I am work, in theory it is a full day, but since Thanksgiving is a "travel" holiday there is a good chance we might getting out early. Fingers are crossed.
Turkey Day-going to my cousin's Black Friday-I have one store I want to go to and maybe the grocery store and then out to dinner with friends Saturday-Moving large pieces of furniture from my grandparents to my house and my parents Sunday-trying to organize around new furniture
Meeee. I'm at work. All day. Ugh. I'm going to make my pie crusts at lunch and bake them tonight.
Tomorrow we're running an 8k turkey trot and having some friends over for food.
Friday is Christmas tree day!
Saturday & Sunday will be busy w/ the foster dog - he's getting adopted on Sunday, but we have to take care of some ongoing medical issues on Saturday hopefully.
Sofa bed, armoire, dresser with a mirror and a table saw and something other large power tool thing my husband wants. And we will be moving two recliners for my parents and an almost dry sink looking cabinet for them as well. Not sure if they will be attempting the china cabinet my mom is getting.
As far as the furniture, not so much. They didn't leave specific things to people, except for the engagement ring, my one cousin got that per my grandmother's request, he is the only one not married.
I did take some knick knack things and some cookware that meant something to me. We have all been taking turns picking out stuff that we wanted. I am the proud owner of their second set of china(the first set was lost when my great grandparents died and someone in the family took them assuming they belong to their parents and no my grandparents) and their good silverware. I am currently wearing on my pinkie and thumb what we believe could be a wedding bands that they previously wore.
At work. FML. Our power went out this morning so getting up and dressed and in to the office was fun. Apparently 95% of people don't realize that a non working traffic light is supposed to be a 4-way stop. Good times.
Also, I forgot to brush my hair and for all the shit I have in my enormous bag, there isn't a brush to be found.
The good news is someone brought donuts, and we're closing at 3pm.

I'm going in to work in the afternoon. DS's daycare is closed so my mom and I are tag teaming daycare duties so we can both work. I have so much to do though! And after work, I will have the supreme pleasure of full contact grocery shopping to get the last few things for tomorrow's dinner.
I am hurr. Catching up on VOE's before I leave this afternoon! Probably will make a Target run to pick up some essentials. Aka face wipes and deodorant.
Mags!! I've missed you on this board. Magda and Muddled sightings in one week, it feels like a holiday miracle.
I'm off work (still) and working on packing to head up to my parents' house. H and I will have lunch together and I'll just keep driving atter that. Then I have to do grocery shopping and get started on some of the cooking & baking.
Thursday I'll be at my parents' house, probably most of Friday too, then I'll be heading home Friday night since I have dance on Saturday. And don't want to leave the cats for too long.
H got off work early and offered to go to Trader Joe's for things that I need for Thankgiving tomorrow. He told me there is a line to get in the store. I am glad he's going and not me.

Holy moly. I can't imagine trying to go to the grocery store today.

This does not bode well for my grocery shopping adventure in a few hours...

I was told I could go home about an hour ago and I am still here. It was a good thing I was here though because someone had a problem and I was able to help them.
I need one more person to respond to an e-mail and then I can leave.
