Happy Thanksgiving

Just a note of thanks for friends I have here in 'Blogland.' I wish you all the best
for the coming holiday and hope that you are all able to be
with your family, friends, and loved ones.

I feel bad for my husband as I will be sleeping through said holiday.
I will have worked the two previous nights, tuesday & wednesday, and of course, thursday night.
It is never a good idea to do a big dinner when you work 12 hr night shifts.
And since a hospital never closes . . .
Thanksgiving will fall on Saturday of Sunday of this year for us.
it is just us two, so no one is really harmed by this change in
the holiday scheme of things except for my husband.
Sigh . . . he often morns the loss of 'Susie Homemaker' but he does
love my paychecks and it is nearly impossible to live on one paycheck in
good, old, California, so I guess susie will be running a little late this year.
Ahh well . . . can't complain really, we both have allot to be thankful for as I am sure all of you do too.

Pass the potatoes and enjoy the pumpkin pie!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yes, That Was Me, Winking, at the Sun.

Apologies all around for having nearly vanished without notice.
Over the last 2 weeks I have been depressed, gloomy, blue,
in the dumps, downcast, dejected, etc.
I chose not to take anyone with me nor subject
anyone to it, not even Mielikki.
It was/is my problem to deal with.
Good news is, I think the worst has blown over, just a few
glimmers left here and there, mostly sadness.

Anyway, the munchkin in the pic was me at about 6 or 7 (I think), at the beach
in either north or south carolina (don't remember, I was just visiting).
I hated the sun in my eyes, which of course was a necessary evil when
having your picture taken.
I loved the sand fiddler crabs . . . use to scoop them up in the sand and hold them until they
dug down to the palm of my hand, they would tickle . . .

Hope everyone has been well.
