Lovely weekend

Black Friday midnight opening wasn't as bad as feared. I wore mismatched clothes and too tired to care. Highly organized manager helps. Lines circled around the store and customers claimed hour and half wait. One customer had a return. Store doesn't do returns on Black Friday. This day is an exception to the rules: nothing honored, nothing held, no rainchecks, and top lady will say that to customers' faces. Went home aftershift and ordered my things online. I ain't waiting no hour line (8 hours at my cash register is enough). Then coupon I have is In Store Only and b4 1 PM. We'll see how long I nap. Nap was 2 hours so plenty time to shop. Grabbed a cat bracelet I had my eye on and stood in jewelry. They had 2 lines, 1 to view locked up jewelry and 2 to purchase jewelry. Heard a lady complain that she had been standing in line for 45 minutes and asked what she was in line for. I amazed it took her 45 minutes to ask this question. I think I was in line 30 minutes b4 my purchase. Then went to get quarters and gas. Went home to do laundry and put up more xmas decorations. Worked on cleaning the bathroom. Confused cats over coming and going so much, it will be good to go back to routine. Saturday got up well rested and go to work with runny nose. Figured I got a cold. By lunch lost my appetite. Then upset stomach came so afraid to eat anything. Try to get through work and coworkers say I appear unwell. When felt like vomit was coming, I asked to go home. Ate something 4 hours after got home when stomach got better, and feel sick again. This will be a great diet if I can't eat. Spent rest of night relaxing with From Paris With Love. I think I'm addicted to this movie. Today I get up and short time later, sirens scare the cats. The fire engine parks in front of my apartment. I smell nothing and heard nothing so must be a medical emergency. I heard their bootsteps on the ground floor. Hope neighbor is ok. Now relaxing in front of TV.

Happy Thanksgiving

Sorry haven't been blogging lately, I just figure nobody is reading my blog so why bother. But then, I need to work on my Christmas letter for this year so better get cracking on this to remember what all happened this year. I started a tax preparation class for a company in October and finsihed last week. I did my interview. I as so busy with classes and work so I had to stop writing on my novel. That was torture. Ideas flowed through my head like a river, but had no time to wrie them down. After Final Exam, I took a few hours to write a page. Did a lot of research on ancient cultures of the world and go through myths for ideas. Halloween was another work day. I wore cat ears headband, everybody enjoyed it. I live in an apartment so no Trick or treaters for me. Niece had her ninth birthday party at home. Enjoyed visiting with sister's in-laws and Mom's cousin. I played the Beatles Birthday song for niece, which upset the grown ups wanting to chat. Sorry. Had a lovely time and then as guests were leaving, I took niece and nephew to see the Chocolate Moose that was at the Iowa State Fair. Now it is in a mall right by Santa Claus. Niece and nephew visited Santa and rode the Christmas train. Then went home. And today is Thanksgiving. Going to sister's house. I work at midnight for Black Friday so I am not hosting anything. Fed the cats turkey. Nothing else to report.
