So, last week, my daughter, in the process of backing out of her parking spot caught the front bumper piece on a pole and ripped it away from the car. Am I mad? Not really. Am I happy? No. But it's not my problem. She and her sister share ownership of that vehicle and her sister has the insurance on it. So it was her sister she had to worry about. Not me. Still.....
Then, late Sunday night, my son let me know he'd been sick for the past week with Covid. Now, that made me mad. Not that he had it. That he didn't tell me he had it. GAH!!!!! He got the okay from his doctor to rejoin society this week, so he might come down for Thanksgiving. He did tell me, though, that he won't be able to taste or smell anything. Let me Gibbs-slap him silly for not telling me and we'll see if his senses come back. Sigh.
Wow… that’s a lot to unpack! I hope everything works out with your daughters and your son. Happy Thanksgiving!🥰0 -

📚☕ - 👍️ - Chorus - gods I couldn't hit anything right. I guess I'll be sitting down in front of the keyboard this week to try to at least get the notes (probably not the rhythm right - it's been too long since I've played piano to do more than just plunk out the right notes and an approximation of the actual melody. Hahaha!

My son didn't make it down here for Thanksgiving. Said he's still struggling with exhaustion and sleeping 12-16 hours a day. I'm glad he did the smart thing and decided to stay home and rest. I'd rather have him work on healing and I'd never have forgiven myself if he'd fallen asleep while driving on the freeway. My daughters said it didn't really feel like a holiday without him, but were also glad he'd decided to stay home and sleep. I'm getting the booster tomorrow and hoping that I have no reaction to it. I didn't have one to either of the original vaccines, well, except for a sore arm. Fingers crossed that's all I get this time.1 -

😅 - 👎️ - I did not. I planned, but the "booster headache" hit me while I was at lunch with friends and by the time I got home I was running a slight fever. I went to bed, slept for 3 hours. When I got up, the fever had abated, but the headache had not. I did walk the dog for her last walk but I'm not going to count that.

😬 It's bad, but it's not quite as bad as it looks. I usually weigh-in before breakfast, not right after lunch. That said it's less than a pound from being out of the recommended max BMI. No more cheeseball. Thanksgiving is over, 24 days to hit it hard before Christmas.
I need to at least do a daily weigh-in so I can see when I start to go off rails, instead of when I'm already in the water..1 -

🥅 - (1683/1247 - I was on my way to a good night... but my stress levels got to me while I was at the store last night and I picked up a package of donut holes. I put them back, but my daughter picked them back up again and bought them. So, I ate them. The whole effing package. Somewhere in the vicinity of 16 donut holes. Le sigh. Next time I go for "forbidden fruit," like a bananas or oranges or something)
