Life: It Goes On - December 1

Happy Sunday from grey and dreary Omaha, where the weather matches my mood. The week I've been looking forward to for so many weeks has come and gone. I've been sick for 10 days and haven't had a good night's sleep in almost that long. I've pushed through getting everything done I needed to have done before everyone arrived and now I'm completely out of energy. 

I'd like to say I'll just take this day to curl up with a book and recover, but I can't seem to focus on books at all lately. So I'm battling the bug, the blues, and the blahs. On the plus side, the bedding and sheets will be all washed up soon and the Thanksgiving things are all down and back where they belong. I'm ready to start decorating for Christmas...as soon as I muster up some energy for that. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: Lauren Weisberger's Revenge Wears Prada. Next up is Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomena. 

Watched: Lots of football. Lots of volleyball. Otherwise, the television has been blessedly turned off most of the week. 

Read: I haven't picked up either a physical book or e-book all week. 

The kids' table

Made: Lasagna, vegetarian lasagna, coffee cake, turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pies, peanut butter pie. And now we're over eating leftovers so we're making grilled cheese for lunch today. 

Enjoyed: Miss H arrived last Sunday night and Mini-me arrived Monday evening so the original five of us were all together Monday evening for dinner. For the next couple of days, they came and went as they hung out with friends and each other. Wednesday my sister and her husband arrived and Thursday Mini-him's future in-laws joined us as well. Thanksgiving was a little chaotic (unwell me is not the usual organized me!), but all in all the week was everything I wanted and needed.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: We spent a lot of time working on the basement ahead of company coming and I'm inspired to keep working on that...but it may be after Christmas before I have time to get back to it. 

Thinking About: Christmas. I have the family picture I needed for Christmas cards, I have plans for how I want to decorate this year, and I'm almost done shopping. 

Feeling: I think I've covered this.  

Looking forward to: I knew I was going to need something to look forward to after this past week so we're headed off to visit my aunt and uncle. 

Question of the week: How did your Thanksgiving go? Any issues with politics and family?
