Turkey Day Eve, LJ Idol Voting and My Sale Email Flyer - It's Always Something!

I was awake at 1:30 am today, and decided sleeping was not going to happen, so after my meditation I went down, took my laptop, made last-minute additions for my Black Friday/Small Business Saturday email, added two more names to the mailing list, and hit SEND. Hopefully we'll get good business from all of this, we really need the dollars, and we love seeing the people. Busy is good, for us at this time of the year. 

Busy is good ... at least I know without a doubt that I'm 
alive - LOL. I'll be glad to be a bit less busy after the 
holiday season is over. 

I think DH will bring the Christmas tree up from the basement today and get it set up. Personally, I advised against it because we don't have many holiday ornaments left to hang onto the branches, but he's a person of "tradition", so ... it wasn't worth the argument. 

Usually I try to avoid the grocery store on the day before 
Thanksgiving, but I don't have a choice this year. So, I'll 
read a book on my phone while I'm inching ahead in line. 

On my end, I'm willing to face the long lines of a "day before Thanksgiving" grocery trip, because I'm out of some things that I HAVE to have and since I'm working on Friday, I don't have that day as a fall-back. But, what the heck. The only things I want/need to cook today are my baked fruit, and a butternut squash. I'll probably pick up a frozen Kevin's for my dinner - I just don't have the time to add cooking a dinner to that, and I'll have a large bird roasting tomorrow. 

I would very much appreciate your vote for my 
current story on the theme "Fools Errand". I actually 
had a lot of fun with this one once I got going, 
and so many of the other stories are rather 
depressing. I am a firm believer in positive thinking. LOL

I'm going into this Holiday season the least prepared that I've been for years and years. So let's concentrate on LJ Idol instead. I'm in the Final Six, and voting has opened for my current story. There are some good ones in the mix - a lot of depressing outlooks. I, on the other hand, took the positive for the prompt because I try to be a positive person, and I enjoy writing about happy people. There's too much angst in this world as it is. Anyway, the link to the poll post is here https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1175673.html and I hope you'll be kind to vote for me. I'm sure it will be close, and I've never gotten this far in any previous year, but all of these writers are REALLY good, and I'm breathing in rarefied air just being in the same group as they are. Please vote. Have an excellent Wednesday and a good Turkey Day. Slava Ukraini.
