Turkeys, Food, Tension and Sales - It's the Start of the Holiday Season *sigh*

It's a day off for me today, but it's also a day where I have to think very carefully about what I'm doing over the next week. The refrigerator space is minimal, but I think I have enough food to take me through to Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, and the 14 pound turkey that DH picked up yesterday that's taking up one shelf on his side of the refrigerator. 

DH bought a 14-pound turkey yesterday, and it's in the 
refrigerator taking up a good portion of the bottom 
shelf on his side of the "fridge" at this time. It might 
be a bit early to have the bird, but time compresses 
when there is so much that needs to be done. 

I have fresh cranberries that I want to cook today, so I have some for "Turkey Day", and I have to locate the gluten-free stuffing mix I bought a few weeks ago so that I have that on hand. I'll still need to go to the grocery store on Wednesday morning (which won't be fun - too many people getting last-minute stuff for the holiday meal), but I can't buy my salad stuff too far in advance. 

I haven't worked with fresh cranberries before, but my co-op 
had them on sale and they just called to me. So I have a bit 
more than a pound of fresh cranberries to cook down. I think 
I'll use maple syrup for the sweetener. It should be quite tasty. 

I have our e-mail sales flyer for our Black Friday/Small Business Saturday annual sale sitting on the desk in front of me. I need to make minor revisions and have that ready to send out, there are also new names to add to the mailing list. Between everything else, I need to find out how to enable sharing a file with a potential customer (for DH). He has a bunch of product pictures that he wants to share with a particular potential customer, and it would be easiest to do via sharing the file. It's a large, heavily populated group of photos, and was too large for him to just append to his email as a PDF (although I find that hard to believe, I guess it's possible). I think it actually hit the limit on their side, not ours. Still, we need to get this going. It's why we (I) started work on his web site in the first place, but after he looked at what I had developed last night, that didn't really meet his criteria either. *sigh* It's a mess, and we need to get it nailed. Any ideas you might have that will allow us to send a bunch of photographs to this potential buyer would be very helpful. 

It's a good thing I'm already bald, otherwise 
I'd be pulling my hair out from the pressure 
and tension. *sigh*

So, I'm going to try and enjoy this day. It's one of the last days I'll have off until the end of the month, so yeah - time is seriously compressing on me. I'll drop by the shop quite quickly this morning to drop some things off and check a couple of things, then I'm on the road picking up a prescription, getting my groceries, and figuring out the planning necessary to handle Thanksgiving and our two major days of sales at the shop before I can collapse on Sunday the 26th. Oy! LOL. Have a great day, hopefully you're a bit less busy than I am. I'll be back tomorrow to wrap up the week. Slava Ukraini and חיים למען ישראל.
