11/22 Journal

Today’s major accomplishment has been grocery shopping. That probably doesn’t sound very exciting, but given that it was time to get all the goodies for the Thanksgiving meal, it was a pretty involved activity. I think that I’ve gotten everything, but we won’t be sure till the cooking is over.

While I was out, I found a couple of cute wreaths for my front door, so they’re in the car and waiting for the return trip to Illinois. Pictures next week.

We still need to do major cleaning on the living room and the kitchen to get the Thanksgiving feast underway. I’ve been calling the event Cleanapalooza. So much cleaning needs done that I’m embarrassed to even share the actual details. Cleanapalooza really gets underway tomorrow. Did some beginning work today. The heavier stuff has to get finished tomorrow though. Since it’s not quite clean enough for the whole family, we went to Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner. I ordered a chicken-fried steak and ended up with enough food to feed 3 people. I’ve never seen such a huge portion. Fortunately, there are dogs at home here.
