  1. Daughter is planning to come back today to butcher more turkeys. I just got the kitchen back from last time but it is all good.

    Husband is recovering from his bout with pneumonia.

    Daughter seems stable.

    Son is not too volatile over the loss of his device.

  2. I had quite an excellent week.

    🙂 Six radio/podcast interviews.Each one was totally fun in its own way.

    🙂 My website had 7xs the normal visitors on Wednesday.

    😦 Since stats for readers appear in a bar graph, I can no longer tell how my blog is doing on a given day at a glance. It all looks puny, even when it’s double the normal views! LOL

    🙂 Mrs. OC bounced around on Amazon and gave me a fun day there–she went from about #65,000 to #8162 in a couple hours; my agent labeled that “fantastic.”

    🙂 I finally got to take a nap!

    🙂 My daughter is coming home today for a week!

    🙂 Pressure is now off on the book launch. I have one more complicated (and expensive) thing to do–send out postcards advertising the book to 12 states worth of libraries.

    🙂 I have until the end of December to organize the labels, put them on the postcards, stamp them and drop them in the mail on December 30.

    🙂 More interviews and blog posts await, but it’s all manageable and fun.

    😦 Two sons still do not have work.

    🙂 One son has interviews this coming week. He’d just as soon start to work, if he gets a job from this local powerhouse, the first week in January anyway.

    😦 Price gouging, heartache, evictions and gloom have descended on my community.

    🙂 Jesus is always the answer.

    🙂 Happy Thanksgiving.

  3. 🙂 The Boy is enjoying Cub Scouts, & earned his first badge.

    😦 Makes me sad that Hubby is not here to see that. He would be proud.

    🙂 But I’m glad that he got to see The Boy in his uniform while he was in the hospital. That made him happy.

  4. 😦 I have the dreaded head cold – sore throat and all I want to do is sleep.

    🙂 KJ is much better. Past apparent improvements in her bronchitis were short-lived, but Friday morning she woke up feeling her breathing was close to normal for the first time in weeks and she’s continued for two days to feel pretty good. Still a lot of coughing.

  5. You all know that “Elvera wears “Always”, absorbent panties. She was getting ready for bed.
    (I know, it’s 8:15, but that’s what she wanted to do. That or watch TV.) Anyhow, I told her that if those were wet, she needed to change. I gave her a dry pair.
    I went in to check and she was putting the dry ones on over the wet ones..
    I have to watch every thing now.
    Not a big deal, I can handle it.
    But it’s Just One More Thing. 😦
