Happy Thanksgiving! I will spend mine working! I guess someone has to be working, people don't stop being sick. It is a bummer knowing my family will be enjoying the Macy's parade, baking turkey and ham, making pies and cranberry sauce, all the while listening to Christmas music. It all sounds so good, although I know in reality it never is as good as you remember. I put high expectations, especially around the holidays. And they always seem to leave me with a less than satisfied feeling. Oh well. I think I work again on Sunday, if I have my dates right. Really a bummer, 2nd Sunday in a row, plus a holiday Sunday?? I want to be home!!

This week I went and saw my first movie all by myself! I saw Disney's A Christmas Carol in IMAX 3D theater. So, not only by myself but also my first 3D movie. I watched it with about thirty-five 6 year olds. I liked the movie, it was great animation and great music. Same old plot of course. But, it was scary!! I don't remember Mickey's Christmas Carol being so frightening! I would have been scared if I was a little kid. Maybe I was thinking it would be similar to The Polar Express.

Today I cleaned my house, and it was good!! My bathroom is fully scrubbed and bleached, all the carpets are vacuumed, and the kitchen counters wiped down and floor mopped! So good to have a clean house! Next to conquer will be my room, the endless abyss of chaos it is. I partially cleaned it after I spilled an entire cup of coffee all over the carpet. That included some books, CD's, and my camera. Don't know if my camera will work again. If not, Black Friday here I come!

Well, no more of my thoughts or deeds to blog about. I feel this blog is pretty boring sometimes. All I talk about is what I'm doing. Hm, oh well I guess! I will have to spice it up!

Happy thanksgiving, Allison! Hope your work day is wonderful. You are showing Christ to the people in your ICU as you take care of them.

Thanks for all your help Tuesday.

You totally just described our morning in that first paragraph. I wish you were here.
Oh, and I was just thinking to myself before I read this that I might get a camera at Black Friday tomorrow... so maybe we can find a good place to stake out for that. Yeah!

Happy Thanksgiving! Sickness knows no calendar... I remember when my dad had that awful leg-infection years ago and nurses came to our house ever 5 hours on Christmas to change his IV-bag and clean the wound. We were so thankful for them... you are a blessing to people today. Love you.
