Thinking of Thanksgiving

 Tommy and I decided, well, I decided to get up  early and go to get things I needed or wanted. Of course, I awoke too early and it was sooo foggy I could not see across the street. By the time I figured out the fog had burned off, it was 10 am. So, we rushed out. 

I did get a thing to protect the glass on the tablet, but could not figure out in what to put the tablet. ugh. And, I got as sd card for my flip phone. 

It seems that construction paper I need is not available. I want to make the red and green chains to decorate for Christmas. All I can find is a $10 pack of solid green or solid red, so not spending $20 on construction paper that will take me 20 years to use. I bought a $1.25 package in DT and it had one sheet of red and the wrong color green. I thought that by starting early, I could find some. 

I bought two more of the 20- or 28-ounce white Corelle bowls, like the two I bought last month. We both like them. I forgot to buy more paper plates for emergency use. Tommy is finally using China or Corelle plates without moaning about "no paper plates." So, not having paper plates will help ingrain this habit of using real plates. 

He went in the first store and returned two purchases. The $2 leggings did not fit and the jacket was too small. So, that money is back on a card. 

There were no Halloween sale items that tempted me. I want two things--more dish towels and a large fake pumpkin to use every year. 

I bought a new plastic trash can for the bathroom--white. The harvest gold can was filthy and finally, thankfully, the top rim was tearing off. I mentioned washing the filthy thing when I came here and was visited by the wrath of Tommy. He said he had never washed a trash can in the house and I could not either. The harvest gold filthy can in the kitchen is next. I have no idea how he can live with the filth! 

In my house, I had a wicker waste basket in the bathroom, but plastic will work just to get the place cleaner. 

We came home famished and exhausted. I had a tuna sandwich. We had to hurry to make it to another place I wanted to go. Then, I took a 2-hour nap. Tomorrow, we will take my shoes back to SAS. 

This morning, I was awaked from a sound sleep by the guy's souped up Mustang. I awoke with the bed shaking, thinking I had been thrown from the bed. I am not sure how a car can start with such a roar! He continued to rev it for about ten minutes before roaring off down the road! His son got a motorcycle that he does the same thing with when he leaves. But, thankfully, he is off to college most of the time. I suppose the guy is going through a mid-life crisis, but this is round before 7 am. 

Dinner was the last of the pork loin for Tommy and carrots and potatoes, I think. I have not eaten and have no idea what I will eat. Oh, I had chicken and cheese and salad before the nap, so that is holding me just fine. 

Okay, my thoughts are now on Thanksgiving. I want to get the two turkeys out of the bottom of the freezer and roast both those, using the breast of one for our meal, cooked ahead of time as everything will be. Actually, I will hire someone to come do a few things here. I have one package of cranberries in the freezer. I need to cook those and freeze for T Day and find good prices for more. I have cranberry sauce in the can since I love both. I have pumpkin and Pet Milk for pies. I have soup and green beans for Tommy's green bean casserole. Of course, I have sweet potatoes which will not be polluted with stuff for our meal. I like them plain. 

I will need to look for things on sale or reduced--Fries onions, and potatoes. But, Idahoan may be all we have or need. There is a package of frozen broccoli in the freezer that will work for Thanksgiving. 

This meal will be prepared a little each day like I have done in years past. It is easier that way for me.

Have your thoughts turned to Thanksgiving now that Halloween is past? Right now, what are your plans for food, company, or travel?
