A quiet Thanksgiving here.
Just the three of us. Lasagne, crescent rolls, salad, and the pumpkin crisp I never made last year. DB started clearing off the kitchen table before lunch, so that I wouldn't have to do it while in the middle of dinner prep. J actually helped this year (!) -- usually he doesn't even notice that I'm clearing the table. We'll see how long he manages to put his crap away. (Usually, 75% of the stuff on the table is his stuff that he can't be bothered to put away.)
Mum (living in NC) was off to T'day dinner with her extended NC family. Her best friend from HS lives down the hall, and *her* daughter lives in the next town over, and Mum has been her "Aunt Suzi" forever. Mum just got back from shuttling AC down to Cocoa last week, and will be going down in Jan for a bit. AC just turned 90, and other than not driving (due to post-concussion symptoms) is still living on her own.
SR is working (team leader on the catering staff) the race schedule at the (horse) racing track across the street from the sub she lives in. She can walk to work, which makes the commute pretty easy. She's sent us a couple of pictures of her in her spiffy sharp black-and-white staff uniform - one with a hi-viz vest over on moving day, and yesterday with a clear raincoat, as it is now spring in Australia and it's doing the spring rains thing. She says that she's adopted "competency is its own punishment" as her work mantra, as she got hired on as a team leader despite no managing experience.
My thumb is getting better, but there are still a few things that make me go "Ow". The OT has told me that I can swap into the smaller splint for daytime now, but still wants me in the big one at night. Two more weeks of OT, and then we reassess -- she has figured out a few more things it isn't, and has mentioned that she may be suggesting a referral to a hand specialist. I'm kind of afraid to ask her if I should take a concert session off (Holiday concert is 9 December, the next one is in March).
The black cat is annoyed by the change in weather -- he wants it warm and not-snow-covered, tyvm.
