Getting a late start today. Not sad about that. Woke up at 9:30. Not too bad.
Stayed at karaoke until around MN last night. Didn't do so good on my last song by Bon Jovi but the tone was too high for me. Did pretty good an 3 Godsmack songs before that, though.
Got home around 12:30 and still had to take my medicine and eat. So it was around 2 when I went to bed.
Having lots of respiratory drainage this morning. Not sure if I'm fighting something off or it's just from all the smoke in the air from fireplaces. Oh, well. Took some medicine and drinking some coffee, then get to work on the house.
Going to challenge myself to see how much of the house I can get in order today. I think it should be quite a bit. Then maybe patch some of the holes in the walls and ceilings. Or vacuum up some leaves. I may do the leaves because I have limited time I can do things outside while there's sunlight and it's supposed to be a nice day.
Though I am not celebrating Thanksgiving today (daughter and I will have ours on Saturday), I still think of things I am thankful for. My daughter most of all. Roof over my head, food in the house, heat and electricity, clean water, a stable job. This year I was able to buy a large turkey and a small ham. There have been years that I was not able to have either one. There have been years where it was a Jennie-O frozen turkey roast (which sucked), chicken or even just hot dogs. I know I was still better off than some people. Though I can say that the years I had less make me appreciate more what I have right now. For a long time I had no electricity in the house except for generator power, which I could not run all the time. That meant the furnace wouldn't run because of the electric blower and control panel. It drew too much power for the generator and an electrical component was burned out. So, I'm happy to have electricity in the house.
Going for a time with less is not a sign of failure, nor does it make you a bad person. In many ways it makes you a better person, stronger. It makes you more appreciative and empathetic to others in the same situation.
