I’m really glad that Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday. That means that we get a long weekend off from school or work. That means that we have 4 days to eat  huge dinner and all the leftovers. That means we can go out downtown for a kickass Friday night and Saturday night with a changed up crowd. A lot of the kids have gone home from here for the holiday, but then again, a lot of kids have come home to here and are out looking for a good time.

Weekends around here will be rocking. Even week nights. We have all kinds of way cool shows happening all month. Not even a good reason for it. Just incredibly lucky good timing for music fans.

Thank God my job does not require me to work outside in the elements. Or worse, whether I work or not being dependent upon the lack of rain. The guys who work construction, home repairs, land surveyors and road crews all need sunny days to get their work done. And their paychecks depend on it.

We have had 16 straight days of rain. I don’t think I could go 16 days without a paycheck.

I’m the first to admit that I have almost no domestic skills. I hate doing laundry. I hate cleaning the bathroom. And I hate doing dishes every night.

My laundry is probably the hardest thing to keep up with. There have been situations where the underwear and socks came out pink. There have been countless single socks that have no mate. And today my sheets came out with a huge tear along the side of the bottom sheet.

So this afternoon I will be shopping for new sheets.
