Well…darn, no dreams and crappy sleep last night and up at 6:46 but woke up an hour earlier than that….on the first cup of coffee and I sure hope it starts to work soon…I almost had that elusive day off yesterday but I did clean the kitchen so I guess it doesn’t count….but, I’m getting close and may get there tomorrow…I do have to cook the big t-day meal so I wonder if that counts as work? I do have to get the turkey into brine this morning and I’m not sure what flavors I’ll put in…rosemary, of course but I think I’ll add some bay leaves and thyme along with some garlic cloves….I’m thawing some bacon so I can put that in the cavity with the celery, carrots, and onions tomorrow to give me some good tasting gravy…..didn’t get much done yesterday but the kitchen and today looks like more of the same…I am going to try to get out on the bike today since it is already 41 out there and I would like to do a few more rides outside…but there is a gale warning right now and lots of wind out of the south so we’ll see…..would like to see what the countryside looks like after riding indoors for the past 10 days….not much to do today…I do need to clean off my dining room table that I have been using for storage for dinner tomorrow…..and I think I’ll open all of my shades to let some light in too…there is a huge change in the weather coming on Friday with cold temps and maybe some snow so I need to get out and get the leaves picked up today or tomorrow…or wait til next week but I want to put them out so I would like to do them today….we’ll see…more later…
