Three Days Off Work Starts Today - Groceries Still Need to be Purchased, Though

I'm off work for the next three days, but I'm still up and getting ready to go swim this morning, and I'll take one last run through the grocery store because I need lettuce for my salads and a veggie to go with my turkey dinner. DH said he didn't care whether I made the turkey today or tomorrow, and I haven't made up my mind completely, but I have one more portion of chili left to eat, so I might do the turkey on Saturday instead of today. 

I'll have to be very conscious of calm today while I'm 
out at the grocery store. I fully expect it will be a bit 
of a zoo, and I just want to get in and out as quickly 
as I can. I need salad and veggies for my turkey dinner. 

I expect the grocery stores will be a total zoo today, so to make things easier, I'll go to Whole Foods instead of my local grocer. It's not that I can't get what I want at my local shop, it's that Whole Foods has self-checkout, and that speeds me up. I don't have to wait in a long line of people to buy my groceries, and I really don't need much, but what I need, I need. 

I'm thinking about getting some fresh green beans or 
some fresh Brussels sprouts. I enjoy both veggies, but 
the green beans might be an easier cook with the 
oven occupied by a large bird. 

I'll be on "radio silence" for the next few days, not returning to my blog until Monday. I'll read your posts and comment, because I don't like falling behind on that, and I'll probably post a "Happy Christmas" photo, but it's going to be minimal. Sharon's gift arrived at her house yesterday, so I'm totally on time, and I got quite a few prints backed and shrink wrapped for the shop. Our 4-day End of the Year Sale starts on Monday, so I'll be tied to the register for the four days. I'm happy with what I've gotten done, though. My art bins are filled with pretty things at excellent prices, and the store is as stocked as we could make it this year. Time to start selling down. 

Happy Holidays to all of my on-line friends. It's been 
a joy sharing this year with you. It's not over yet, but 
I'm already starting to look forward to sharing the next 
year with you too. Have a lovely Christmas Day and 
I'll be back on Monday. 

Have a glorious Holiday and be safe. Spend time with family if it's safe, or wish them a good holiday remotely if it's not. Stay healthy, be happy, and I'll be back on Monday morning. Namaste!
