So last night I wore my bathrobe to bed, along with my fuzzy socks, my flannel nightie, and a fleece hat. Try not to get too excited at the image, boys! Today the game is over and we finally turned on the heat...but only to 60 and only because Himself is working from home all day. It occurs to me that if the boys were home from school we would never get away with this without major complaints. It's actually been rather fun seeing how long we could go before we buckled. Last winter was a walk in the park. This winter we are going to pay for it and then some, which is a concern for a professional Christmas caroler who spends LOTS of time wandering around in the cold, attempting to look cheerful and quaint, while coping with a runny nose and blue fingers.
Thanksgiving is coming up fast, and I am well aware of how much I have for which to be thankful. Lots of people don't have homes, and lots of other people who do have homes are still without power after the storm. Every day I remind myself of how lucky I am. That includes living in a country where we can choose a president by ballot rather than by bullet. So whichever party you favor (and I personally favor a guy who knows his geography), get out there tomorrow and vote. Then maybe once it's been decided one way or the other, we can get back to being one country, ruled by the majority, with a president who represents 100% of us. If you don't like the way it turns out, there's always four years from now to try again. At least the campaign ads will be over. Now there's something to be thankful for.
