Today Is SOOOOO Busy and Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving so tomorrow is my "Friday" and Friday will be a work day at the shop for the first day of our "Two-Day" Sale. As soon as I get into the shop on Friday I'll have to work with my staple gun and get my holiday garlands up and the two wreaths that I mount in the store at the front case and the front door. I should have done that yesterday, but was busy until the last minute with a shipment that we got in on Monday that had to be checked in and processed. Well, there's still processing to do, but at least everything is checked in, so it was a good day's work. 




DH and Chickie are tasked with putting up the 
store Christmas tree today. I'll do the garlands 
and the wreaths early Friday morning. I DON'T 
do trees. 



Today will be busy and hectic and not enough time - that's a guarantee. I start out in the pool, and then as soon as I'm home and have switched the first load of laundry from the washer to the dryer, I'm off to the grocery store. Yes - the grocery store on the DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING!!! OY! I'm not looking forward to it, but it's the only day I can shop and my "cupboards" are bare. DH already bought all of the Turkey Day fixings he wanted, and I have a large bird defrosting in my refrigerator to be roasted tomorrow, but there's the daily stuff that has to be bought, and I'll be busy in the kitchen for the rest of the day. 




I normally love my Alkagizer. I have one four days a 
week for my lunch at the shop. But Monday's glass 
made me almost vomit - I don't know if it was slightly 
"off", or what? But it was NOT a good thing. I'm 
going to toss the rest of that batch and stay off for a 
week or so. Then I'll make a new batch and start 
fresh. 



I've decided I'm taking a couple of weeks off my Alkagizer. I love them, but Monday's got me very ill. I think I'm a bit overly sensitive to them right now, even though I only drink them four days a week. I also think I'm leaving them in the refrigerator too long, when I should actually freeze them instead. That's much harder - my freezer space is VERY limited. But I'm going to toss the batch I have already made into today's garbage and start fresh after the first of December. Maybe that will work out better for my health. I think it's well worth the try. 




What a crazy Thanksgiving Day balloon in this photo. But 
with the reflected lights on the belly, it almost looks like 
a demon pumpkin wearing a Native American headdress 
and a VERY angry expression. Don't you think? LOL 
In any case, have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with 
a good meal and the friends and family you choose to 
spend it with. 



So, since I'm VERY tight on time before hitting the grocery like EVERY other person out there on the day before Thanksgiving, I'm closing this and wishing all of you a wonderful Wednesday. Be good, be kind, have patience and I'll pop in quickly tomorrow to wish all of you a great Turkey Day. Slava Ukraini.
