Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's actually gray out, but not "dark"; it'll be cooler, only around 60, and mostly cloudy with not much chance of anything more than a few sprinkles.
Yesterday: Since today (and tomorrow) are holidays, yesterday was my last day at work, but I'm not "officially" retired until after tomorrow. It feels strange ... well, actually, nothing feels any different. LOL! I had an errand to run after work; and then DH decided he was tired of left-over turkey, so we went out for a chicken sandwich. I got a little bit more done on my sewing, and that's about all.
Today: My original plan was to watch a parade, maybe a movie, do some decorating, and go out to dinner. I have a feeling that plan will change. I think I may have to cook dinner, though it certainly won't be a turkey feast. I'll still get to watch the special things ... I've already got the parade (pre-coverage) tuned in. Whatever we do, it will be a relaxing day.
It is Thanksgiving Day in the US, and I am ever so thankful for my family, my friends, and this wonderful country I am so priviledged to live in. I pray for health, happiness, and safe travel for all of my readers and their loved ones!
