Holiday Season Begins.....

Well, Thanksgiving came and went without much fanfare. I made turkey breasts, green bean casserole, and sweet potatoes. We ate late. I spent the day grading (not finished) and not much else.

Sara stopped by, after calling half-a-dozen times. I've been avoiding her, actually. Once again, she got on my nerves (who knows why), and I thought it best to just not be around her.

Today, went to gym- nearly 210 now (No wonder why I've been so uncomfortable in my clothes), cleaned the house, and began laundry. I have such a long list of TTDs, never ending really.

Mother called to tell me that Aunt Jean is sending another 25G. Very grateful. Plan to invest 20G, so I will have nearly a year of salary in investments, and give a bit to David. If she happens to do it a third time, I am not sure what I will do with it. Maybe get some work done around the house.

Grandma (received 100G), is paying some of my school loans. Mother (also received 100G) is fixing up her house. They will both get another 100G. A bit jealous, perhaps, but still very grateful for what I've received.

Around four weeks until Christmas. As for the past few years, I plan to do my shopping online, avoiding the crowds. Not sure what to get everyone, but happy I will not be putting in on Visa.
