A VERY BUSY DAY

I had off from work today for Veterans' Day.  It was nice to have a two day weekend when I worked on Saturday.  I am enjoying all these days off.

I ended up sleeping almost the entire day yesterday and I feel so much better today.  Maybe a lot of my health problems has been because I was so tired.  I am determined to go to bed at a decent hour tonight.  In fact, as soon as I am finished writing this I am heading upstairs.

Joe and I are reading a book at bedtime.  It is a memoir written by a man who portrayed Santa for over 20 years.  Such a good book.  I read aloud and Joe listens and makes comments (and chuckles over the funny parts).  It's a nice way to end the day.

This afternoon I took Joe to a doctor's appointment downtown.  We expected to be there about 45 minutes and was so surprised that the appointment lasted almost 2 hours!  It cost me $24 to park which I definitely did not expect.  That's the trouble with center city -- parking!

We went to Sonic's drive through on the way home.  Joe was craving chicken strips and they have good ones.  He said it just hit the spot.  I didn't get a lemon slush (gasp!).  I tried an orange one.  It was good too, but I think I prefer the lemon.

I dropped Joe at home and then my friend Debbie and I went to Shop Rite.  I hadn't been shopping in a few weeks so it was a huge order.  But I still ended up not spending all that much.  And I got enough points for our free turkey.  Whoo hoo!  I love getting free food.

I made linguine with broccoli and garlic for dinner.  It is my favorite pasta dish.  And it turned out so good tonight.

I took a picture of the sunset from the car with my cell phone.  It was so beautiful.  It looked like a watercolor picture.  This photo doesn't do it justice, but you can get an idea of how beautiful it was.

Have a nice night everyone.
