Made it home

Wow the parents' redone basement is absolutely fantastic. It looks so warm and even IS warmer thanks to some of the layers under the flooring (which Home Depot refused to do because it wasn't 'level', screw you HD). It came out fantastic and Dad embellished the doors to the back room. It looks like Kanda will be entering a prince's chambers when I lock him away. Dad also got his hands on a vinyl!recorder player that also plays USB music as well that looks like the dashboard of a 60s ear Mustang in candy apple red.

The drive was fine barring the idiots on I-70 and the fact that every moron in Jackson must have been out for lunch when I had to stop by the library.

Got almost 1,500 done tonight in an hour so go me.

Happy Thanksgiving

Yes, running a bit late with that but I mean it. I am very thankful for my friends and family and all of you out there reading this, putting up with me and my moods, for those who help me with my writing or just lending an ear. Thank you.

The casino went as good and as bad as I hoped and feared. Dad fussed a bit. "This doesn't feel like the holiday.' True. Then the reservation got pushed back an hour but Lucky Uncle got us into the high rollers lounge so we were out of the mad house and it WAS a mad house. None of us thought there would be this many people there. We didn't gamble. Hell, you couldn't find a machine.

And they ran out of turkey but none of us cared. We're not much into it. Mom and my Aunt got chicken wrapped around cranberry stuffing. I had pumpkin ravioli and about a cow's worth of prime rib (also the choice of the menfolk). They had mashed potatoes from purple potatoes and the baby beet salad must have been ate to death because it was giant old beets by the time I got there. The wadorf salad was amazing and the cheesecake with a blanket of silky spicy pumpkin puree was great.

So over all a nice day.

And I'm getting some writing done. Again the widget is lagging behind. I'm to 40K
