After six hours of playing Rock Band, I may have made myself hoarse. And everyone in Metallica can bite me because I hate those songs and can't sing them. Edit: Oh, and I miss Susie because I spent all night singing wearing the stockings she gave me and just put "sensual massage" in the memo field of a check I wrote, just like so many checks we've gotten from her.
I managed to eat two Thanksgiving dinners today and still not over-eat. This may be a first for me in all holiday history. I did, however, manage to miscalculate my insulin needs so that I over-bolused for dinner. Right after everyone left the house, I felt a little shaky and discovered my blood sugar was 57 and I was absolutely full. A glass of orange juice seemed to have fixed my blood sugar but that prompted a nearly irreversible case of the hiccups. Hiccups + low blood sugar + full tummy = Genie flipping out, convinced her stomach is going to explode.
This morning, I found a handy free tool to make animated gifs for my icons. I've been exploring all the possibilities for Arrested Development icons and am thoroughly enjoying the process.
So this year I'm thankful for two pleasant family dinners and my immediate family of Rich and the animals being so fabulous. It's been another great day in Paradise.
As that creepy short lady from Poltergeist would say, "This house ... is clean." I threw away my pitiful excuse for a mop earlier this week, so I got down on the floor and scrubbed the kitchen and dining room floors with a scrub brush, bucket and rag. The floors look great but I look like hell.
We're going to the Puddin'-in-law's for Thanksgiving "dinner" at noon tomorrow and then driving back home to have dinner at our house with my family. This means we aren't responsible for any cooking, only for providing dishes, a kitchen and a dining room for seven adults. We've been doing this for several years now and it works out pretty well.
We still need some staples like drinks and snacks but I think we can handle that very early in the morning or even survive without them. We'll see how brave we're feeling. In my wanderings online to find out store hours, I discovered our local grocery store offers Internet Express Order Ahead Shopping. Maybe after Thanksgiving, I'll give it a try. Rich might not mind going to the grocery store if it's only to pick up items I've already selected and paid for.
