Gilbert was here for the week. Time passed so quickly, and now he is already on his way to go back East. We went to San Francisco, where I got an opportunity to have Gilbert share a vegan meal with me, which was a very enjoyable one! We also went to Reno, and this time it was most fun.
Today was Thanksgiving. My neighbor Lisa is a kind person who invited two more people (Frank and me) to an already bustling household that she was cooking for. I had a great time. I made sure to bring coffee and yummies. We ended up poring over all the Black Friday sales, trying to figure out where the best deals were to be had. Honestly, I am going to save my money. I am going to L.A. very soon, and I much rather spend my hard earned money there.
As for Christmas/Yule, well, I am working on that. As much as they say no, I am determined to send a little something to my family. I made it a point to call my mom, sister, dad, grandmom, my brother, and even my half-brother for a quick hello on my lunch break today. Oh, did I not mention that I worked today? Yea. At least I got time and a half. I am also working tomorrow, which I have been warned by my well-meaning new coworkers is going to be bananas. Black Friday and all. Let’s just say that I am really looking forward to Saturday. I am going to make sure that I squeeze in some me-time. I have a book that I really want to pay attention to.
I am thankful that I have a job that not only gives me unlimited free coffee, but also provides me with affordable healthcare. I am thankful that I have a nice neighbor like Lisa who always tries to include me when she can. I am thankful that my family is all in good health. I am thankful that I can sit here quietly, and listen to the gentle tick-tock of all the wonderful clocks in my home.
I have sent Frank my incomplete Christmas wish list. Wait… I just thought of something else that I should add to it!
