PORCH PONDERINGS

Thanksgiving

I pray everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Or if not, at least a peaceful day.

My day was spent quietly. We didn't go anywhere this year. I thought I sent info to hubby, but turns out I didn't. So we didn't agree on where to go or what to do. So we did nothing. I didn't cook. He didn't cook. I spent time in my office area. He spent time in his office area. I did for a walk, a bit chilly but nice. He took his usual walks.

Then at 7 PM, as usual, he retired for the night. Now this goes on all the time. I am left with at least 4 hours before I go to bed. I cannot lie in bed for 4 hours reading with the light on. We tried that. So I spend time alone in my office area puttzing around.

I watch videos, I knit, I get on Facebook, I read, I rearrange the upstairs area, I get annoyed by dogs barking next door. Mercy. I have tried to write, but the angst from drama in other parts of my life gets in the way.

So starting in December, just a few days away, I will make a concerted effort to write more. Get the angst out. The Christmas event in town will be over, and that currently is driving me bonkers. The event's leader finally brought me some long-overdue payments. She had no idea why people paid her, instead of the Chamber of Commerce. She stated, "I guess am the the town celebrity."

Well, I had an urge to blurt out some insult, but kept it inside. She is delusional, to say the least. She is not a celebrity in anyone's mind but her own. We are all celebrities with our families, our friends. But who really is or wants to be a celebrity? Good grief.

I did announce at the last Chamber meeting that on December 8, I will consider myself no longer the treasurer. The next day I will go to the bank and take my name off the account. I will drop off all the records with the bank president - who is also a Chamber member. Adios.

Black Friday today. I will not be shopping. I have too much stuff. I don't need anything except peace in my life and that is not for sale this year.
