they should have that offical title for the day b4 thanksgiving, because that’s what it is. me, personally, i don’t have to do any cooking whatsoever. actually, i love to cook, but because i was feeling so sick, all i was in charge of was baking a pumpkin pie, which is totally easy anyway, but mom went out and bought one instead. i did say i’d clean their house in preparation for the Big Eating Day, and i’d rather cook. but at least i’m contributing some amount of work. plus, today i don’t feel like falling to the floor in exhaustion. a nice thing.
last night i had a weird long dream about flying to the moon. i don’t remember the specifics of the kind of vehicle that i took to get there, but i remember that an intricate part of the dream seemed to be a refrigerator overstuffed with food, and in the freezer things were falling out and i kept trying to jam them back in. there was lots of barbeque all over the freezer, lying all around.
and this, with no drugs at all. much more interesting than my usual ironing dreams.
it’s kind of warm out today, and it would be a good time to resume running since i haven’t done it in over a week, but i’m just not up to it yet. oh well. it’s going to be VERY COLD tomorrow and thursday. i really need to go out and buy some good warm leggings because amy saw the leggings i’ve been wearing and was horrified. they’re old and cotton and actually they used to be amy’s. i need something more modern with the modern fibers and stuff. must get right on that.
i’ve decided my paper is going to be long, and that’s just the way it is. maybe 3,500 words. but i can’t help it. there are worse things in the world.
i’m sitting here typing in amy’s salon, and i can kind of hear her talking to a client. she’s talking about her back splash. amy is very house-oriented. back splash. the thing in back of the stove, i think. luckily i can’t hear the whole fascinating back splash conversation.
i think we’re going to go to the FABULOUS ABE LINCOLN PRESIDENTIAL MUSEUM during the holiday time, and i’m looking forward to it, even though C (chester) will not be performing, because he’s flying to ENGLAND today. quite exciting for him. hopefully he’ll have a wonderful time.
i was supposed to fly to washington DC yesterday, and was going to travel into NYC today and was going to stay in a nice hotel and then go to macy’s thanksgiving day parade tomorrow. it was going to be exciting and fun, and i was really looking forward to it, but also having anxiety because of all the stuff i have to do, and then i had to cancel my plans, and it’s ok, really.
maybe next year to NYC. and the parade. who knows? maybe i’ll just say YES, i’ll go next year, NO MATTER WHAT, no matter WHO i have to find to drag along with me.
next year. not such a long way off, really.
have i mentioned that nobody in my family is buying xmas presents? but i’m not entirely clear about this, but so i haven’t even been thinking about buying gifts at all. but i think i’ll end up buying some, but i don’t know when. but i like to buy presents.
hey, and i forgot the MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL – i might be a millionaire by now. i had to buy randy’s mom some lottery tickets because she’s out of town now. she was very very specific about her needs, and i didn’t understand it all, but i handed the slip of paper with the info on it to the clerk at the gas station, and she did it all because everybody buys lots of lottery tickets. but then i had some money left over and randy told me to buy a MEGA MILLIONS ticket.
so i think i’m going to have five million dollars this morning.
this would certainly make the season more bright. yeah yeah yeah they say money doesn’t buy happiness, but I KNOW IT WOULD. i’m SURE IT WOULD. you give me five million dollars, and i’m going to be HAPPY.
even one million. i’d be very happy with that.
half a million? yes, definitely. no problem.
so i’ll let you know when i get the money, and we’ll have a great big party. but i’m not going to buy everybody i know new cars or anything, i’m not going to be like those cretins who win lots and lots of money and quickly manage to spend it all and end up bankrupt.
are you going to shop on friday? that’s another stupid activity, i think. many stores will open at five a.m. WHY? it’s going to be very cold on friday morning, not to mention DARK at five a.m. what could be that important to buy at that hour? ridiculous.
i have to clean now.
i may get to see the movie “rent” tonight, because it’s opening today.
much busy-ness.
ok then,
november grace.
