Happy Thanksgiving!

I feel like I'm forgetting something -- it's the turkey-in-the-cooking-bag syndrome! (My husband likes to cook the turkey in one of those roasting bags, which means it takes a lot less time to roast and as a result you're not running around in your pajamas getting the dressing ready to stuff as soon as you get up.) We won't actually be preparing the turkey then until about 10:30 this morning, so I can relax. And make pumpkin pies. And chop stuff.

Ah...I slept in until 8:00 this morning. Felt great. I probably could've stayed in bed longer as the dogs were out already, but my back was killing me! It's really been aching the last couple of weeks, and also my right leg on and off. My husband says I'm out of alignment. I think it's stress, and quite possibly NaNoWriMo, crouched-over-the-computer-syndrome.

Well, the kitty's sick again. Much worse than a couple of weeks ago, too. She's back in the laundry room and I'm giving her leftover meds from the puppy's problems earlier this year, since the vet can't see her until tomorrow. I know he's going to want to do X-rays which will cost us another couple of hundred dollars -- grr. I really wonder what's up with her? She's a 100% indoor cat!

My son is in snakes and snails and puppy dog tails heaven. His friend gave him some water snails for his aquarium yesterday. He's obsessing. For example, he wrote a note and stuck it to the aquarium: 'Take the snails out before cleaning the tank.'

He is so my kid.

This morning's note from Chris Baty said he was feeling far from finishing...and he has, like, 10k words more than I do!

Yikes.
