I'm not really awake yet, and I don't have a clue what I'll be doing today. I just wanted to pop in and say hi!.

Good morning to everyone. It is foggy outside but the sun will be out and burn it off. One thing I do not like about being sunny is when the sun starts to go down in the afternoon, it is so hard to see with the glare. Even with sunglasses, it is hard to see.

It is warming up here with high's in the 80's and lows in the upper 50's. I am so happy, fingers crossed, that we did not have any hurricanes this year or tropical storms.

Have a good Sunday, everyone. :)
 
Its a grim ovecast, not raining but very damp outside after several days of heavy rain....

I had the physio office change my weekly appointment to Monday instead of a Friday because of the horrendous heavy traffic on a friday.. and me just getting my driving confidence back.... so they were very willing to change it for me.. but it means my next appt is not until a week tomorrow... which means for once I dont have any where I need to go this coming week.... if I want to stay home all next week I can ... and I just might (y)

You're just bluffing, you'll never stay at home for a week!

Renting an Airbnb, sounds like a good idea. I do like having my small family over this year, but at this stage in my life ( old stage) it takes a bit outta me. For a long time, no one came and it was the 2 of us, I would buy a Barbecued chicken and call it a day; or make a pizza.
Will you make a special dinner for yourself this year or going out somewhere?

I'm still not sure. Nothing is open here on Thanksgiving. I have a standing offer from several friends to join them and their families, but I did that once and probably won't again. I may make a special dinner; I like to cook and try new recipes. Or I may just do pizza!

The thing is I wanted to sleep but they were in every hour or two pestering me so I finally gave up. I got home and laid down and was out.

That was my issue as well. A few decades ago I used to volunteer at the local university hospital, bringing the book cart around with books and magazines for bored patients, if they wanted one. Some people were pretty annoyed at having yet another person knock and stick their head in the door, though, which I can completely understand.

Thanks, @hollydolly; that probably is what I'll do. I'm not worried about it. :)

My father always makes a big, annoying deal over holidays. As I've mentioned, I don't place a big priority on celebrating with family on the actual day. Last Christmas, my younger daughter and I celebrated together (dinner, gifts, and a Christmas movie) on December 23, and he was irritatingly sympathetic on the 25th. :rolleyes: It was hard not to get snappy with him. I know he means well.

my daughter and I celebrate together a few days before Christmas.. .. we've done this for years now.. since both of our relationships broke up

She lives 2 hours away and she has dogs can't be left for too long... so I either go up to her, or we meet up in the middle either just the 2 of us or with some friends... deoending on what date is available for everyone..

This year we're meeting in the middle on the 23rd.. because I don't want to drive all the way to hers since the last collison in my car... it means she doesn't leave the dogs alone for more than 6 hours.. and it also means neither one of us is driving in the dark

I'm happy enough to be home alone on Christmas day as long as I've seen her beforehand... 🎄🎄

I did manage to catch a nap yesterday. Late afternoon, we went to DD's then headed to a nearby beach town. First stopped at a cute cafe for excellent banh mi sandwiches (mine with with tofu), then headed over to a nearby roller rink to watch women's flat track roller derby. What a hoot!!!

I'd seen roller derby on TV over the years, of course, but had no idea what the rules were (yes, there are rules!) or how points were scored. My 10 year old GD is a fan and explained the sport. Fairly simple rules, to be honest.

Anyway, a very fun evening. I'd be happy to go again.

Preschool GS (remember when he was baby grandson, then toddler grandson?) is coming over in a bit to spend the day. We'll make some cookie dough together, and I'll pull a little dough out of the freezer so we can bake a handful of a few different kinds of cookies today. ❤️ 🍪 🎄
