I am on vacation. I am also sick. But this is better than being at work and sick. Yesterday, Matt and I celebrated our first anniversary. He took me out to dinner, and we had a very nice time. Apparently, every year Kroger’s sends out free-turkey coupons to everyone with a Kroger card who also spent a certain amount over the previous year. Matt and I were recipients. I decide why not use it even though we aren’t hosting Thanksgiving; we’ll just have a nice turkey some other night. The smallest coupon-qualifying turkey was 20 lbs. I don’t know why I brought it home. I certainly didn’t have to. (I suspect mind-control was involved). It’s humongous. I’ve named it Ted. Ted took over the refrigerator–half a dozen eggs are missing. Ted looks bigger. I bought Thanksgiving feast prep groceries today without realizing that Ted won’t give up any of his precious fridge space for them. After careful negotiations, Ted is in his own cooler, and Matt has decided to donate him to a homeless shelter tomorrow. Also, I received an A+ on The Booze Test: 100%ALCOHOLIC

Knitter’s Wrist
I have developed knitter’s wrist. It hurts so damn bad. I’ve been trying to get Christmas gifts done, and I am so sick of the Harry Potter hats. Two more to go. I can make it. Also, I need to order the yarn for the second half of Adrienne’s socks. She gave me yarn (Lorna’s Laces Shepard Sport in 3 different colors–very nice!) for my birthday and requested socks. But she didn’t know that you need 2 skeins for 1 pair, so I made her a sock. But since she has 2 feet, I’ll bet she’d like 2 socks.
