are healthy and "on" today. :)
I usually decorate the house for the holidays Friday after Thanksgiving, but it was pouring rain yesterday and I couldn't bring myself to make trips back and forth from the storage area in the garage to the house - dragging in boxes of wet holiday stuff... so I put it off to today. No rain and no excuses today. It's time for some Christmas stuff and I need to kick my "bah humbug" attitude to the curb.

Mark Elias the founder of Democracy Docket and partner at Elias Law Group received violent threats on Twitter and was informed that the threats did not violate their safety policy. 🖕🏻 Elon!!!!
Pre-Thanksgiving prep work is done. I think I work as hard (or harder) the day before hosting Thanksgiving dinner. Some wine and a bit of chillaxin' is now in order.

Delivery driver thank you box is out!
Year 7 of thanks for the many folks who make it up our front stairs to deliver things to us. It's always such a joy, and I'm happy to have gotten it out before Black Friday (always my goal, but last year I was late). It'll get a little zhuzh with some juice pouches to round out the beverage offering, and maybe a couple more salty snack options.
