Kicking Back

Well, the kid seemed better today, after feeling worse yesterday. We had nice weather on Thanksgiving Day, with temperatures in the 60s, and so DD spent all afternoon playing outside at my mom's house with her cousins.

I think she was worn out, but we still had another family gathering to attend. She tried to doze on the couch, but with all the people around talking and laughing, it was too noisy. We didn't stay too long at my in-laws' gathering; when it got dark, nearly everyone headed home.

We took leftovers home from my mom's and ate some when we got home; the rest we ate today. All the food was good, as usual, and there were no cooking disasters. I only wish we didn't have to rush around to different places, but that's what we usually have to do.

Today, I spent about three hours total throughout the day working on finishing up my Nano. I think I am finally in the last chapter. It feels great to get this far.

Tomorrow, DD & I are braving the post-TG crowds and going shopping. Should be good to get out of the house; the weather promises to be nice, with temperatures still in the 60s.

I was glad to just kick back and relax today, and DD took a nap this morning, so I think that helped her. She seemed more like her regular self today, actually wanting to eat and playing with her toys. I almost forgot she was here once, when she was so quiet upstairs playing in her bedroom. She was making me a pretend unbirthday cake. We happened to watch Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" today.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
