The offer was made for people to get off work early today. I tossed my name in the hat and got off around 2 PM. I figured they will also be making that offer tomorrow due to slow calls. Since I'm working Friday, I get holiday pay. However, not if I take off early the day before the holiday. So, in the long run I still come out slightly ahead.
Besides, that gave me a chance with nice weather to get out and pull a bunch of dead flowers in the garden. Got all of the Cosmos pulled or chopped down. Many of those where 7 ft tall. Arms got a bit scratched up but glad I got it done.
Went shopping for Thanksgiving. Rotten day for that. Since I had to buy $25 worth of other groceries to get the special price on the turkey and didn't really need that much, I got a cheap ham, also. Both taste good but the good thing about turkey is that it's cheap in season. Good thing about ham is that it's one of those foods that will probably survive Armageddon.
Price of pork is still up. If it stays up like it is, looks like I'll just be making chicken tamales this year and no pork. Oh, well.
The temperature in the solarium went back up to 92 today. Since I was able to keep the door closed.
Broccoli sprouts are coming up. I figure on Thur one thing I'll do is get lettuce and spinach seeds started. Maybe some carrots and more potatoes, also. Can keep rotating crops in containers. The ones that had tomatoes in them can be used for some of those things, then rotate back to tomatoes again later.
