I'm glad I walked to work today. It was 61 degrees out. It was probably the last warm-ish day we'll see in awhile. I'm also glad I decided to come in early, for two reasons: 1) it started pouring immediately after I got here, and 2) the daytime secretary had left early so my boss said I could sign myself in when I got here, so I got an extra half hour in and it isn't much but I can use the extra money. T (my husband) is going to pick me up on his way home from work and we're going to do some grocery shopping. I generally hate grocery shopping, but it has to be done. If I'm out of body wash or shaving cream or shampoo, though, I like shopping for that stuff.
T and I spent the whole weekend in bed. No, nothing that exciting-- I mean sleeping. But we did get Ethiopian food with K and I to celebrate I's birthday Saturday. I'd never had Ethiopian food before. It has the same kind of savory quality as South Asian food, but you eat it by dipping this kind of spongy bread into it. It was good.
My sister L, her husband C, their four sons whose first names all start with J, and their dog Daisy are all coming over for Thanksgiving from Michigan. They're getting here on Wednesday. L and I are going to indulge in retail therapy the late afternoon of Black Friday. She says she wants to hit up a book store, a clothing store's clearance racks, and that she wants to buy me something nice. Well, I can't argue with that! I think I might want her to get me nice lavender scented perfume because lavender is soothing.
I have to admit, this time of year stresses me out. I worry about whether people will like the gifts I give them, or whether I'm giving them something I got them last year, etc. But then I tell myself these gifts are for people I love and who love me, it's not some kind of bizarre contest to see who gets people the best gifts. Then I move on to worrying about something else. I'm a really big worrier.
